Tenterfeild is a nice little town, and the history between Glen innes is really interesting too,the Gay Singer and one time husband of Liza Minelli ,the late Peter Allen came from there.It was also where Australia become a sovreign Nation instead of a collection of seperate colonies.
Glen Innes was the home of several Famous Australian Authors,Including Ruth Parks whose husbands works included the Peter Finch Movie ." The Shiralee" .

Now to Business.
These cars ALL came with the electronic idle control.
This one I am working on now has been bodged like yours.
WOnder why both are messed up same way?

The Warm up regulator should be connected so that the Front lower port is connected to the Throttle switch on the throttle body.
The correct port is on the (your) passenger side of the throttle (it's down under the large airflow meter thing) .

:confused: Have to check for that!

If you shine a light down there you will see a white plasti device with three hoses leading off. the top hose is the connection for the front port on the warm up regulator.

The Port on the rear( at the bottom) of the WUR is connected to the left hand thermo switch device directly behind the WUR. ( you should have two of those,left and right) .
This must have a large black plastic hose with a rubber tee which then connects to a port half way along the intake manifold
.:D Yep got that!

On top of the WUR is a hose which connects to the large black hoses feeding into the intake airmeter from the Airslide device.
:D That's right!

Now...on the opposite of the throttle body ( your drivers side) are two ports .The top port must be connected to the EGR valve.thats the big device on the drivers side exhaust manifold.
:confused: need to check

The lower port is connected to the Vacuum switch,thats the metal device mounted to the left hand fender .It has one plastic line and one electrical leading into it. :confused: have to check



The other plastic leads come from the white plastic device of the passenger side of the throttle body.On the underside of the switch where you cannot see them ( ) are two ports.
The lower one ,connects to a 4 port rubber connector. :eek: there is one leg of the quad tha I don't know where its from...

The upper connects to line running from the engine to the point on the firewall where it connects to a reservoir.This a long line,around 4 feet in length
.:confused:

The 4 port connector is connected to the intake by the green/white one way valve.the green side is faced towards the manifold.
:( mine haS yellow toward intake

one lead from the 4 port connector is to the ditributor.
:D Right

one leads to the left hand switch behind the WUR> :D
yeah when it was not broken
Now its connected to bottom of T that used to also be in the broken TVV

The right hand switch activates the EGR so it's not important that it's connected ( well..not here anyway)

Thats somewhat later,yours is an earlier car with vastly different vacuum set up.
It's a pretty simple matter to get the air assembly off,and is in fact a good idea because the black rubber moulding underneath is prone to cracking which can cause idle problems,while there it gives you a good chance to replace any cracked lines etc.
The sensor you circled with the question mark is a engine water heat sensor to tell the injection and electronic idle control that the engine is warmed up.
