Solenoid for cold start!? :3Confused I only have one solenoid left - one for the purge system whatever that is called! Although most people would normally have the solenoid for the secondary throttle butterflies.

Same here. If you\'re going single properly, with an uprated fuel system, you should only need to keep the Purge and double throttle solenoids as Nik says.

Remove the solenoids within the circled area. The green one at the bottom you leave. Leave anything connected to the solenoids you leave alone, and the solenoids you remove, you should remove any hoses that were connected to them. Any hoses remaining on your manifolds need to be blocked up. The exception to this is the three holes on the lower inlet manifold which do not need to be blocked off.

Connectors can either be left hanging, or snipped. Any solenoids left need to be connected though, obviously (i.e. Connect to the green one, and the purge control).

The green is the secondary throttle solenoid. It takes a feed from a vacuum source, and then goes to the secondary throttle actuator on the upper inlet manifold.
