hose from air cleaner to atmosphere..plug it??


Recommended Posts

noticed when i was trying to find my vacuum leak that there is hose coming from the drivers side of the air cleaner...its around 6-8 inches long and points down and is open, venting to the atmosphere i suppose...can i plug it? i keep getting kind of an exhaust smell in the cabin and am wondering if thats the culprit....

Alan, is it normal vacuum line sized hose, or is it more like a PCV hose? I don't have a carb'd EA82, so I can't go out and check, but I would suspect that it is either a PCV line or an ASV (Air Suction Valve) line... either, disconnected, could give you an exhausty smell. (The PCV would be a little more hot-oil smelling.)
