thats like the box with all the vacum tubes.

Im not sure, but looks to be the air intake solenoid valve, but i don't know what is the function.

If you have an EX, somewhere in that bay is a black box that controls vacum to a diaphram that opens your butterfly valves. Could be it? I don't have one, but I hear they're nice.

I know Honda calls it the air intake solenoid valve, like Razer said, but I'm not sure of it's purpose. At first I thought it would be like a pulsation dampener like many fuel systems have but air doesn't enter in pulses. The little plug-in on it, obviously doesn't serve much of a purpose than monitoring incoming air(I'm guessing so criticize if you must) because I took mine out and left the plug-in sitting there and I'm throwing no codes.

It's a 91 SE.

i think all accords have it.

its a device where under 3000 rpms the vacumn is strong and then it pulls up this little door in the bottom intake tube. it blocks that tube so that the sound (whooooooooooooooooo) cannot be heard at idle.

its dumb, i disconnected it. haha.

i think its called the intake control valve...doesnt hurt emmisions
