High idle (Page 3/6) Patrick SEP 19, 05:14 PM There's an awful lot of dirt on the "clean" side of that air filter canister/TBI gasket. It should be absolutely spotless. Your poor engine! quote Originally posted by Scuba_steve45: I’ve been trying to post pictures of my vacuum lines but everytime I add a picture it tries not to let me lol You need to be logged in before you try and upload/post a photo. Scuba_steve45 SEP 19, 05:44 PM I know I know I’m just trying to get it running right and then I’ll fix her up real nice. quote Originally posted by Patrick: There's an awful lot of dirt on the "clean" side of that air filter canister/TBI gasket.

I apologize, my daughter is not as far along as I thought she was, but almost everything is connected... I hope this helps somewhat... 82-T/A [At Work] SEP 19, 06:06 PM Couple of things to note: 1 - When you look at picture #4 and #5. That vacuum port on the TBI unit that doesn't have anything connected to it, THAT connects to the vacuum line on the air cleaner, which connects to the blue or white thermalstatic valve, which then connects to the ThermAC. It's disconnected of course because I had to remove the air cleaner. The others should be pretty obvious, if not, let me know. 2 - When you look at the screw-in "tree" on the intake manifold, which has the THREE ports sticking off of it at 30 degree angles from each other. The larger middle one connects to the rubber tube that connects to the brake booster hard line (which you see going around the eye-loop and the fuel filter, and then past the air cleaner to the firewall). 3 - The other two connectors on that tree thing... she's supposed to be looking it up in the service manual, so I have no idea. But if anyone knows, I'd love to hear it. I know one side connects to the air tube that runs along the rear firewall, which powers the cruise control (if you have cruise, but I think from the previous picture... you do not). The other one... I THINK is supposed to be capped off. But maybe someone else can chime in. 82-T/A [At Work] SEP 19, 06:10 PM Hmm... one of these might be wrong, I just found this: 82-T/A [At Work] SEP 19, 06:33 PM Ok, I fixed a couple of things on my daughter's car. I just connected the firewall vacuum line to one of the two ports on the "tree" of the intake here: And then the other line, where my daughter had the thermac plugged into, that actually goes to the large firewall line that sticks out directly underneath the dog bone (you can't see it, but you can feel for it back there). Port "A" on the diagram above is the one that goes to the ThermAC. For the time being, you can plug that one off. Scuba_steve45 SEP 19, 08:24 PM I believe I have all of my vacuum lines in the right location based on the diagram and your pictures. Something I should mention, I’m not sure if this is important and I honestly forgot it even happened, but when this issue first started I was working on my car and I accidentally swapped the map and tps connectors. Could this have messed something up electrically? quote Originally posted by 82-T/A [At Work]: Ok, I fixed a couple of things on my daughter's car.

Could this have messed something up electrically? yeah that could be. are they still swapped? also like how they should be physically impossible to swap based on wire length (on a stock harness or a proper connector replacement) Scuba_steve45 SEP 20, 07:18 AM I guess I made it possible lol. They’re not still connected I noticed when I pulled the codes after the first start. Could this have messed up the ecu? I already replaced tps with a tested sensor and new connector. quote Originally posted by cartercarbaficionado: yeah that could be. are they still swapped? also like how they should be physically impossible to swap based on wire length (on a stock harness or a proper connector replacement) 82-T/A [At Work] SEP 20, 08:50 AM quote Originally posted by Scuba_steve45: I guess I made it possible lol.

Can you try to pull the codes and see what you're getting? I'm still thinking you have a vacuum leak... but I'd like to see what the codes say.
