the vacuum lines in this picture, there are 4 of them i believe..err 3, the white one on mine is broken. not sure what its for, i haven't seen any engine irregularities and the car drives fine. but what are they for?
I thought that picture looked familar.
If you can see the break and both ends, just get a small piece of rubber tubing and make the 2 broken ends meet. You only need like a 1 inch peice of it and Auto Zone sells it, or just plug it...Tim
If you can't Duck it, ***** it.
Put a piece of tape on that sucker, just make sure it's lined up good. I had to do this in a pinch and it worked fine, and i havent changed it because i'm lazy and it works..lol

mine were all corroded and crumbled to pieces when i moved them, some small rubber hose slipped over the ends was perfect....

I don't even understand why Ford put PLASTIC vacuum tubing in because the slightest bend and "snap". Who said engineers are smart.
Oh, I have a few broke ones too and no driveability or smog related problems.

same here. we need someone who is really smart and educated in this stuff. i dont have any smog equipment and dont have the egr hooked up. does it matter if these lines are on the car anyways?
What does rubber have a tendency to do under extreme vaccum or pressure? It either caves in or expands. They chose a hard material so that it would do neither under those extreme circumstances.4dStang said:I don't even understand why Ford put PLASTIC vacuum tubing in because the slightest bend and "snap".

Hey guys I just looked at that diagram and noticed that the "S/C" on the brake booster tree controls the cruise control. Well I got rid of mine, but ever since I have had a vacuum whistle. Can I just cap that off? Would that work? Thanks-J
