I had already decided that unless someone said that it is absolutely needed for (insert why here), it was gonna go. Thanks for validating my decision!
2004 3.3L NA throttle kicker?
I am about to re-install the throttle body and noticed this vacuum device on the side of it. It looks like it's some kind of throttle kicker, but when I apply vacuum to the port, it pulls the pushrod further from the adjuster, and even after an hour it never gets close to it.
Is this associated with the EGR? If so, then it's coming off, since I'm deleting the EGR when I put this all back together.

Or rather, I drive an Xterra slowly.

I've already decided to strip the coolant off the manifold along with the 2 solenoids under it, as well as the air and vacuum hoses. The TB will not be getting coolant anymore, so I may need to adjust my wax pellet or remove it altogether. It's not in good shape and I don't need a new leak after doing all this work.
I've seen images here on CX where someone asked for help finding a particular hose. In their image, there was a hole in the heat shield but none in the manifold, and that throttle kicker was also missing.
Identifying this hose on intake manifold
Have to replace these two hoses from the intake manifold. #1 is definitely coolant and I think I found the replacement part # 14056NB on the diagram. It's called: Nissan 14056-4S105 Hose-Water But I'm having trouble finding #2 as the diagram only shows one hose in that area on the...
