    Default two questions - with pics

    hey guys,

    ive been cleaning up the intake on my 4agze that came with an ae92 i bought

    can someone tell me what this is attached to the throttle body?

    whatever it is at the end of the pipes has ford stamped on it which adds to the confusion



    also, im pretty sure this next pic is a water temp sensor, but could someone confirm for me. It wasnt connected to the loom, so im wondering if I should wire it up



    thanks

    Joel

    the first pic is a falcon idle air control motor, which on a falcon is used to bypass air at idle. in your case it may be used as a idle air control or to bypass boost at idle being that its a supercharged engine so its not making boost with the throttle closed. second pic looks like a knock sensor

    1 - Idle speed controller. 4AGZE's use a slightly unusual 3 wire idle speed valve. So swapping it with something simple and easy to find from a Ford is not uncommon when an aftermarket ECU is fitted.

    2 - Knock sensor. Not used if you are running an aftermarket ECU (unless it's really fancy and can adjust timing based on knock).

    So nothing to worry about... unless it's still running the factory computer.
    I need a working 4AGE bottom end. Pref smallport GZE, but all others considered. Also complete motors.
    Drift Volvo. Was fun. 2JZ next time.

    great, thanks guys

    it is running an aftermarket computer (microtech lt10s), so it looks like everything is ok

    cheers
