Hi, the vacuum line to the air cleaner usually tees into the PCV hose from the valve cover. Black smoke at startup is probably unrelated. That may be caused by leaky injectors or an evap purge valve that is stuck open.

My 1997 ford ranger a/c dash vents won't blow

Vacuum supply starts on the drivers side of the engine. There is a vacuum line going into the brake vacuum assist from the manifold. branching off of that line is a double line that snakes under the intake manifold, behind the valve cover, along side the valve cover on the passenger side headed to the front of the engine. Then it curves to the right side of the engine. One set of hoses from this line goes to a valve control (red and green i think). The other line goes to the vacuum storage ball, it should be black. The vacuum circuit continues out of the ball in another black line that snakes into the firewall. It goes under the heater core black box and disappears under it. Now go into the passenger compartment and drop the glovebox. look to the back right you will see a black and a white vacuum line coming out of the firewall. The black line is your vacuum supply from the engine. It goes up to a little rubber manifold. disconnect the lines coming from the dash switch and check for vacuum on the manifold where the black line is going in. The white line controls the cabin air intake under the glovebox and the thermostat shutoff under the hood. It should only have vacuum when the switch is in a certian position, AC probly. The other three lines coming off the rubber manifold snake behind the dash vent door assemble and come out near the gas peddle. The red one controls the dash vent. apply vacuum to the red hose and see if the vents go to the center dash position/AC. The yellow and blue? ones control the floor vent control near the gas peddle. yellow gives you half floor and half defrost. blue gives you all floor. you can use a small vacuum line to connect the black vacuum supply to each individual line on the manifold and check the function of each vacuum control assembly individually. I hope this helps. On my truck each control unit works fine when i apply vacuum to them individually but when I hook the dash switch up to the rubber manifold it goes to defrost. I tried changing the dash switch and the lines running from the switch to the rubber manifold and the vacuum ball under the hood, nothing works. I suspect I may have leak i just haven't found yet. next step is to get a vacuum gage and start checking the amount of vacuum i am getting at each vacuum line. I'm sure it is supposed to be getting a specific amount of vacuum and will not work if the vacuum drops below a certian level due to a leak in a line somewhere? God bless.

Where is the carburator on the 1995 chrysler lebaron? The car has gas and turns over but won't start.

This wouldn't have a car if it's this new I don't believe. It likely has a throttle body fuel injection. If you have an air filter and filter housing on the top of the motor, than it's directly under it. If you have the type with a box air cleaner not on motor, then you have multi-port fuel injection and don't have carb or throttle body

I dont know how to replace vaccum hose lines on 89 lebaron

Answer is pretty straight forward. For hoses that are not special shaped or high temperture, you can get as much vacuum hose tubing of the sizes you need and cut it to length. e.g. if you need 3 hoses 10", 12" 16" you can get 40" of hose (although it is normally sold by the foot so you would end up with 48").

Special hoses can be bought from either a parts store (if they need replacing regularly) or the dealer.

The air cond. only blows out from the defroster vents. the heater is the same way. its on a chrysler lebaron, 1995. was told it was a relay, but don''t Know where it is located.

Its more likely the blower door actuator which directs air from defrost to vent to floor. This is vacuum driven and a leak in the vacuum lines (located under the hood beginning at the firewall) will prevent the the door from directing air where you select. Look under the hood for a vacuum leak. Best ot test it with the AC or Heat on high.

92 Chrysler Lebaron Intake, MAF Sensor? Need Help.

Best to leave it alone. You don't want to ******** your computer. I put a different filter on my '89 Ranger, but it fit right on, and there weren't any other hoses to worry about. Get a nice old pickup and soup that up.
