Yellow/black stripe vac line
Didn't find it via search.
My '85 wagon has 4-5 times the vac lines my beloved '80 smoker has. My yellow line to door vac valve holds vac. The green/yellow stripe to ACC holds vac. Brown line to ign holds vac. Yellow/black stripe line does not, and I can't find where this goes. It heads off towards passenger side, but disappears behind dash humanity. I'm having problems with car shutoff (5-10 seconds, then a violent shuddering cutoff) and my door locks. I can plumb them straight to 'T' on main vac hose and they work fine. But in original configuration, T'd with yellow/black line door locks don't work and shutoff is delayed, with said violent outcome. Anyone know what that yellow/black line goes to? It was so easy to get the '80 vac working correctly!

If it is connected to a check valve along with the door locks, it is the vacuum supply bottle. I'm not sure where it is located on the wagon. It takes alot of pumping to fill it with vacuum (or empty it, depends on how you look at it). It took me probably 100 pumps to get it to hold but it finally did.

The SM shows a yellow/GRAY line is used for the reserve tank in the rear of the car. It is routed thru the dash area over to the passenger side and then under the passenger floor carpet (front and rear) to the rear tank.
Check your rear tank line color. The tank is located under what would be the rear passengers foot well. If you dont' have the 3rd seat it is under the cargo deck. If this line is the same color, then you have found your problem. Check the tank and the line. Dave

Have you checked at the fuel door flap ?
These were faulty enough that there is a TSB about fixing them ..... |

It goes to the vacuum tank...
I check my 85 wagon, you can see it going to the tank by removing the panel where the medical kit is, next to the back lights.

Thank yall very much for clearing that up. I will try and really pump that up tomorrow. also explains why my locks aren't working with it disconnected. Like I have said, I simply can't believe how many vac lines are on an '85 model. sheesh....
