    Name That Vacuum Hose!

    Finishing up the last bits of the BP swap, and now I have a question about two peices of the vacuum line system. The first one is a hose that leads from behind the throttle body (near the firewall). The second is an connector that I couldn't find a matching hose for.

    The "obvious" solution seemed to connect the hose to the blank connection... but it just doesn't look like it's supposed to be like that. Also, the hose is slightly larger than the connection is.

      I can't figure out the first pic, don't have manuals with me to check, but the second one is for cruise. it would connect up to the cruise box thingy on the passenger side. if you don't have cruise, seal it somehow, temp or perm your choice.

      the first one makes me think of the little solenoid for the gas tank gases, but I don't remember that connecting like that.
      No car! I soldz it. Now I have a truck. I like it, but apparently it has a hard time keeping up with a slightly modified 4WD protege with half the hp. Neat.

                    Well its air fuel related best guess its a vac line for a valve for air mixture but I'm probably way off

                          THe other thing is, I'm not sure why it would have been disconnected when the engine was removed if it goes from the IM to there.

                          I've got a coolant line that's near there, but I don't have a vacuum connector anywhere near the throttle cable. I'll double check.
