I've nearly completed the hose replacement, but there seems to be 2 hoses I can reach. They go to the bottom ACTUATOR (turbo control). The engine sub-frame is blocking it. How do you remove these 2 hoses?

 

You should be able to get to them from underneath... I can see them in clear sight... but I have my downpipe off.... do you have the stock DP on?

 

Use the "good" color vacuum hose diagram:

just gotta find someone with small hands

 

You can get to it from the bottom.
Just keep trying, if not then loosen the motor mounts and attach a cherry picker to the uim and hoist brcket and kift the engine a little.

 

Well, finally got them off. It took a minute, but I had to use some really long needle nose pliers and an x-acto knife.

Now, one more question that never really got an answer in another post... the aluminum check valve coming from the purge control solenoid (K), is it a one-way check valve? It has a small arrow on it, but I can blow through it both ways.

 

The arrow points to the UIM, But if you went non sequential you wouldnt even need that line anymore

 

So.... the arrow points to the manifold... does that mean bad check valve? The gas filter coming from the MAP seansor has an arrow on it, but air flows both ways through it.

This is almost the exact same answer I got before... are you guys picking on me?

 

If memory serves, that is a filter not a check valve.

 

Well, the pic says check valve.

 

it's a check valve, mine was bad also

 

check all the check valve and buy new ones if necessary... u dont want to open everything again..
