HI Tim, Well .... Not anything that the list hasn't talked about. It does mention a valve that was to be located back by the license plate. It was to control preheating of the intake air. It was to be changed when crossing water. I guess they found that there wasn't a need for preheating the intake air therefore, made the entire intake as we have it today. (Even my 2 wheel drive GL had the snorkel tube) This in turn obsoleted any valve of this nature! A.....your in Canada aren't you? You my have shutch a valve? It may be needed for vary cold climates only!

Eric Lawyers: the number 1 problem we have today! Problem number 2 is the EGO!
