Re: Help (vgolfw95)

I thinks the name is an accumulator, and they do go bad, rarely, but w/ sound going on in it, I thinks she needs changed. I want to tell you what I think it does, but the guys here are having alot of fun busting my chops....
And Kenny did the vacuum line replacement class, helped out across the board. Also there is a cold start valve that helps out with cold starting and idling, but I am not farmiliar with where it is on the CIS-E.
When the guys get done busting on me, I'm sure they will help you out. But I would replace the racket making gismo, what I call an accumulator. I would even consider getting one from a yard, they seem to be that rare of a problem.

I just went to Thepartsbin.com, I ordered the part. Thanks for the link. Should take care of the problem. I am slowly running out of things to fix. Thats what you get when a care sits for over a year without being started. Everything just sits there and corrodes.

Re: Help (92foxrox)

The accumulator acts as a surge protector for your fuel system; it protects the fuel distributor from pressure surges on startup, and helps reduce pump noise when the car is running. It also holds the system pressure for about a half an hour after shut-off, to prevent vapor lock(fuel vaporizing inside the lines of a hot engine).
