Where does this connect?
I'm trying to figure out where this port on my air cleaner, actually connects to. I out lined the port with a yellow box.
Does anyone know what this connects to? and maybe a picture ?

Connects to the opening in the valve cover.

Yes, there should be a rubber grommet in the valve cover hole that the end of that pipe pushes into.
Put a little engine oil on it first to help slide it in.
Its very easy to push the rubber grommet into the valve cover if your not carful.

I believe that hooks to the throttle body (provided that your car is fuel injected), there should be a vacuum port that has nothing attached to it.

Re: Where does this connect?
Ok thanks guys! Tell me, Does the crank case vent tube that we are talking about, does it connect to the valve cover via a valve cover breather? or how does it connect to the valve cover?
Another question:
Where does this line connect to ? I have the line colored red.
ON this emissions diagram, it says that the line connects to the "s" port on my throttlebody.
As you can see, my "S" port, has like ugh.. no connection? It just has a inward divet in the metal.
Am I missing something?? Or where does this Temp Sensor connect to?

Re: Where does this connect?
That's a vacuum hose.
The hole your arrow is pointing at is not a vacuum port.
There is a screw in there that will adjust the throttle called a throttle stop screw.
Don't mess with it until you ask for help doing it.
My throttle body looks like this photo I found on the web.
It has four ports.
Apparently there are some out there with only three.
I'm not familure with them.
Someone ealse will have to step in and help at this point.

Re: Where does this connect?
I'm going to just ""While you can splice in a "T" to the existing vacuum line on the opposite side of the throttle body it is suggested you do it right and put in a new port"""
splice a "T" to the existing vacuum line lol The left manifold vacuum.
That should be fine right?

Re: Where does this connect?
Should be. I'd check vacuum pull before and after to see if it makes a difference.
