...under the hood.

Yeah I'm kind of embarrassed to be asking such noob questions but I really want to know.

This hose goes from in the little opening between the upper and lower intake. Connection on the left side of it. Then there's that cylinder with a hose going nowhere... where does it go?

The cable from this thing goes to the fuel tank. What does it do? Should something be connected to that little tube?

Should anything be connected to this tube on the throttle cable assembly?

I have no idea what this thing is but it made life a pain in the ass when I was replacing header bolts -___- As you can see I got so frustrated that I had no desire to install the lockwires...

Thanks a lot!

The first is for the smog pump. I believe it connects to the back. I can't remember since any mustang I have I yank that crap off. If you don't need to pass emmissions then remove the smog stuff.

Your right about the second pic. That's a line that brings fumes from the tank to that charcoal canister. It should be plugged in

the third is your cruise cable. It's just a cable and doesn't need a plug.

The 4th Is part of the smog stuff. It should route to behind the heads and down to your exhaust pipe. It kinda hard to see on the pics on my phone.

Sorry connect to the back of the smog pump. Damn phone.

the first pic, iirc that hose goes to the second port on the charcoal canister (second pic). its job is to filter and then destroy the excess gas fumes from the tank. last pic should have a couple more hoses and a valve before heading to the air (smog) pump. this diagram should be able to help out with how its all works together.

Correct. First line goes to that open port on your charcoal canister. Someone has modified it thought. The solenoid connects to the wiring harness but you need to extend the vacuum line down to reach the canister.

It also appears your smog pump is missing some of it's hoses and valves

If you don't have emissions in your state, throw all that stuff in the garbage. Then remove the smog pump and install a shorter belt.

I think he's from Cali. Prob in his better interest to get it hooked back up

My bad....I didn 't even look to see his location is LA. I'm glad we don't have to worry about that crap in FL.

On the diagram is says the gas fumes canister goes connected to the little valve and then to the manifold vaccum at throttle body. Is that correct? I thought it was supposed to go under the upper intake?

Mustang5L5 · May 9, 2010

It does. Installs it the way it is now, but remove that fuel hose and vac line and just run a longer vac line under intake to the solenoid so it can reach the canister

what he said. basically, intake vacuum sucks up fumes from the canister when that valve is open, and all the vac. ports are on the underside of the intake. it looks like, at one point in time, someone tried to delete all the smog and emissions stuff and utterly failed at it. i may have some pics online of how it all goes together, ill see if i can find em, or at least take some new ones.

Yes please if you can do that I would greatly appreciate it! I'm a visual learner

alright, better late than never:

the first valve on the left has another hose on the bottom that goes to the cats under the car.

you can just barely see it there (its hard to get angles on this stuff, especially in shadow)

charcoal canister, the line at the "top" side of the image is what feeds to under the intake, its about 3-4 feet long total.
you can just BARELY see where the other hose goes to the air (smog) pump.
