viceversa Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 After the engine install, I have a vacuum line which is loose and I don't know where it plugs in. It is less than 1/4" thick and it sucks air in. It forms a "T" with another line which goes from transmission to a sensor on the engine block. This T is near the EGR valve, somewhat in front and to the left of it. With this line loose, the engine doesn't idle and dies at every stop light unless I keep the RPMs high. When I plug it with something, the engine idles better but has a hard time starting and sometimes dies anyway. Whether I plug it or not, it runs good at highway speeds. I have both Chiltons and Haynes manuals and I looked at their vacuum diagrams but cannot figure out what this is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 Hey V.Versa, EA82's come with a wide variety of fuel systems. Few more specifics may get you an answer. There should be a vacuum line diagram on the under side of your hood. A pict would help greatly If your vacuum diagram is missing, if you list the car, year, and fuel system, maybe somebody can a) look it up in a FSM Check a similar car and send you a pict of the diagram.

oobnuker Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 Is the car a 5 Speed or Automatic? I have a 1990 SPFI Loyale 5 Speed - so I could probably help. Let me know and I will see what I can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 and there is no label under the hood? I have a FSM for this setup Can you get a pict? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 there is a narrow vacuum hose coming from the passenger firewall. it plugs into the plastic T from the manifold and transmission. does your defrost work. this is what controls the vent selectors. the body end will go to a small plastic reducer on a fatter hose off the strut tower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
