the three lines that are in the front of the TB, does it matter which one goes where? All three seem to be for vacuum. And one seems to be reversed because the line doesn't rest in a natural state... they look criss-crossed


Anyone have a pic of how they should look?

 

i appologise for the topic, i just realized how vague it is, and inappropriate. I will try and edit it at once.

 

ok get out your handy-dandy FSM go to chapter 4B and page 5 thier is your TB vacume diagram

sorry my bad thats for a 87 one sec ill get it

 

for a 89 its chapter 7

 

umm chapter 7 is for the tranny. but i'll look around, thanks

 

I see what you mean, but that doesn't really tell me whether or not two of those lines could be crisscrossed, or where the hell they go/what they do. Anyone know?

 

It won't matter if they are crossed, they are all just a vac source.

 

sorry i didnt help i was running out the door when i replied

 

the 3 on the front are the same doesn't matter. the rear ones are different and need to go to the right ones.

 

Wrong, they're not all vacuum. The middle one (which goes to the top of the purge control valve) if fed from before the throttle.

Look on pages F2-6 and F2-7 of the 89 FSM.

 

so i guess it does matter then, right NZ?

 

Bump?

 

They're only emissions related, but if you want it all to work properly then they need to be in the right place.

Look in the EFI chapter of the FSM. Between the system diagram on page F2-6 and the vacuum hose routing diagram on page F2-7 you can work out where everything goes.

 

iiinnnteresting... i'll swap em t'night and tell ya what's what.

Thanks NZ
