I found this hanging the other week, it doesn't seem to stop anything working but surely it must be for something?

ohh shit ,no big deal though ,cant you see the snapped bit at all ?? is it going underneath the engine???

you might need to jack it up and look from under the car ?

can you take a wider picture of the engine bay showing the location of the plug ??????

also the pic of the wiring loom the other bit goes into???

is it a 1 pin plug when you disconnect ?????

could be part of an old alarm?

but didnt think connecters like that were used on them?

here is a wider shot for you, as requested.

yes it is a 1 pin plug when disconected.

these are the other wires that come out from the loom with it.
they go into the loom just behind the fan, wich is behind the coolant pipe in this pic.

its rare to find a 19 loom with the TB heater wire on it. plenty of TB's have the heater fitted but no wire.

Unplug it and remove the broken bit as it will short to earth

What was renault's intention with the throtle body heater?? you want cold air don't you? does anyone know, chris?

Forum Moderator Joined: 02 Mar 2004 Posts: 19978

not for cold starting you don't!

cold air makes the fuel drop out of suspension and condense.

Its actually better for the air to be warm rather than freezing cold. Its all at odds with power!

Cold air does make it faster but to cold and it becomes very innefficient.

carbed cars and cars like SPI's have the thermostatically controlled valves between the cold air intake and the heated intake fromt eh exhaust.

The theory is to keep the air around 20 degrees constant.
