What is this solenoid for?

On the firewall of my 96 mx3 gs mtx there is a mitsu solenoid with a single vacume line on it. When i got the car this was capped off. Does anyone know what it is for?

I recently did a klze swap into my OBDII car and its proving to be hell to sort out the wiring and vacume systems.

hmm, you sure its only 1 vacuum hose?, theres a purge solenoid valve on the firewall, but its got 2 vacuum lines

On the firewall, just about right in the middle. That is for the EGR charcoal canister, which I would hope you didn't hook up. I know you Canooks have to E-Test, but they look for EGR here too. Just that most of the techs look for the charcoal canister, which I left in the car to fool them.

That cant be it. How would it work with only 1 vacume port on it?

This has to be a sensor of some sort. not sure what sensor though.

Speaking of egr, how do you guy hook up the egr on your ze? the egr has 3 lines on it. 1 small vacume line and 2 larger vacume lines that go no where right now.

LOL you have 2 identical threads going for the same issue... like tunes said, take a picture!

if you can't get a pic right back there, take one a little further out and circle what you are talking about or something...
