You live by any squirrels? Rabbits? Maybe someone played a practical joke on you and stuffed something in there...

He means the "hole" on the intake where the "tube" was. This would either be the Intake Air Temp sensor, or the breather hole that connects from the intake to the valve cover. Why didn't you hook the hose up? No need for duct tape.

No the O2 sensors are on the exhaust, its the IAT on the intake,

Grey has a spectacular aura aboutGrey has a spectacular aura about
I think he means the PCV. The tube that goes from the valve cover to the intake. That one? Don't cover it! It's supposed to be connected to the engine. If you try covering it oil will come out of it and get your engine bay all dirty. At least put a little filter on the tube like some people do if you don't want to hook it up to the intake. What you should do though it put an oil catch tank in betwean the valve cover and the intake. That way the oil won't mess up the intake manifold and throttle body. You'll need to empty the catch tank every few thoudand miles. Well, depending on driving habits and catch tank size.

Anyway, why do you not have the PCV hooked up? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
