power steering fluid resiv.

there is a hard line connecting the inlet of the canister
that hard line goes in front of the engine bay


is it important
does it serve a purpose?

Do you mean the vacuum line that goes to your PS pump?
It's going from the pump to the other side of the engine. there is a VSV for it.

It is used as 'idle up':

1) Makes it easier to turn the car at idle RPM.
2) Makes the engine rev a little higher and prevent it from stalling when consuming the extra power for the PS pump to work when the car is idle.

He's talking about the Cooler pipe.

Yes it's important.

 

[gotsomegetsome]

well how does that cool it?
its not hooked up to anything

Ummm...it's a loop in the air flow coming in from the front of the car.

If you like your PS pump, you'll leave it there hooked up like it's suppose to be.
