Earth strap and missing hose
Hi,
Two questions: On my 71S 2.2 MFI, I noticed a disconnected plastic coated earth cable hanging from the upper right side of the rear engine compartment (looking from the rear). What is the cable for and is it needed? Was it for an earth for the engine lid for the rear wiper that has been removed? The car has an earth cable from near the rear body tunnel to the end of the transmission and of course from the body to the battery Second question, I’ve seen engine photos of a pipe/hose that is connected to the front of the air cleaner intake on the right front side of the engine (looking from the rear). Mine has the provision for the connection on the air cleaner, but is it necessary and where does it go to? The engine appears to be running well without it apart from some occasional cold start MFI problems that I’m trying figure out. Thanks in advance for your help. Regards Dean Australia |

Dean,
I believe the ground cable for the engine/deck lid cover is stricly for RFI/radio emissions compliance. There are usually two vent hoses from the air cleaner assembly, one approx. 13 mm/1/2" to the oil tank, and another 6 mm or so to a water condensation line in front of the oil cooler through the forward sheet meatal. ------------------ Warren Hall 1973 911S Targa 1992 Dodge Dakota 5.2 4X4 parts hauler |
