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!
