It broke off where the red arrows point to in this pic.

Can i just delete this hose? should i delete a.i.r completely? Help!

 

Which part broke? Two parts join at the arrows you show. It's up to you whether you want to replace or delete.

 

The threads on the shiny object coming from the exhaust manifold broke, right were the arrow points. Any side effects to deleting it? what do i plug the exhaust manifold with?

 

the pic didnt work, and its supposed to be there for emmissions, but the car will pass without it as long as the tech guy doesnt notice its no longer there...

 

He won't pass a sniffer test unless your cats are hot with the AIR off. The AIR just helps the cats heat up in the first 3 minutes. If you have cats, just get the cats hot before you go in for the sniffer test if there is one.

 

Without the A.I.R. system you run the risk of destroying your cat(s) prematurely from the rich fuel mixture during open loop start-up (first 2 minutes of driving). Usually people that delete the A.I.R. system also delete their cat(s).

 

i have no sniffer test here in ny for my 94. Ill probably delete my cat anyway.


Thanks!
