If I'm reading my parts manual correctly, that middle hose should connect to a T piece which then goes off to the airbox temperature sensor and to the top of the carburettors. (Page 43.03a in the parts manual).

It's unique to the automatics!

something like this:



or can somebody make it for me? i dont have a workshop manual (not yet..) or parts manual

Something very like that, I think.


If you PM Spav, he can arrange for you to get access to the online parts manual (for a small fee).
