3.4 Project Begins!!!!

[JAAY]

Beyond the mount being urethaned I pretty much finished up the motor assembly. I have to get my fuel lines staightend out and then she is going back in the car.

Does anyone, Todd, know what this clip is for? I feel pretty dumb asking but I can't figure it out. It is on the drivers side of the motor on the last leg of the harness that has the injector and the ignition coil on it. It has the same damn plug as the injectors. I can't figure it out. It has the orange ring around it. Here is a photo or two. HELP!

Just another photo of where I left off today.

If it is a red/black and purple wire it is for the tank venting valve or evap valve depending on what you want to call it.

Also, if I were you i'd seriously reconsider using the early 3-point motor mount. There is a reason Porsche changed the design when the motors go larger. If you want to rebuild one I have a couple 4-point mounts kicking around I'll be happy to send you one for the cost of shipping.

I believe that is the colors. I'm at work now. I'll look later. I still don't see anyhting to plug it in to. Am I missing something.

Yes, there is a hose that runs from the throttle body to a small electric valve that this connector regulates. This in turn attaches to the chassis and runs up to the evap system by the fuel filler. The valve is probably still mounted to the intake manifold on your old engine.

Damn it!.. You're always right. Still bolted to the bottom of my manifold. Thanks once again.

I went to my local fittings place and had my fuel lines figured out. This is what I came up with. As it looks right now I am only going to be using the fittings on the left side of the photo.



Put together fuel feed.



Fuel feed on thee 996 rail and fuel feed hose on it.
