Gloyale Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Looks like you've got your accesories vacuum hooked to the ported vacuum rather than full intake vacuum. The line for the vac canister and Cruise should be hooked to the port on the top of the #3 intake runner, rather than throttle body vacuum.

KootenayJK Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Are the fuel and tank vent lines hooked up correctly? Doesn't look right for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountain brat Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 im going to put in the vac pump from the xt6 donor and hook that hvac,cc,and diff lock hopefully. didnt realize i could hook that hvac to that vac hose on the throttle,it seems to work fine. the fuel lines should be right my delivery hose is just a little long.

mountain brat Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 if the vac pump wont do it i grabbed a outlet off another intake so i can ad another vac either on #3 side or next to the one for the brake booster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KootenayJK Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 the fuel lines should be right my delivery hose is just a little long. Only reason I mention is because on my car, the supply is the top line, and the tank vent is down on the frame rail, below the hill holder. Doesn't look like your lines are routed that way, is all.

mountain brat Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 mine was carbed before and it runs well so im pretty sure its right if u unhook it from the fuel rail and turn on the key fuel shoots out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairtax4me Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Looks nice! What's the little diaphragm thing attached to the number 1 intake runner? Oil pressure sensor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountain brat Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 yes i took the idiot sensor out made a hydraulic hose and adapted the ea sensor so my gauge will work.its simple and cheap to do, i think the hose cost 12 bucks.

The line for the vac canister and Cruise should be hooked to the port on the top of the #3 intake runner, rather than throttle body vacuum. Yeah, looked again. You definately have the accesories vacuum hooked to the Evap solenoid port. When the Evap solenoid opens you have a vacuum leak since you don't have a canister connected. Additionally, you're vent is capped so your tank has no vent. You should get an EJ canister and mount it in there, and route the accessories vacuum direct to intake vacuum. Details, but things that you should fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountain brat Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 it had fuel coming out though, so i capped it. ive heard vw guys cap it.my lifted rig did this also i have a canister but it filled and leaked also not sure but would like to get it right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
