Re: Install question PLEASE HELP ASAP

I have the same car, same motor and I think your mixing up hoses my friend. If you have the stock air cleaner and intake then there should be one breather from the passenger side valve cover into the air cleaner assembly (little orange thingy IIRC). There is also a tiny little vacuum hose that runs from the intake tubing. Couldn't tell you where that went cause mine wasn't hooked up. Check to make sure what you think is vacuum is vacuum. Stick a finger on it with the car running. Something along those lines. If it is vacuum, cap it and see what happens. Best advice I can give without *seeing* the problem. Hope it helps.
