Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Vacuum valve by-pass: What does it do ?

[Peter Rychel (dino308gt4]

Try AllFerrariParts.com (used to be Dennis McCann, but now is owned by Tom Vail). It's been a while since I bought from them, but they have/had a great stock of NOS-OEM stuff at very competitive prices.

Try also Maranello Classic Parts in UK (ferrariparts.co.uk)...

You wrote "it could cause small backfires it controlls mixture upon deceleration". Yes that's exactly when it happens. Deceleration and steady rpm speed in 2nd, 3rd and sometimes 4th.

I guess I'll get the part. So far the cheapest one is 135 pounds from Europspares. I'll keep shopping.

 

Thank you all !

 So, if that part is malfunctioning (my mechanic told me it is not working anymore), can this be the cause of my backfires ?  It's been going on for 2-3 years and I changed A LOT of parts to solve the problem- I even wrote about it 1-2 years ago to the list. I get very small backfires when I'm driving at a regular rpm (3000 to 4000) in second and third gear when stuck in traffic. As long as I keep the rev going up, it's no problem. But if I'm stuck and keep the rev at a steady number (anywhere between 3000 and 4000) in 2nd or 3rd, rarely happens in 4th, never ever in 5th.  Then the very small backfires happen.

 

It's a very very expensive part. But if that's what it takes, then......................

it functions like the auxiliary air valve, but is controlled by intake vacuum instead of temperature, essentially it would help prevent excessive lean out with higher vacuum.
