what is the hose that is orange/dark yellow? THe one running from TB to injector section???

i have just replaced and simplified my hose situation alla tjts. I have nothing conecting the where this hose is, and now my car wont start. The car started fine before, it just wouldnt hold an idle. i Dont show a CEL, so i cant check that. It tries to start, and never turns over....

Thats a vacuum hose for your fuel pressure regulator. Basically without this hose your fuel pressure regulator won't work.

That is another vacuum line. I think it goes to the vapor recovery canister. Charcoal canister in some cases. That canister is below your brake cylinder against the wheel well. As a matter of fact its below your power steering reservior.

Nick I think the graphic is pointing to the inlet in front of the fuel pressure reg.

i believe Nick is correct. there are two hoses coming from the TB. This is the little skinny one that is going to the FPR.

If this hose is disconected, i guess my car wouldnt start....? Does that sound right??

Thanks Guys.

It's a small hose and can be easy to miss.

Are you asking for the small hose or the big hose outlet? Because the small hose is the FPR and the big hose is for the charcoal canister. Ok. Don't be confused by others.

I just want you to know that I have disconnected my FPR hose and my car has run fine.

Blip Bavarian · « **Reply #8 on:** June 07, 2009, 04:10:55 PM »

So i replaced the FPR hose today, and nothing changed. The car still wont turn over.

cant think of what it could be. any ideas fellas. it would start fine before the hose swap....

Blip in your drawing are you asking about the .. arrow with the question mark next to it? That inlet leads from and to the charcoal canister. Which is below your power steering reservior. My question is That line connected?

are sure that you have not connected some water hose for the throttle heating instead of the hoses for air?
it would be easier to help you if you tell us if the car tries to start or even don't misfire? if you accelerate when starting the engine does it runs? maybe you've just forgotten to plug the idle hose or connecting some electrical connector...

No, i was talking about the skinny hose that goes to the fpr. I put a new hose in today, and that wasnt the problem. THe other line that leads from the TB to the charcoal canister is connected. That is one of the lines that i didnt replace.... I cant figure it out...

the only water line that i connected is the one that goes to the block. i basically have three new lines. One that goes from the intake boot to the ICV. Another that goes from the valve cover to TB. And the coolant line that runs up to the block (the one that some people plug)

Do you guys know of any way to try and diagnose the problem with the stomp codes, when there is no CEL...?

Ok. So as you can see every hose is connected. Well you said it ran before you changed the FPR hose. Correct? Ok. so see if you are getting spark in all the cylinders. Then check your fuel pump make sure it runs.Right now I am in Anchorage and my baby is in Daytona. I haven't seen her in a month. So I can't really go out to her and grab my Chiltons manual. But if my memory serves me right, you should hear a buzz when you turn the key on. I hope I am helping.

It ran before i did the complete swap of all of the hoses. Not before the FPR hose. Ever since the complete swap, it wont start. do you know of any other ways to check the fuel pump. I do not hear the buzzing.

You definitely have been helping, I am new to doing this kind of work, and really appreciate the help...
