Kalgorn Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 And why isn't it hooked up? I noticed it today while one of my roommates was filming videos of my car for a film project he's doing for school. We're making a commercial for the '92 Z34. It should be really good when it's done. We're going to have some voice overs done for it too, try to make it authentic. And hey, I got a free tank of gas out of it. I burned up about 2/3 a tank just today doing this and he filled it up for me a little while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonyman87 Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 thats a vaccum line that sucks gasses out of the valvecovers. There is another one on the back valvecover pointing up. both connect up to the same place on your intake tube. the black plastic elbo on top of your intake tube in the same picture upper right hand corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalgorn Posted December 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Will this cause problems with it not hooked up? This picture is about 10 months old so it's never been connected but I've never run into a problem either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Fury Z Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 i assume since it sucks gas out, it sprays under the hood. i got like a 3-4" hose that connects the plastic line to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalgorn Posted December 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Wow... I just checked someone's Cardomain page to look at an engine pic and I can see what I'm missing. Guess I'll hit up NAPA in the near future and pic one up if I can. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Those fall off all the time on 3.4's. I just used a spark plug boot end I had lying around for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loominaz34 Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Would not having this line hooked up cause a high idle at start-up and rough idle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Might cause a vacuum leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loominaz34 Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Thus causing the above stated problems? I don't want to just go plug it up because I get formal complaints from the village when I work on the car in the driveway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Why? It would take a second to plug it back in, it would probably take all of 30 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuttySup Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Would not having this line hooked up cause a high idle at start-up and rough idle?No, clogged fuel injectors would cause that (for the 1,000th time). Check TSBs. People ask that same question all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't comprehend why people would have a problem with that, unless you start leaving oil stains or something all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loominaz34 Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Yea but they can give me a ticket for that type of shit. And the reason it's going to take longer than 30 seconds is because the boot got rotten and broke off. and in the time it takes me to open the hood and pull the old boot off and put the new one on somebody will be over to bother me.

WhiteMonteZZZ Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 If that's the line i'm thinking of on my DOHC, I just put one of those mini-k&n (ricer) breathers in place of the line and capped the part where they meet by the pcv valve area. No problems in about a year now doing it like that. WMZZZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
