I removed my Kinetix SSV from my 03 Touring and was reinstalling the OEM manifold. I reconnected everything except one vacuum line. It is the line on the upper plenum of the intake manifold, by the throttle body. Where does this connect to? It is hard to tell in the diagram located in the FSM. Would anyone happen to have a good picture/diagram of the back of the motor?

Also, my "EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve" only has one vacuum line running to it (only one nipple/port for a vacuum line). However, in the FSM, all the pictures/diagrams make it seem as though there should be two?

I can take pictures to illustrate the part that I believe is the "EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve".

Thanks in advance for the help! Happy Holidays everyone!

 

there should be two copper nossles on the back of the plenum. The hoses will clearly stretch to the proper position. No way you can criss cross them due to the length. Another hose to the upper left. That should be it. The ones on the back of the plenum are hard to get to, but can be done. Take pictures and i can help more probably.

 

I'm not sure which hoses you are talking about. I connected to two hoses on the left (passenger side) of the plenum. I also connected the two coolant/water lines that are on the firewall side of the lower plenum. The vacuum port/nozzle I am confused about is next to the throttle body on the upper plenum by the firewall.

Here are pictures:


The hose in question

there should be another bracket on your purge selanoid as shown in the picture below. (upper left) This is a picture of mine during the spacer install.



That bolts to your plenum. The hose in question should connect to that housing. Then that housing should run down and connect to the bell housing i believe then onto your purge valve. Let me know if that helps?

 

Well I guess I removed the bracket for the SSV install and now I don't know where it is. However, I can't find whatever it is that hose connects to. Does anyone have any close-up pictures of where the "host in question" should connect to?

Thanks for the help so far!

 

Anyone?

 

pics?

 

They are in Post #3. Thanks in advance!

 

Any ideas? Happy New Year!

 

Can someone help me out? I'm finally back in VA and would like to drive my Z sometime...

 

the hose pic is a bad link

 

 

The last picture shows the plugged vacuum hose coming off the throttle body. (the one that I have no idea where it goes)

The other two show the purge solenoid. I can take other pictures upon request.

Thanks in advance!
