Fortunately, mine seems to run just fine without it - I just plugged the hoses.

Which admittedly is kinda a half-assed way to deal with it - and might very well impact your smog inspection - but works.

The other looks like a venturi - which are a PITA - they seem to leak. I wasn't aware NA's had venturis, if that's what it is. Where is it and where do the hoses go?
Mike;
So you just plugged yours,mine is open, it needs to be plugged right as it can open sometimes?
