    Hellooo

    There is this mysterious hose going to nowhere and i just cannot find where it connects.

    Not leaking liquid, so im assuming vacuume hose.

    Coming off a hard line that seems to also be connected to a larger hose behind the head, and traveling toward the driver side.

    Anybody have ideas?

    This is also strange. There are absolutely no other lines or hoses, and the hose im trying to attatch is much too far away from this attatchment

    In that last picture, at least on my vehicle, a hose goes from there to the air intake.

    Pretty sure the top pic....1st.......is power steering return hose

    Duralast Power Steering Return Hose 93571


    that water hose in 2nd pic should be water out on the TB/ IAC
    feeds back into ECT 'Y' assembly on back of head

    water loops around from the heater feed tube into egr
    egr to Iac.........then throttle body water out line out into back of head, rejoining the return heater water feed.......all feeding into a big 'T' holding the ect temp sensor bolted on back of head.....

    Wonder why my 2002 doesn't have that newer EVAP canister, thought they went to this one after 2001 or something.

    95/96 they used the round canisters.....

    in 97 they switched to the box one and move two valves to internal of box....

    sometime in 2002 they moved the box from under the hood to back above the tank and started using quick disconnects for the pressurized fuel lines....
    ....instead of double flares

    the rarity of those double flare lines have shot the price of oem replacements between $100 and $250....depending on which hose
