My car was recently purchased. I,ve been doing normal thing to get drivable. Tuneup, Thottlebody clean, Alt. exhaust. Idles great pulled codes need O2 sensors and Knock
sens. 4th gear abnormal shift. I'm missing a harness and some hoses by the throttle body just in front of the intake wondering if they could be important. Please help.

 

You are missing one maybe 2 pieces of the emissions control stuff. It looks like you have a California emissions car, but I could be wrong. the 1995 year model was different because of the laws in effect at that time. The pieces I think you are missing are the Canister Purge Control Valve and the Canister Purge Cut Valve.

Here is a photo of my 1997.

 

There are some 95's that don't have those pictured above...and it looks like his do not require those pieces. That harness though I am wary about. Do you have ABS on that car?

 

My 1995 does not have those 2 things listed above.

 

Yours must not be a 95 then OP my 95 for sure never had a bracket on the intake manifold or a harness plug in that area. id say 96+ because of the additional obd2 emissions crap

your prob missing what was posted in #2

 

I have a 95 GLE and i just checked under the hood and I see the parts you're missing
. Mine is california emisssions as well. if that makes a difference

 

yes the purge is missing however the harness is my greatest concern i will update better pic soon

I tried to get the best pictures I can of my 95 GLE

 

Let us know if your car is a California or federal emissions car. A world of difference in the parts on 95's.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't california 4th gens are only really different in the 99 model year?

For example I have a 98 california I30, and it has none of the gobbledy gook (swirl valves, etc) of my friend's 99 california I30

 

how do i tell the difference

 

Under the hood, attached to the firewall on the passenger side is an aluminum plate with various information. You will see the car's VIN number and right below that is an ID code consisting of letters and numbers.

Count over to the 12th character from the left. It is a letter:
V = Federal pollution spec
V = California pollution spec
U = Canada pollution spec

If he didn't have the canister purge control valve his car wouldn't run at all

 

The op is definitely missing the Canister Purge Control Valve. But it is a different type of valve from the photo I posted. I'm not sure if that means the op has a fed spec car or if it is the difference between a 1995 Cali spec and my 1997 Cali spec.

The 2 valves are totally different and are not interchangeable. My 97 uses a stepper motor type valve while the other valve is a "duty cycle" valve (what ever that is). Besides the different valves, my 97 has an additional valve added, the Cut Valve, that was not used with the other Canister Purge Control Valve.

The wire harness is what had me wondering. The op's wires are in a plastic tube for protection. On my car, the wires don't have a tube because they come from a completely different direction. Looking up something else, I came across this drawing in service bulletin NTB00-085a:

 

The 95's are different because there are some without that valve. I am not at my 95 fed to provide pics but when I do, I will upload to show. My canister is under the master cylinder.

 

Would also like to know...

 

Here you go. The complete EGR system off my 95 GLE. No codes and everything is stock... My GXE is different.
