I'd say so. Plug up that hose and see if the code doesn't go away. Check the EGR too and make sure the hose is hooked up. Check for any uncovered nipples around the plenum and throttle body too.

That I don't think I could tell you. I haven't touched a V6 in years. Just look around and see if you can't find anything that's missing a hose.

You might not find very many v6ers here, seeing as how its the TPI board... You could try the V6 board to see if they have any ideas...

i found where the other end of that hose goes, sometimes i hate going to mechanics who dont know much bout thirdgen's , i had explained him that there was a hose with a screw driver in it and he said nah thats nothing, i showed him and goes oh yeh thats not suppose to be like that, he connected it now, i disconnected my bat and no more codes, lets see if itll stay that way, im posting a pic of where it goes in a little bit
