GeneralDisorder Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Eliminate it - you don't need it, and it's a dealer only part. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingbobdole Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I cant remember who tought it to Rick, but he was having a Anti back fire/air induction issue... so what they did(at a meet mind you) is to pull the thing apart and stick quarters in the tubes... it seemed to work well and only a 50 cent fix!

moshem74 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 just to take this part off and close the 2 holes? whan this thing is out of the vacum line...it won't make back-fire when you drive and stuff? so why they put it from the first place?

GeneralDisorder Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 It is NOT (can't stress this enough here - NOT, NOT, NOT - understand?) a device that stops "backfire". It's proper technical name is "anti-afterburn valve". It's sole function is to eliminate the soft poping noises you will hear while coasting quickly (usually downhill) with the throttle plates closed. It is (IMO) a useless, extreanous device that should be eliminated. Get an EGR from an SPFI car that doesn't have the tube, and remove the valve, bracket an all associated junk. Beter yet - grab the whole SPFI and swap it on. And the quarter trick doesn't apply - that's the Air Suction Valve, and is not even connected to the AAV GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindSight Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 have a spfi donor ready but want to dog the crap out of this motor and get some miles out of it first...dont like the idea of just pulling a perfectly good motor out.....once I start having some more problems I will...but for now dont want another EA82 go to waste.

Phizinza Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 It's sole function is to eliminate the soft poping noises you will hear while coasting quickly (usually downhill) with the throttle plates closed. I love it when my car makes that noise, esp since it's got a open 2" pipe and the twin carbies. Fluttering, popping, stuttering noise.. love it. Take it off, you prolly wont notice it gone.
