IT IS A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO TELL, BASED OF THE LIGHTING, IF THIS IS THE
WARM-UP REGULATOR VACUM HOSE. IF YOU CAN SEND ME A SIMILAR PICTURE TAKEN
FOM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT I WILL BE ABLE TO SHOW YOU
WHERE THIS HOSE IS CONNECTED.

THE CANNISTER ITEM IS ACTUALLY THE OIL BREATHER. DISSCONNECT THE AIR
CLEANER HOSE & PULL THE UNIT OUT OF THE PIPE IT SITS IN.
YOU WILL NOTICE A BLACK RUBBER "O" RING CLOSE TO THE UPPER EDGE OF THE
UNIT. THE "O" RING WILL BE LOOSE OR MISSING. REPLACING THIS PART WILL ALLOW
THE UNIT TO SIT FIRMILY IN THE VENT PIPE.

LARGE RIBBED HOSE THAT CONNECTS THE AIR CLEANER TO THE AIR INLET DUCT. This
is an unusual hose and may be difficult to find at you local auto parts
store. It is available from DeLorean parts suppliers as item # 105927G
priced under $20.
