Breakthrough!!

Oh ok, the vacuum hose on the bottom of the Accordion Tube...yep, it goes to the power steering.

Actually, I was asking about the vacuum hose that connects to the AFM.

Mine is connected from the AFM to the WG Actuator..

There is no vacuum line in the AFM... do you mean the hard pipe built onto the mounting bracket? That's *kind of* pictured in the images above... it sits in the middle of the hose which runs from the BVSV to the charcoal canister.

Here's a hint: On the under hood vacuum diagram (the red one posted above) any white segments of line indicate a hard pipe.

Okay, I just went out there and looked... It's not in the AFM, but it is on the bottom of the accordian pipe. I think. It's a long pipe, connected by two clamps.. as shown in F1.

HAH! I almost choked on my soda there.... managed to land most of it on the desk without saturating the keyboard though. Damn, I'm gonna get you a big ol' box of crayons for your birthday!


Underside of the accordian would be the power steering idle up vac source... a nipple about 3/8" in diameter? I hate to say it, but let's have an actual photo this time and we'll see if we can't get you sorted out real quickly.

oki


I'll go take one.

Ok.



That's the connector I drew.

Here's the line that runs into the accordion hose..


Here's where it connects...then the line runs into my actuator.

<puts on director's cap>A little further back next time... hard to tell precisely where things are and no reference for gauging dimensions. ,removes director's cap>

Well, I don't know what the hell he previous owner had going on and I'm not terribly worried about learning precisely HOW they managed to screw everything up... Just go through ALL of the vacuum hoses and make sure they all match the diagrams I've posted. The nipple off the bottom of the accordion connects to the Power Steering Valve shown in the pic below. The valve sits beside the block at the rear of the PS pump.
