The vacuum lines are always the biggest PITA when you swap an engine or do a head gasket. The vacuum diagram is often on a sticker under the hood of your car but we have pictures in the repair database.

If you are asking about the line to the BOV then it goes to the intake manifold.

I'm having trouble with locating where to put the other end of the red line from that diagram. I know it goes on the intake manifold somewhere, but I'm not sure which port.

It should be one of the two barbs on the bottom of the throttle body if memory serves.

There have been many vacuum hose threads. Mostly factory sticker diagram, which is OK but does not tell people exactly where things are connected.

Perhaps it is time we as a group put together a thread on vacuum hoses using real life photos and drawings with arrows showing where these hoses go.

If you can wait, then I can take some photos tomorrow and post them.

As promised, I just spent 1h putting together some photos.

Why do you guys pull vacuum lines to get the head off and on?
