ok so i got this car from a guy at school ho but in a 350 from an 89 blazer and upon opening the hood i found the two hoses disconnected one with a screw in it and the other with nothing in it so can any one tell me where they go and about the pic with the throttle cable with prong should it go on? should it stay on the one it is on or the longer one and if you look at the pic you can see behind the cable there is a longer cable that looks identical besides the longer silver pieces so my question is which one goes to which?

 

1st pic: there is a vacuum line coming out of the harness located behind the evaporator, connect that line to that bolt is.

2nd pic: sorry but my car doesn't have that cable.

3rd pic: connect that hose to a black ball (softball size) located inside the driver side fender.

 

evaporater is located where ? and i will check for a black ball

 

the evaporator is that big black thing located on the firewall passenger side.

 

The cable is for cruise control and i think it cant be hooked up due to the differences in the truck tbi unit.

 

ok ok now that makes all he sense in the world why it wont hook up now can one of you guys tell me why my speedometer or trip meter doesnt work. can that be part of y it doesnt

 

oh yeah mile mete doesnt work too

 

I think GAPD is talking about your charcoal canister..

 

and the charcoal canister is on fire walll on passenger side

 

Did you connect the vacuum lines?
Why is your speedometer and trip don't work?
Could be your speed sensor is bad or check the connector, bad cluster loose connection in the back if the cluster or like in my case, the car was parked for so many years that the plastic gears that move the gauge and the rolls of numbers were broken.

 

id check your speedo cable where its connected or is supposed to connect to the tranny. i had a 350 and 700r4 out of a 88 truck in my 84 camaro when i bought it and the cable wasnt connected to the tranny cause the speedo cable was the cable that reads by rotation and the tranny only had the elec. plug in.
its a long shot, but maybe its just not connected??

 

The cruise is operated on a vacuum, dont know why it wouldn't work, just move the cable out to the connector on the end. Or, pick up a TBI unit from a camaro and stick that on there, almost all of the hook ups should be the same. The hose by the charcoal canister is for emissions and fuel/return. Car might not run totally well without it hooked up.

For the speedo, like the last poster mentioned, if the car has a mechanical speedo but it's not hooked up or cable is broken, it won't read. If for some reason the tranny is designed for an electrical imput and your car has the mechanical speedo, it won't even hook up to it. Best bet there, I'd take it to a transmission shop and have them take a look at it. My cable broke, so my speedo quit working. Needed it wokring right away though because I work on a military base and 3mph over gets you a speeding ticket.

 

so i checked the tran for the electric or mechanical and in the rear of the tran where the drive shaft is there is a connector sor some sensor it was unpluged so i re connected it if that was it nothing happened. and yes my car is not running tottaly smooth so you are mostlikely right regarding the car not runing right what does the canister look like and can you post a pic of where it should hook up

Could be the VSS is bad, I'm not real versed on the electronic speedometers as mine is mechanical. Anyone else have some input on what to look for?

 

so where is the canister what does it look like

 

can anyone help me

 

Jreyes did you find the canister? I can get a picture if you like tomorrow and post it for you. Just to late now.

 

camarosrock i cant find it at all or im not looking in the right place i would greatly appreciate it if you could do that for me thank you and also i was gonna mention the hose that im holding with no bolt in it runs against the fire wall and connects to that hose with the bolt in it so if you could help thanks.

 

The charcoal cannister is the black round thing under your hand (looks like a coffee can) in the third picture you posted. The vacuum cannister is the round ball shaped thing under neath that cannister (it's upside down underneath it bolted to the same brackets)

 

ok i checked that canister and tere is no unpluged hoses for that hose to connect to and the two hoses i have unpluged seem to connecting to the other canister next to it i believe its the cruise control box or what ever you call it
