1990lumina Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 I was under my car after I dropped a socket and extension onto the subframe the other day :x , anyway I saw what is pictured below while looking under the left front fender towards the front.... I have no idea what this is, but I would like to know what it is, and it's function if anyone knows that'd be awesome Thanks!! - Jeff L.

paulo57509 Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 It's the vacuum reservoir. It provides vacuum to the HVAC and cruise control systems during times of low vacuum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GutlessSupreme Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 If you don't have one then = upper vents close when you're pushing the throttle past a certain point. And trust me, this sucks during the winter. Not like these cars are very well insulated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
