The head holes for smog control were blocked, there is NO smog pump. I don't have a anti-flashback valve (whatever that is). I've searched, read, and looked at all the diagrams of hose layouts - but I'm just not getting the whole picture. In my defense, this is my first FI car, so I'm still learning - albeit slow. The problem I have with the drawings is they don't clearly show if the hose goes to the plenum or the air filter. So I went and took some notes. There are 5 places that I can easily identify (plenum, dizzy vacuum, air filter box, and motor) that have hose connections and only few devices that they can plug into: Devices: 1) Dizzy vacuum - has two hoses both go to the throttle body - DONE 2) MPS - has only ONE hose port - I assume goes to the plenum - would not make sense to go anywhere else. DONE 3) The De-accel thing has three ports (one small and two other medium sized), I don't know if one goes to the plenum and two to the air filter or the other way around. All I know it there is one smaller diam hose and two others the same size. NOT DONE. 4) AAR - one hose comes from the cold start valve, but where does the other hose go. My guess is to the air filter - since the one from the cold start is in the plenum. Maybe done? 5) That leaves the air filter - it has 5 hose ports (but one of them that is at the tip has some sort of T looking mounting bracket that is blocked off). Not done. I would guess that NO hose goes from the plenum to the air filter box - makes no sense. On the plenum there are five points where air can enter 1) the throttle body done! 2) the cold start valve - goes to the AAR - done! 3) the MPS 4) ?? 5) ?? And finally there are 2 hose ports on the motor (that I can see), one on the right near the fan shroud and one in the engine tin on the left side. I'm guessing they run into the air filter box - as I don't see where else they can go. No pressure on those so I'm thinking it's just fumes and stuff. Everyone that has chimed in has been very helpful and I really appreciate all your help. For all that have helped, I'm sorry this is dragging out and also for the redundancy of my questions. Thanks, Len |
