This piece was hooked up to the air pump that I removed.

What is it?

 

looks like the EGR selonoid

 

I pulled the hookup that's on the intake and it's drawing a suction. I removed the piece Im holding in my hand and simply stopped the end up with a stopper and tucked the tube. Any ideas on what to do with it?

 

yea, thats the egr selonoid, i did the same as you did, just caped them off.

 

okay. thanks!

 

Doesn't look like an EGR solenoid to me. If it came off with the AIR system, it is probably a bleed valve for it. You won't need it with the AIR system gone.

 

Yeah the EGR solenoid didnt hook up to the air pump. That's the bleeder. I just pulled it all.

 

What about the vacuum?

 

put a cap over it. (intake side)

 

do just remove the whole tube from the intake and cap that end? it won't hurt anything?

 

Nope. If/when you remove your EGR soleniod you'll have to do it for that one too.

 

on a 95, I would have to say that is what the air pump recall installed

 

huh?

 

There was a recall on the AIR pump for 95's and when you (or whoever took it in) to fulfill the recall requirements, they had to install this valve on. Just remove it and either cap it off or plug it off. I took one of the plugs out of my old heads and then removed the one out of the intake and replaced it with the plug that was in the head. If you dont want to do this, just cap it off with a vaccum cap.
