Doing a rats nest removal? Connect it to the original location where the fpr solenoid connects to

I did the emissions removal awhile ago and left the solonoid in there connected to the same vacuum source it was using before.

Do people normally go with or without the solonoid after the removal? I've seen two N/A FCs running the FPR directly off of vacuum and that doesn't seem like the proper way.

and back to the topic
RETed has some stuff about the fuel lines and aftermarket fpr's along w/ a different type of fuel setups (location of fpr and lines, etc etc)
www.fc3spro.com i think, might be .net or fc3s-pro.com. i forget, good site though.

The solenoid just sets the FPR to atmospheric rate during start up to try and prevent flooding.

I ran it for a few months and found it did nothing beneficial. I removed it and it's running the same. A fuel cut switch is much better.

You should get vac from the original source.
Here is my old vac diagram so you can see where to get it.

Assuming this is a Turbo (since no car info was given), the FPR is normally fed from the angled nipple on the inside of the LIM.
