Hello!

This is my first post so here we go!

I have a 1987 Honda Prelude 1.8L dual carb and I am looking for the name of the part that is vacuum line hooks up to. I believe it is a nippodenso part, but it has no label. Also, I was stopped at a stop sign and my idle dropped and the car stalled. It would not start again until I covered the vacuum line and then it idled fine. Could this part be causing an idle issue? I have a picture of the part and highlighted it (it is taped up). I also took a picture of the vacuum diagram and highlight the part I think it is as well.

After looking at another thread, I believe the vacuum line that hooks up to this part also hooks up to the igniter module if that helps identify the part more easily.

After looking at my picture more thoroughly, I think that part is labeled as air control valve B. Would that be correct and causing my issue?

The part you circled in the engine bay is the anti afterburn valve. Unfortunately if its not working you wont be able to get a new one. The car will run without it but since I see you live in the worst state possible to have this car I don't know if it will pass emissions. lol.

Thank you for ID'ing it! Yes, California is terrible for owning cars 75 and after especially if they are older ones with issues passing smog. I think the part is working but a piece of it broke that fits into the hose. My dad used JB weld to hopefully hold it in place.
