There is a hose coming from under the intake it looks to be about 3/8 maybe a bit bigger. But it sits right above the fuel rail and comes out towards the distributor. where is that hose supposed to go? The guy I bought the car from has it blocked off so i wasnt sure if it was supposed to connect to something.

Sounds like you are talking about the hose that goes to the charcoal canister ( Black box looking thing by the passengers side frame rail. If it is you should be able to trace it fairly easily and yes you should have it hooked up.

The Canister takes fuel fumes and recirculates them back into the motor. There should be a fitting on the bottom of the intake the hose attaches to. I have a GT40 intake and it is right above the drives side valve cover. I think it is in the same location on a stock intake.

Some people have removed the canisters and that maybe why it is not connected.

yeah the canister is still hooked up but theres only one hose hooked to it looks like it goes to the gas tank. but i will hook this one up. What is the purpose of the canister does it help the car run better?

It is more of a safety devise than anything else the way I understand it. I have heard that when it is not hooked up that people can smell the gas fumes more.

Here is my understanding of how it works. The canister takes excess fumes from the tank and they are absorbed into the charcoal. Once the engine is running those fumes get drawn from the canister into the engine and burn up.

Yeah, I believe it is for emissions and safety...

On the Performer intake, the hose to the charcoal canister was under the upper on the passenger side of the intake.

Code 42 & 92 (engine running) System rich - Fuel control or (memory) System was rich for 15 seconds or more (no HO2S switching) - Fuel control. Look for leaking injectors, fuel pressure too high, cylinder(s) not firing due to bad ignition.
Code 42 is the RH side sensor,
Code 92 is the LH side sensor.

Testing the O2 sensors
Measuring the O2 sensor voltage at the computer will give you a good idea of how well they are working. You'll have to pull the passenger side kick panel off to gain access to the computer connector. Remove the plastic wiring cover to get to the back side of the wiring. Use a safety pin or paper clip to probe the connections from the rear. The computer pins are 29 (LH O2 with a dark green/pink wire) and 43 (RH O2 with a dark blue/pink wire). Use the ground next to the computer to ground the voltmeter. The O2 sensor voltage should switch between .2-.9 volt at idle.

There is a fuse link for the O2 sensor heater power. According to Ranchero50, it is in the wiring near the passenger side hood hinge. Measuring the voltages will give a clue if it has shorted to the O2 sensor signal lead. The O2 sensor voltage should switch between .2-.9 volt at idle.
