thats your blinker fluid resovoir

 

[Turbo92PGT]

IIRC thats a silencer for the air going to your IAC. No need to clean it or anything

 

[Isaac-1]

The silencer was added to the IAC system in about '99 to reduce noise

2 girls in my high school actually went into a gas station and asked where the blinker fluid was because they were told that is what was wrong with their turn signals

Dumb blondes =(

I don't suppose you could pick up a couple HP by swapping a straight hose in place of the silencer could you?

Hmmm...my 96 has one. I hate things that silence. Out it comes.

I don't think so because the IAC allows air to bypass the TB to control idle speed. So I think removing this silencer would allow slightly more air to enter the IAC valve during idle conditions. This should not affect bhp.

Mine seems to make some noise, kinda sounds like a hissing sound at idle comes and goes though what gives? Dan

Man that engine bay is clean! What do you use to clean it with? If you powerwash do you do it with the motor running?

Sorry, I did not know you were being sarcastic. I took the question literally and figured it was worth thinking through. You never know when something has been overlooked.

good point, I'll almost always sacrifice a little comfort for a little speed
