I have no clue what this connects to and I’ve noticed it’s melted a little bit because it was sitting on the back of the engine. Does anyone know where it goes?

Should push down on a stud on your fuel rail.

EVTM claims it's a ground. I've not looked close enough, but I don't recall any of the fuel bolts going to ground though.

Hmm, well I have to say I did notice a strange sucking noise for a few seconds after I’d turn the car off, however it didn’t seem to run rough at all.

Where does the line come from? In my car (98 GT) there is an electrical connector in that location that looks like that and comes directly out of the injector wiring harness (G101 according to a 98 EVTM). I definitely could be mistaken; tracing the line back to its source would confirm that.

It comes straight out of the wiring harness at the back of the engine.( right behind the last ignition coil plug)on the drivers side.

I never noticed it before, but I had to pull the damn Dorman intake on and off 4 times trying to get it to stop leaking.( I guess the sucking noise is more than likely because of it leaking.) Now I’m in the process of a pi swap, but thanks a lot because I really had no clue.

oh I was wrong that wire/hose going into the rubber part is too small to be vacuum, its electrical.....should be something that looks like a screw sticking up somewhere.....it goes on that.

Yup... the factory hardware for the fuel rails (to manifold) have a threaded stud sticking up. Aftermarket hardware might not. I had to refit mine with a different end for a normal screw when I replaced the hardware in order to ground the fuel rail properly.
