not sure about my engine

I've had my n/a 1988 rx7 for almost a year now with ups and downs but I'm starting to notice areas that have palces for vaccum one on the motor and another over by my oil filter that goes up to my throttle.

I will try to get some pictures up lateer on when day time comes but where do i connect my pressure sensor? I can't find a place for it does it go on the intake?

Q&A welcome just need to learn some more avout how vaccum and air works still

Not sure what U are asking for? You are looking for vacuum lines?

What I'm asking what goes into the vaccum ports there is one on the engine. that when covered up drops my rpms to 3-500 rpms and the other vaccum line I'm curious about is the vaccum line that comes off my throttle it has a spare line that goes out i hooked up a vaccum gauge to them both the engine is very healthy but they have no tubes hooked up to them. and as for my pressure sensor where does that hook up too?

This first one is on the right side of the car near the air intake and just right above the exaust manifold.

1st pic runs to the Pressure Sensor. 2nd pic runs to a contraption that is connected to the oil filler neck.

Are you leaving the other line opened? There could be other causes for this, but the first pic most definitely runs to the Pressure Sensor.
