Help with vacuum lines!

Post by casualtiererun »

Looking for the cause of my idle surging and was looking at the brake booster vacuum line and it seemed fine but then I found a missing line from the vacuum tree and a white line running from shroud to manifold (In the pics its just the manifold vacuum nipple), when I connected it to the tree it left a little oil on the tree nipple. I also found a quirky black line that just wasn't connected to anything. Any help is appreciated!

The rubber looks bad in some of your pics, those cracks in the hoses will leak air. I'd consider replacing as many vacuum lines as you can get to, it looks like you have a non-turbo so see viewtopic.php?f=1&t=65002.
