G'day, I have just purchased a 92 model BG Astina, it's twin cam and I guess it would be a 1.8L then?
Anyway, I fitted a pod filter, I tried removeing that air resonator box after the AFM but the car wouldn't idle with out giving it a prod on the accelerator to keep it going, I tried blocking the hose up and it was worse - no idle at all.
So, I was wondering, could I run this hose that goes to what might be the IAC straight into the intake pipe without the resonator box. I'm guessing it should work but then why did they go to the trouble of putting the resonator box in.....

Any help would be great and if anyone knows where I can get my hands on service manuals and technical info for the engine in sydney metro I would appreciate it.
