I noticed this the other day. There is something right behind the alternator that has a nipple on it and it looks like a hose should be on it. But I couldnt find where it would hook up on the other end. It runs perfectly except for every now and then it will die when Im sitting at a light. Here is a pic for you to see what Im talking about.

Actually there is a 4 wire harness which has a green wire that connects to that nipple. I'm sure its there. Follow the line coming off the EGR valve. That's another wire in the 4 wire group.

It looks like a wire with a black vacuum fitting at both ends. The wires (or vacuum lines) are color coated with black, white, green and red. They are all emissions related.

This is all your smog/EGR stuff...see the vac lines at 6:00...3 lines in that group in a wire loom.. 2 plugs on the Right feed up towards the EGR...the one your looking for is on the Left side, see the plug and then a little lenght of vac tube ...you should be able to look around that diverter and see a 3 pronged rubber plug a tad lower than your valve covers.. those lines feed into it....I believe its the White line that feeds the diverter in your pic....I would think the plug that belongs on that would create a vac leak of sorts...Maybe it fell off and its right there somewhere...
