Might be a dumb question. do u mean the left side driver or passanger. I look at the engine compartment left side (passanger)

Are you talking about the driver side were the coil is? Its got 2 sccrew things on it and vacuum line going to it?

Heres the passanger side engine would those cause an issue? will the blue things go bad (check valve?)



Driver side red or blue?



Is it true at 2000rpm all those sensors open and all should have vacuum. Theres vaccum to red (from engine) Not from other side. Theres also vacuum on blue. (one line with elbow)
