    Recently my engine has been running rich (or at least smelling rich). When I took a look inside the engine bay, I noticed this hose disconnected. Can anyone a) identify what it is and b) where it goes? It may not be related to running rich but I feel it should be connected to something.

    If you don't know what it is but can take a photo of where it goes it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Here's a pic of the offending part. The orange line traces it's path. I have it over the current hose so it doesn't rest on the CV joint.

    See pages 75 and 76 in your 215/81 OM -- it's a part of the air injection system that delivers most of the air injection air directly to the cats when the coolant is above 122 deg F/50 deg C.

    (No effect of the A/F ratio of a Mondial8-2Vi, but it wouldn't be good if the ports on the cats where the split hose that that hose should be feeding were just left open.)

    Ah, thanks. It looks like I couldn't find the outlet because those hoses are missing as well. Looks like I have a little more work to do...
