Quick question here -- Can anyone tell me what exactly this pipe is, the purpose of it and if it's supposed to be open-ended like this? I've been having idling issues lately and thought maybe this was the culprit. It's located near the firewall.
Thank you

Thanks Gall - I wasn't aware this was part of the recall. It has been like this for the longest time but I assume the PO had this done. I am assuming it can be left as/is at this point then. [This message has been edited by Brent7088 (edited 10-02-2019).]

From This thread...

Hopefully that pipe was disconnected from your air filter canister during the recall (and the canister hole plugged), otherwise that uncapped pipe has been allowing outside unfiltered air to enter into the filtered side of your air intake system all these years.

I wish we could have a sticky thread about the "mystery pipe". People ask this same question about once a week.

Maybe we should start giving different answers... the wilder, the better.

My apologies for having to repeat a question like this... I had no idea how to search for it in the archived questions. Now I know it's supposed to be there and to leave it be.

I was eventually going to ask this same question as I found both sides open while doing some wrenching over the weekend. This should indeed be a sticky titled mystery pipe. So long and short is it don't need to be there and take it out. Thanks for the info!

I use google to find my stuff, not the PFF internal search engine.
I use the term "site:fiero.nl" in google when I want to find something on here.

My thoughts about using the search function are that there is probably information on this forum to answer every possible question that could be asked about a Fiero. For the past few years I and others have noted the decline in postings. Perhaps this is due to people using the search function. If everyone used the search function, none of us would know one another and would not have made friends (or enemies) and the forum would just be stagnant.
Keep asking those questions.
