ttt i need help pleease

There's been plenty of posts with all of the vacuum line layouts with pics. There's also the online shop manual to point out the EGR. It's also a good idea to get registered on Probetalk since they have a much larger membership with much more resource data archived. Do you not own a hard copy shop manual or at least a Haynes or Chilton manual of some sort. I would never attempt any serious undertaking like that without a shop manual.



BTW, this pic was posed as to inquiring if it was one of the VRIS solenoids. It's not, it's the FPR solenoid.

thanks j-beef. Yah i caught that as well...

I do have a shop manual on hand. I suppose i just need to chill out and really consentrate on it, i'm trying to become more familiar with intake manifolds, so it's kind of a crash course for me. I also printed out a millenia vacume diagram, as well as the mx-6 and mx-3 ones. If i do encounter a problem, i'll take a pic and post it up.

There we go.....good stuff. You've got all the ammunition you need then. You're absolutely right about doing printout of the vaccum layout. I did that myself for the Millennia, MX6 and MX3. Then putting them all side by each and slowly tracing all of the routings of each layout. After a while you'll notice a lot of common connection points between the different applications but more important you'll discover the big picture as to why all of them are configured the way that they are. Once that point is achieved, it will be second nature to know where what vaccum lines SHOULD go where. It makes it much easier when crossing the differences between a ZE engine with an MX3 wiring harness and ancilliary attachments that need to be married together for a smooth and effective running engine. You're on the right track.
