964 Air idle valve

[Benengo]

Like an idiot i took mine out to give it a clean and didn't note which way round it was supposed to go back! A quick check of an installed one shouuld be able to see whether the arrow points fwd or backward?

Thanks!

C'mon guys.... I really don't want to have to guess!

WTF does that do,
should I risk doing something to mine?

Helps stabilise the idle when you stop reving the car, it tries to prevent stalling, idle microswitch plays its part too.

It should have moving parts that you can hear when you shake it, if it doesn't then a good clean is in order.

Not about to 'adjust' anything, but out of interest,

what does it look like and where does it reside?
