Title: Help needed with hoses please!
Post by: solarized on 18 July 2005, 15:05
Hi,
Got a dodgy idle / stalling problem when cold. Checked all the usual stuff - isv ect. On checking around for air leaks, I found a small hose that's pullin air in, and I aint sure where it goes. There's a small hose comes from the top of the fuel pressure regulator, connected to this is a t-piece, then the hose continues and connects to the inlet manifold. Another hose comes from the bottom of the t-piece, it's aroud 4 inches long, and it's just sat there pulling air in. Cant for the life of me see where it should be connected to - maybe it should just be plugged ? Anyone know ?

if its the 8v then one of the hoses should go to the airbox from the 'T' connector. the little extra hose thats on the inlet should be sealed up.

it is on mine anyway

Its a '88 8v by the way. Also it's had a K&N induction kit installed by previous owner, therefore no airbox.

That will have gone to the airbox vaccuum hose connectory bit :) like blue says get a screw and screw it in seals and can be undone when you discover where it goes :)
