Question pls help me identify this parts name.

please help me identify the name of this part from my 1994 honda civic LX 4 door sedan. it is a 1.5L 4 cylinder 16 valve engine with a carburetor (ph15 philippine made). thank you.

this part is located under the carb














i think this part affects the idle of my car. the idle is erratic i think due to the damage to the said part seen in the last 2 images. a link to a supplier of said part would also be greatly appreciated. thank you.

I really can't help with the part it's self. What you might try is taking it out, clean it up with a solvent and small wire brush, check the valve to make sure it has spring action, JB weld it back together. That may get you down the road until you get a replacement.

Looks like a vacuum manifold of sorts. Wouldn't be able to tell you without an engine code.

Edit: google search tells me you got the same answer on h-t. If it is indeed a vacuum manifold, you can probably finagle an aftermarket vacuum manifold to replace the existing one.

Re: pls help me identify this parts name.

While looking up an older version (from an 1985), it looks like they describe it as "JOINT, NINE-WAY (NOT AVAILABLE)", not the exact one you need but may give you an idea of what you are looking for.

If you find a parts diagram from honda, it should be under Engine / Install Pipes-Tubes

Re: pls help me identify this parts name.

From the looks of your pics a 5 port should work. #10 hose is looped back into the stem.

It's definitely a Ported Vacuum Switch, but all the ones I've seen for Civics have only 2 ports.

My goofy self managed to miss the post that said you could find one with 5 ports.

If you can find one with 4 ports, it should work sense 2 of the 6 ports are looped to eachother. If not, take the 5 port switch and cap the one closest to the switch off.

Worst case scenario, take the 2 port switch and a pair of Y or T couplers. Maybe the closest 2 and the farthest 2 work off the same vacuum. I kinda doubt it, but if nothing else works, it might be worth a shot trying.
