Today if weather permits I plan to get the block off plat over the omp, run the last fuel line, run two new vac hoses and put the mim and uim back on. possibly start the car. but I need to know if I need this..
thx in advance

It's the air bypass solenoid located on the left side of the n/a engine on a eighty six car. It works with the air bypass relay to cause a high idle during cold starting and it opens only for 17 seconds during that event.
It's not NEEDED but then again, it ain't hurting anything sitting there. It's up to you.
