Default 14 pin engine bay connector - 86 5.0 litre

I'm rewiring the engine bay of my RHD 5.0 Litre, LH Jetronic 928S, damaged by fire. I bought it this way!
Checking the pin out for the 14 pin engine bay plug, both in the wiring diagram and in posted pin outs, every thing makes sense except pin 7.
Pin 7 is shown as coming from CE Panel Q14 [which connects in the CE Panel to the wire from the fuel pump relay to the fuel pump], and going to an Auxiliary Air Valve. Not the Idle Stabilization Valve but Auxiliary Air Valve.
I don't think such a thing exists on the 86 5.0 Litre LH Jetronic engines?
Can anyone shine some very bright light on this please?

Aux Air Valve would have been to increase idle when the A/C compressor was on. Not 100% sure the 86 used it though. My 82/83/84 all had them. My 90 (obviously) does not.

This question came up on the list only a couple of weeks ago. If you're talking about the classic bimetal type airvalve, then these are used on the 16v Euro LH buried under the passenger side runners LHD, but it's IIRC not used on the 5 litre 32v of 85-86.

There's also an airvalve on the crossbrace as mentioned above, but this isn't fed from the FP relay as you describe.

Yes, that AC valve in on my 81S but the 86 raise the revs for AC via the computers.

John, this is the car getting your rebuilt MAF. I've had all the intake gear off both my 86 5.0L cars and apart from the ICV there are no air valves in there but I want to be sure I have not missed any thing.
I don't really want to pull my running 14 pin plug apart to see what there and this one is just a bunch of bunt copper strands.
Just another one of Porsche's 86 foibles!
