I'm puzzled. The platform the air filter mounts on in my 1987 Ranger with a EFI 2.9T engine has what looks like a canister of some sort to the rear. It has what appears to be two attachments for small hoses (one larger than the other) similar to those on the carbon cannister. there are no openings other than these two fittings. I assume there is a check valve in the larger one as I attached a section of hose which I could blow through but could not suck through. There has never been anything connected to this item that I know of. Also there is nothing refering to it in the Haynes or Chilton manuals nor can I find any diagrams showing any connections to it.
Is this something Ford had on a previous model and just used it to mount the air filter box on? My Ranger is an early 1987 as it was assembled in August 1986 so it could be from previous parts in stock.
