Vac line mistique :)

[cho]

hi guys

in due my project of total removal of EGR (currently just plugged) so it is
clear to me how to do it,but from the forum reading, I got that vac line from vacum lever (pic 1.) has something to do with EGR and with smoothness of the shifting.

my vac line vacum lever (on the valve cover) ends up in actuator (pic. 2)

is it safe to remove that line completely,..any up/downside of that removal?


thanks

If I'm reading correctly, the black line goes from that tee to the mess on the valve cover. If so, you can yank it. Keep the yellow plastic guy (with the green vac cylinder).

That's a vent line for the VCV and the EGR. You need to leave intact the segment that runs from the VCV to the cabin. Otherwise, the VCV will be "sucking air" from the engine compartment.

You can either plug the "T" or replace it with a straight hose.

(... and also has nothing to do with shifting as said on d.giant site...)
