Normally when i work on a section of my max that ive never worked on before, i like to print out the illustration from courtesy parts with all the part names and numbers down to every last bolt labeled in the illustration. This helps me prepare the right tools and see where everything is located and what connects to what beforehand. Also makes it easier to purchase broken/worn out parts.

However, i cannot find the swirl valve components anywhere. If anyone knows can you please send me the link, im trying to prepare for deleting the swirl valves and would like an illustration.

 

there are not always illustrations of everything unfortunately, but there is some information that is searchable about removing or disabling the swirl valves.

 

Yeah i found the thread with pics on how to remove them, but replacing the LIM with a FED LIM would be easier and doesnt require welding the holes from the rods shut.

What im trying to figure out is what i can do with the accuator and solenoid and where all those vacuum lines lead to. I want to clean out the engine bay as much as possible without throwing a CEL

 

Are you sure your car has swirl valves? AFAIK only Cali spec cars have it. My Fed spec 2000 doesn't have swirl valves.

 

Mines a cali. Im trying to figure out what i can do after replacing the LIM with a fed one.

 

the lines i believe can be plugged?

 

Hey i found the section, its in vacuum piping (duhh).

Question, GGENIUS you say the lines can be capped off, you mean that 1 (and only) line that goes into the accuator? Look at the diagram, its the hose that goes from the 3-way to the accuator.

22320HH plugs into swirl valve acctuator... 14916 is the 3-way. Where do i cap off? And i wont get a code right?
