Great looking engine, even cleaner than mine! Now, the pressing question: What're the bungies for? Color accent? Holding the battery in?
>> Ohhh, so is that what that [A] is. All I know is that that !@#$% thing kept me from being able to do a simple DIY job....
Yeah, that's the hooter valve, and yes it makes changing filters an exercise in profanity and a temptation to throw things. Removing some of the flotsam and jetsam around the filter housing, like the hooter valve, is almost necessary. I always got to the filter without any disassembly, but the newer cars are more difficult for some reason, my '95 requiring some disassembly.
BTW, the thingie at "B" is the BPC solenoid. It's the thing that goes bad and causes base boost that you hear so much about around here.
, namely, replacing the air filter. There was just no !@#$% way that I could get the filter out, let alone put a new one in, without disconnecting the hose from [A] to the metal intake tube. And even though I loosened the hose clamps, I didn't feel that I could disconnect the hose (very tight), let alone put it back. So, frustrated and fearful, I just let the dealer do the air filter replacement. According to the mechanic, he had to disconnect [A], although how he did it, I don't know.
BTW, there is something close by [B] that also has three hoses connected to it, although the hoses are the same size. All three hoses seem to go to the same point, so I kinda have to wonder... But [A] seemed to fit your description of hooter valve better than [B].
