Which hose connects to this? Bill? Gordon?

[Dave535Phoenix]

On the intake manifold next to the fuel lines.

I don't remember anything being connected to it...

Any help much appreciated.

t's into the hose that goes from the valve cover to the intake hose bellows that connects the airflow meter to the air filter...

Thanks Bill!

just type in your VIN number and then select YOUR car's parts, after you found the main page click on the explosion drawings and there is nothing better -even better than the Bentley - than these drawings with all single parts
Make that page one of your favourites

Damn. I'm screwed. I disconnected the hose from the nipple in the picture. the piece fell apart. I was sure this was the vacuum hose to the FPR but it isn't . there are 2 hose nipple things. the one not pointing at arrow is actually the one going to FPR. What does the other go too? I tore this hose out and have no clue where it goes now? And I don't have another hose to connect to it??? Shops are all closed now 10PM and I have work tomorrow? Can I drove around w/ out the other hose connected?

[Kalevera]

Jeeze...that blows. I'm sorry for giving you bad information - I thought there was only one vacuum hose down there myself (at least, it FELT like it ;) ) - guess I should've looked at the intake pic first, eh ;). I would run out and check to see what the other is connected to, but my car is about an hour away at the $tealers. Sorry, bro -- hope you can get it fixed.

best, whit

Thanks for the try man,

maybe you can redeem yourself :)

Ok I found what I think i figured it out? But not quite sure. I need some second opinions. Don't want to get my hosed mixed up.

Ok so there are 2 vacuum hoses.

1) The one w/ the arrow/ open nipple and no hose connected.
2) The one w/ black hose connected in the picture.

I believe hose #1 connects to the regulator valve near the Air Flow Sensor? Can someone please verify this

Hose #2 connects to the FPR?

I was given a Meter of hose from BMA. I was able to cut it in two pieces as the length to each connection wasn't bad. So hopefully I'm ok. I just want some reassurance taht I connected everything properly.

[InfernoM3]

Here's a pic for easily reading.

red arrow is hose #1
from Air regulator valve

blue line is hose #2
from FPR

I am sure it doesn't matter which one goes round which way, but the nipple closest to the front of the car goes to your FPR.

The rear nipple goes to a t-junction that runs into the 'vent pipe' which connects the pipe on your valve cover to the big boot (which runs all your metered air between your throttle body and AFM).

Simple as that!

I think I got it right. Just wanted some more confidence. I connected the one closed to front of car to the FPR and the one in rear to the air valve.

hope your right.

thanks.

u'll be fine!
