need a few reference photos of an 86 EFI 4x4 engine (exhaust and intake) please..
I am doing a so so restoration on an 86 EFI 4x4 and I need a couple photos of the exhaust manifold plumbing to the intake side of the engine. It's been a while since I worked on an EFI this old. I have to smog this rig. The PO put an LC Header on it and welded air holes shut and tossed the EGR system and whatever else was related to the exhaust manifold and under the intake. I am not sure what is missing on it.
Anyone with a photo or an idea of what I need please let me know.
Here is the engine bay..
It doesn’t look like the idle air control valve is installed. That mounts to the underside of the intake. It has two ports to install air hoses, maybe 5/8”-3/4” diameter. It also has one electrical connection. On the side are two, smaller diameter coolant lines going up to the throttle body. One the front of the intake manifold you can see the two bolt holes where it should go.
The ground wire you have resting on the forward intake stud will actually go onto the center intake bolt, the one closest to the firewall. Not a big deal, I’m just not sure if having it on the stud would impact the harness and make it harder to plug in other connections.
once you get the egr modulator valve installed, along with the throttle body, you can start plugging vacuum lines into the vacuum rail running along side the valve cover. It looks formidable, but if you look on the throttle body you’ll see each port has a letter, and the modulator valve has the same markings. Don’t trust images off Google on this one, I think half the photos I’ve seen from owners had them wrong. If you buy a used EGR valve I’d get a can of brake cleaner and clean the gunk out of the various ports before installing. And bench test to make sure it holds vacuum.
I see two cut wires, maybe blue and red? Not sure what those went to, yet.
Mine is a 1987 with Calif. smog. If you need images of specific components lmk.
