vacuum help needed

March 21, 2006, 01:33:03 AM

Ok I know this has probably been asked before so I appologize I couldnt find what I needed with the search option. Does anyone have a Vacuum diagram for a 5.0 HO. Im putting it into a 3.8 car so Im not sure I have all the connections in the right spots to just stick it in and plug away at it. I looked at the bottom of the upper intake and first thing that came to mind was oh holy hell. Second thing that came to mind was ok where's the diagram? Anyone got a diagram that shows in great detail where the hoses go? preferably one with a picture of the intake on it.
Thanks everyone
Dan

I emailed you one that I had, if I had more time I would have posted it but I haven't got the proper apps to resize it...

ok thanks man great detail on it only problem is Im not the worlds best at reading those. Is the Vacuum check valve the piece on the bottom of the intake with all the vacuum ports coming off it? Also the TAB and TAD sensors hook to the Air pump? Would that be the vacuum lines for the smog pump? If that's the case my car doesn't have the smog pump on it, can I just cap those off? Also what are the two coming off the EGR plate? I'm not finding those two on any diagrams what so ever, are those even vacuum lines?

ok cool thanks man I got it printed off I can understand parts of it. Im guessing the FPR is the Fuel Pressure Regulator?the AC part I can bypass for the time being as I dont have the AC in my car. The part Im confused on really is the part with the TAB and TAD sensors.going by that those are for the emissions stuff having to do with the pump and converter. I bypassed all that so couldnt I just leave that part out? I would guess I can just hook that part it hooks to straight to the vacuum reserve. Which brings up my other question is that the hookup with more then one coming out of the middle underneath?
Thanks
Dan

Not sure what you're looking for exactly. Going off memory, I think everything hooks up as follows:

Thanks thats pretty much what I was looking for the other two Im having a problem with is the two on the EGR plate. What are they? I know the throttle body one hooks to the valve cover. Oh and also the two that hook to C since I have bypassed all the smog pump items and such can I just run C to the vacuum reserve?

The EGR are coolant lines since that exhaust heat warms it up some. As long as you route "C" back somewhere (reserve should work) or plug it, you should be fine. Better yet, you could find a fitting to replace the metal C&A splitter and run the fpr hose directly to it. One less possible vacuum leak in the future

ok so not to sound like a complete idiot but where do the coolant lines run to? anyone happen to have a cooling diagram that could possibly help here?
