RE: Not a happy man_missing part from airflow pipes. Please help!

[jason318is]

Hi all,
i really need some help desperately!!

after spending 400 quid on someone to fit a new headgasket and skimming, i get the car back yesterday and after driving it a couple of miles discover that it doesnt what to idle at all and has very lumpy running.

i popped the bonnet to discover that the air hoses havent been plumbed up correctly and there's a pipe or some sort of junction missing.

i have attached a link to a picture to the area in question. could someone please tell me what parts i am missing or send a picture of what it should look like. and if possible part numbers?

i have looked on the parts websites and cannot work out what is missing?

i can hear you all saying ' why not just take it back to the garage'....i plan too, but unfortunately the guy has buggered off on hoilday for a couple of weeks.....i'm so pissed off about it.....you take something to be fixed and it comes back with parts missing....wrong!!

please help....cheers

The missing hose should connect the idle control valve to the intake elbow between the MAF and throttle body.

The mechanic connected a bunch of the hoses in correctly. Your best bet is remove the intake manifold and replace the old, cracked, taped up, bodged hoses with new pieces.
1 hose from the top of the valve cover to the the TB
1 hose from intake elbow to idle control valve to intake manifold
1 hose between coolant pipe and the side of the head.
Throw rest of the rats nest out.

Here is also a good diagram of the vacuum pipes:

It looks like in Jason's case they removed the "Y" pipe (#15) and had no idea what to do with the ICV valve hose.

Jason...Have you considered just doing away with all the mess under the intake:
