    Missing airflow pipes on M42 motor - please help!!

    Hi all,
    i really need some help desperately!!

    after spending 400 quid on someone to fit a new headgasket and skimming, i get the car back yesterday and after driving it a couple of miles discover that it doesnt what to idle at all and has very lumpy running.

    i popped the bonnet to discover that the air hoses havent been plumbed up correctly and there's a pipe or some sort of junction missing.

    i have attached a link to a picture to the area in question. could someone please tell me what parts i am missing or send a picture of what it should look like. and if possible part numbers?

    i have looked on the parts websites and cannot work out what is missing?

    i can hear you all saying ' why not just take it back to the garage'....i plan too, but unfortunately the guy has buggered off on hoilday for a couple of weeks.....i'm so pissed off about it.....you take something to be fixed and it comes back with parts missing....wrong!!

    please help....cheers

    Well in the states the ICV sits between the back of the head and the firewall connected to some vacum lines. Run your car and pull the dipstick while running. If it gets worse chances are your problem ISN'T a vac leak. If it bogs down a bit, you have another issue. Maybe this photo can help.

      the pipe from the ICV should go right into the intake boot
