hey guys,
Ive been rebuilding the top end of my 22re as a summer project (my brother blew the head gasket by overheating it this spring ), and am just finishing up. however, today I managed to break off some sort of valve while trying to fit a torque wrench where there really wasn't room. I don't know a lot about fuel injection or emissions systems, my policy has just been to put everything back where I found it. I'm kind of at a loss as to what it is, and was hoping someone on this forum could help me identify it so that I can order a replacement. It is located on the lower half of the intake manifold, screwed into (I think) the hot water jacket, and has two vaccum lines that hook up to it. Im going to try and post some pictures here. Thanks, and any help would be appreciated.
