My car won't idle, pretty sure this could cause it. Anyone know what is supposed to connect to this? Its on the throttle linkage.

that actually doesnt need to connect to anything i dont think. Mine just has a little piece of val line and is attatched to a litle air filter, i think its just to dampen the throttle if you let it snap back, someone correct me if im wrong

You're right. The dashpot is an emissions device. It eases the throttle plate closed the last little bit to allow some air through. Without that air the fuel that got left behind when you came off the throttle would cause a spike in HC.

There's supposed to be a delay valve in the hose before the filter. It allows air to flow unrestricted into the dashpot one way but bleeds it off slowly on the way back out. Without the valve no damping will take place. The little filter is there to keep the valve clean when the air flows in.
