hello
I bought a pontiac '88 gta.
I have these hoses to put in order
if you have pictures
i think red with yellow
thank you

 

Rad (blue to green) coolant jug.
Yellow intake loops to orange or red tbody that exits at purple and goes to heater control valve that splits to heatercore and return line from heatercore.
White on the rad is the heatercore return line. Looks like you are missing the control valve and hard pipe on the frame rail.


Top port orange? on t-body feeds fresh air to pass valve cover.

 

ok thank you

 

looks like this?

 

Yup.

hi
I bought a control valve
but I'm lost in the connections

 

If you don't live in a cold area you can bypass the TB hose. Just cap off #10 and #6.
#9 connects to #2 on the control valve. #4 will connect to the left side heater core inlet located above the pass side valve cover on the firewall.
#3 on the control valve will "T" into the hose that connects to the right side heater core. It runs from the right side outlet to the large (WHITE) fitting on your rad. As TTop says you are missing this hard pipe that would have the "T" connection.
Coolant tank is correct #11 connects to the small fitting on your rad (BLUE).
If you do not want to source the missing hard line from the heater core you can just bypass all of that and just go direct from #9 to the large fitting (White) on the rad. No need for the control valve.
I can't help on the hack job of the wires...ouch!



In this pic my clean air intake (#5) for the VC is capped off. I am using that small K&N filter in it's place. Normally a hose would run from it to a fitting in the VC.

 

thank you
#10 connects to #6 ?

 

10 and 6 should have nothing in them if you connect everything else that way. So you can cap them or leave them.

 

originally how is the connection?

 

You very aptly numbered that last one as "13" since it is very unlucky. That line needs to be connected to "Port 5" on the throttle body, labeled in your other photo. That is the PCV valve air supply and it MUST be metered through the MAF, thus Port 5 should be the air source.

 

9 went to 10 with a short and special molded hose. 6 went to 2. That runs coolant through the TB and unless you're cold weather driving it, it's completely unnecessary and just a possible cause of a leak.

 

2 choices

 

This would be the proper routing for the way it was done originally. The only issue i see is do yo have a PCV valve on the drivers side VC? It should have a hose that goes into the base in between the runners on the drivers side. Green line in pic should be correct if you have a PCV valve.

 

driver side

 

That appears to be just a breather. I'd recommend putting a pcv valve in place of that.

 

 

And the 1




This hose?

 

It Is hard to tell from this photo but it appears to be cut. That does look like the proper vacuum connection for the control valve.

 

Agreed. Since this is the first image we've seen of the left side, it would have been tough to guess how that was connected. That now raises concerns about the EGR valve and FPR connections, and the EVAP, and cruise, etc.

 

Seeing the scotchlok connector on the TPS wiring is enough to make me concerned over everything.

 

 

Need this for the pass frame rail. Goes from rad then "Ts" up to the plastic valve and also back tot the heater core.

 

Okay. for line 15? I'll see if I have it. I can install a "T"

 

you have a picture of this connector?
I don't have the same colors

 

Ouch. Someone really hacked to get that out of there.

 

this hose goes here?

 

hello
on your pontiac this pipe connected like that?

 

 

Ok Thank you
I can remove the control valve
