Yep, was running great, Puuuurrrrring, but no, I just couldn't leave it alone! Had to take another look at the vacuum lines.

The larger of the two hard plastic vacuum lines that go to the vapor recovery system, it apparently connects under the intake manafold way back in there somewhere near the bottom of the air intake throddle body. Yep, that one. #@+*^

I cannot see the connection nipple. Even if I could I know this will not be easy! Anyone know the easiest way to get under there and where I'm going? Still waiting for the manuals to arrive.

I know, I know Your All Amused!

It is still to outside to see under the intake.

At dark I will proble with the small flex light under there!

Run it up on ramps or if you have access to a lift use it. Prepare to snake you arm up to the elbow to reach the end of the hose. I replaced mine (2) and the EGR tube (metal) and it takes patience. I finally destroyed the clamps and pried the hose pieces off as they were brittle to begin with. New hose, new clamps and some silicon spray to help ease it back on. The patience comes in with trying to get the clamps in place, but it can be done.

Well, I was so mad and jumping around yelling at all the animals in the nearby woods that I had NOT realized this is not a vacuum line it is the engine side of the fuel vapor recovery system. (I believe??)

O.K. this one was under the intake manifold to start with, but I don't really think it was connected there at all. That would explain why it pulled out so easily when I was checking the lines. There is one vacuum line under there that connects a few inches below the air intake. It is in tact and connected. Another passes below there and goes to the rear of the engine below the manifold, it too appears to be intact.

I think a prior mechanic tucked it (This line!) away there! While checking closely I can find NO open ports for this to connect too. Can anyone check as to where the engine side of the fuel vapor recovery system connects too?

The vacuum line on this same valve is connected O.K. The other line out of the canister runs down to the frame and to the back fuel tank area!

JUNK MECHANICS WHO SKIP BUY THE REAL REPAIR!

The Intake is pretty easy to remove. I think YOU CAN DO IT!

Yes I can Ironhead, and I appreciate your confidance, But I need to see where it goes first (The line). I don't think it really belonged there!

I guess I will have to wait for the manuls to get here!

But I really wish people who just want to cut out parts and / or bypass them instead of fix them right would move to the really far north! Cause I am never going back to those parts again!

How many would like to send all the hack's to the area above Whitehorse in the Yukon Territories!

As for all of you I met in the Whitehorse bar's in the eightie's, sorry but your invited down here if the statue of limitations has expiered!
