If this is the rotary idle air valve, the arrow points in the direction of airflow - which is FROM the airflow meter TO the intake ports. That would mean opposite the direction you seem to be indicating. You wouldn't think it would make any difference, but our car would not run properly when it was installed backwards, fine when in the correct way.
