Whats this orange o ring from?

pHEnomIC · 07-02-2009, 03:13 PM

I am putting my engine together and I have an thin orange o ring that i cant figure out what it is from. It is similar to the one found in the iac valve but its not that one or the one on part that goes to the brake booster. It was on the floor near my intake manifold so i assume its something from there but I cant figure it out.

it is the o-rong between the throttle body and the intake? mine is orange

how big is it? could it be from the water pump?

How about a picture or atleast a rough estimate on how big it is....talk about a stab in the dark dude.

+1.....seeing as how it was by the intake thats my guess!

Is it from your MAP Sensor?

Let's all just keep guessing....

My guess is intake manifold!

Well i said its about the same size as the iac valves o ring, about an inch in diameter and its circle, not much more that can be displayed in a picture.

I dont know what you did to the engine, but would it be the one on the oil pump? mine was orange..

Not if its the same size as the IAC o-ring. It may be that you had two in there.

If you insist, compared to a screw driver bit

elias_799 · 07-03-2009, 12:18 AM

you don't need that, that's extra given from the factory

Texas_WS6 · 07-03-2009, 12:30 AM

will it fit the TPS?

Texas_WS6 · 07-03-2009, 12:31 AM

Is this an fbody or truck?

johnLs1camaro · 07-03-2009, 12:34 AM

it also kinda looks like my lock up oring on my automatic tranny.. you dont have an a4 or havent pulled the trans have you?

pHEnomIC · 07-03-2009, 12:58 AM

Its an m6, fbody car. i pulled the tps off and it already had a different kind of gasket. I dont think its map or tb.

mcowart · 07-03-2009, 08:10 PM

its too small for the throttle body....

LS1Formulation · 07-03-2009, 08:42 PM

Are you positive it's not just an O-ring that accidentally made it's way onto the floor under your car?

Texas_WS6 · 07-04-2009, 09:15 AM

I am telling you it is the muffler defibulator oring!

It looks like it is an extra one. Did you replace the IAC or the TPS? If so it is probly the original one and it must of fell off when you pulled the part out of the TB, and the new part came with one. But I like my first answer best, muffler defibulator oring.

Have you started the car yet to check for any leeks?
