Leave the solenoid and the relay and leave them plugged in, the ECU still looks for those. But you don't need any vacuum lines to the solenoid. Unplug the hot to the air pump.

Hello MVS, No need for help today. Just wanted to publicly pass along to Matt and everyone here that makes this site what it is: thank you. I was given this car by my dad who got it new in 2000. It had a fair amount of issues when I got it (parents were tired of the all the random problems) and as a...

I adjusted size ordering for this run from what I learned from the last run -- excepting XXL, which was unavailable from my suppl...

* Changed the oil a couple of days ago on the C30 and couldn't find the filter socket. In removing the air box to provide more room we discovered the PCV Sensor was off and in the plug (right red arrow). The previous owner had tried to epoxy it and it didn't held. Not sure if it was already off or w...
