I just finished installing a starter on Wife's 1993 190E 2.3 and I have a stray vacuum line. It is black with a white stripe and it starts at a single male port that comes out of the top of the intake manifold. It is the only vacuum port located on the top side of the intake manifold. There is a "U" shaped rubber connector that directs a two foot vacuum line downward. The other end of the line was hanging unattached down next to the starter and it has a streight rubber connector on the end of it. I don't know if the vacuum line fell to that location and if it shoud be attached down there or somewhere else. I cannot find anything that it can be connected to.

I am hesitant to finish reconnecting the rest of the job... intake manifold mount etc before I find out where the line goes to.

I am near my wits end because I removed and installed the starter 3 times. Any help will be most appriciated.

The good new is that I got the starter working after 3 days of grief.
