My car has had a really rough idle lately, and has died sitting at stop lights/signs. Even while driving slowly. So today I was checking around for vacuum leaks, and I unplugged a hose while the car was running, and it started to idle better. So since my rough idle problem was mainly while I was in drive, I pulled the e-brake and put the car into drive. I was pleased to see that it didn't die, nor have too bad of a rough idle when I did this. I don't know what this part is so before I start going mid evil on my bank account, I'd like to know if this could fix my idle, or if it's just a coincident that it idles better. Time for pictures...
The top hose in this picture is the one I pulled off. It comes from the intake manifold, right below the TB.
The hose leads to the part that is right below the blue wire, that has the cap top. (It's not a cap.) It's right on the firewall.
And the hose that is below leads to another part exactly like that further down the firewall. (Right below the yellow zip tie.)
So would these effect the rough idle? What are they called? What's their purpose? I need to know ASAP, 'cause this is my daily driver, and I have to have it fixed tonight. Thanks!
