Re: fuel regulator vacuum hose
it would not make sense for tbi to have a vacuum referenced fuel pressure regulator, for the simple fact that the injectors are in near atmospheric pressure (above the plates)
vacuum referenced pressure regulators are to compensate for the fact that in a port injection system, fuel injectors require less pressure to deliver the same amount of fuel under vacuum.
that hose on the ground? might have been replaced at some point and was laying around your engine bay? man i have wrenches..vac lines..rad hoses.. all sorts of fun stuff fall out of engine bays.
maybe a sensor got disconnected (or you left one disconnected?)
