Stumped..Need to identify part
Guys, I'm a new Vette owner. 1987 Coupe. We had it running great and a retainer/bracket holder fell of of an electrical vacuum ?? part right below the MAF. The car since won't run worth a crap. This piece is connected with small hoses to the Air injection control valve. My chevy dealership doesn't know what it is!
This piece looks similiar to the air injection control valve GM part # 17087221 or ACD 214-107. But it's not the part that I need. The part that I need is the bracket that broke that holds this piece in place. Does anyone know what it may be? It is associated with the Air injection control valve. I will post a pic as soon as i figure out how to. Thankx
Here's the pics.....

ok, so this is the part that I need to identify. We broke the bracket that holds this part in place. You can see in the one pic what the mounting piece looks like. Then you hook up this piece ?? that you must connect 1 L shaped connector and one connector that plugs in and then you clip the retainer/bracket to hold it on securely.
That is what broke. The bracket. How do I get this bracket. I don't even know what this piece is? Please help

OK, here are more better pics. These pics you can see where the Air injection control valve has a bracket holding it in place. Look to the right and you can see where the other UNIDENTIFIED part is WITHOUT a bracket. I need to know what this part is called so I can buy a bracket for it. You can see in the last pic that the bracket is missing and how it snaps on. Please help me indentifying this part so I can get the bracket ordered. Thank you Guys

Thankx Guys but that did not help. The part is not on that list. I looked up evap solenoid and purge solenoid. Nothing.
I noticed that this piece in question has a 1" hose going from it to the air "injection" pump. Does this help with identifying the part?

There's little doubt in my mind that it's a solenoid... if it's not part of the evaporative emissions system, and not a canister purge solenoid, I'm not sure what other kind of solenoid it might be...

In the early L98s the A.I.R. pump valves were two separate units. One is the diverter valve (diverts the air to atmosphere or to the switch valve) and the other is the switch valve (switches between exhaust manifolds and catalytic converter). In later years (I'm not sure when -- 1989?) the two valves were combined into a single unit.
Here's a better version of the Nalley GMC picture (I've spent a lot of time and money there and a little web site hacking will get me to this picture):
http://parts.nalleygmc.com/showAssem...ey_trimLevel=0
The part you're talking about is part of #68, the diverter valve.
I had one of the A.I.R. solenoids fail on my car. The valve is no longer available. You can't buy the individual parts. I fixed mine by buying a valve for a Buick and taking the solenoid off and putting it on my car. The pieces just snap together.
On my car the two solenoid connectors are keyed differently, so they don't interchange. The black solenoid takes a black connector and the gray solenoid takes a gray connector. I think GM went to different connectors (sealed) in 1987, so this may no longer apply.

On the solenoid itself there is likely a DR-xxxxx. Post that number and I believe I can chase the bracket for it. I'm out of town and not near the reference materials but if you supply that information I may be able to accomplish it. I won't be back home until Friday or Saturday. Let's make sure I understand, you want the bracket that retains the solenoid, is that correct?
DR-82478
Yes you guys are all right. Its a Air Management Valve. Air injection Control valve. All the above.
Yes, one solenoid is black and the other gray. The DR-82478 is black. If I can now find a cover (snap-on) for this that would be great. Anybody have one or no where I can get one.
Thank you all for the help. I look forward to hearing where I can get one. Thankx WVZR-1!!! and everyone else.......more pics coming.
