Re: [DML] you're the next contestant on "Name that Hose!!!"

[Jim Strickland <ihaveanaccount@xxxx>]

These hoses go the carbon cannister (also called the vapor cannister). I
would argue that they are close to the backside of the engine compart
than the middle though. The carbon cannister store vapors from the fuel
tank. A hose runs (as a vent) from the fuel tank the the cannister (hose
3). The other two hoses are a signal (vacuum) to dispel the vapors, and
the hose which does the purging. The purge hose goes to the engine
intake. The signal hose goes just where you thought it did- under the
air intake.. The connector for your loose hose is underneath the "W"
shaped part of the air intake manifold... It's slightly to the left of
the rear center of the engine. It's a pain to get to, but the hose
should just slide back on where it belongs if you can get in there. You
may want to consider getting a new hose or a spring clamp if it's
loose... no vacuum=no purge. It's not important for the car to run, but
it does make your car more 'environmental'. Good luck.
