Name that Vac Line

  • Sponsors (?)


First picture has 3 vacuum lines. Red one goes to fuel pressure regulator, green one goes to EGR valve, and the brownish one goes to the smog pump valve. You're going to need some sort of vacuum source going to the fuel pressure regulator. The green can be gotten rid of if you don't have the EGR valve anymore. Get rid of the brownish one. There is a vacuum tree in the fender. Get rid of that also. The second picture shows the tube coming from the gas tank and you should keep that hooked up if you don't want to smell gas fumes.
 
Trueblue is correct. The second one is the purge solenoid for the EVAP system. Helps keep your tank from building pressure in the heat and uses the fumes that your fuel gives off to purge into the intake to help with gas mileage and emmissions.
 
None of the lines coming off that tree in that first picture go the fuel pressure regulator. One goes to the intake, the other one goes to EGR, and the other two go to the smog control valves.

My car only had one vacuum line going to the FPR and it was a short black line that went straight to the upper intake. Both the red and the green went to the EGR and to a fitting on the elbow of the intake. If you are deleting EGR and smog you need none of the vacuum lines in the first picture. The second picture does need a vacuum line to it.

Correct, the FPR has it's own little short line that goes directly to the intake. If someone has hooked the red line to your FPR, then you've got your vacuum lines misrouted.
