I caped the one in front of the tbi. I don't think you should cap the one in the back of the TBI

the hose on the front of the TBI goes to the stock air cleaner. I have an open element so I stuck a bolt in the tube to cap it. Maybe the thing you have in front should be in back?

THe vacum hose in the back of the throttle body is for the MAP sensor. THat is why it is running like crap too. Hook it up and it should be ok. THe map sensor is located on the passenger side hanging down off the cowl. there should be a vacum hose coming out of it as well.

Yup, vacuum port on rear of TB is for MAP. Actually it COULD connect to the front port but that would look sloppy. MAP sensor doesn't care as long as it has vacuum. It could even connect to the intake manifold.

How can you guys work on your cars without a Chilton's or a service manual? The vacuum and wiring diagrams alone are worth the expense. BTW there should be a sticker under the hood with a vacuum diagram printed on it too.
