Air/vacuum line on intake unplugged

There is an air or vacuum line on the intake manifold that has come loose from the other end. I don't know where it connects to (the opposite end of the hose from the intake) it has a green 90 degree angled connector at the end of it. the car is running very rough at idle, and I think this is why

The "light green" vacuum line on my '98 DOHC engine Taurus is on the EGR valve.

I need a vacuum line diagram fo a 1996 Chevy Lumina, 3.1. One line that is not connected to anything, is located at the top of the engine.

Sorry I don't have the diagram, but I do have a diagram of the engine and component locations. Your vacuum system is fairly simple. You have a MAP sensor attached to the air cleaner. I have pasted a picture below. It has one electrical connector and one vacuum hose that goes to the intake manifold or the throttle body.
Behind the right headlight is your evap canister. This will have a hose or line running to the fuel tank. Then it will have another hose going to the purge valve. The purge valve should be close by and it has a connector plus another hose that goes to the intake manifold.
Then you have the PCV hose that goes from the PCV valve in the valve cover to the air cleaner or intake manifold. I think yours just has a hose from the air cleaner and the rest is internal.
There is one more vacuum hose, and that is the bog one that goes from the intake manifold (or throttle body--looks to me like there are a couple of vacuum ports on the back side of the throttle body, and there may be a "T" on one of the hoses) to the brake booster. It this one was off, the engine would not run, as the vacuum draw is large. Please let me know if you cannot figure it out from these instructions and provide a picture, if you can.

I think you have an air leak, a vacuum line loose, or possible intake manifold gasket leaking, maybe your big air intake hose is leaking. spray carb cleaner or soapy water around mating surface of intake and on vacuum lines and connections. If idle changes, there is your leak. good luck.

I took my 02 envoy to get checked an the machine said i had a leak in the vaccum pipeline what does it sound like i need to do

The age of your vehicle guarantee's a vacuum leak. It may sound silly but the truth is rubber grommets and hose's shrink and dry out over time and the harsh environment under the hood makes it worse. Check all vacuum lines and fittings attached to the intake manifold, valve covers(pcv valve), and be sure to check for a vacuum fitting on top of the intake just behind the throttle body. Does it fit tight in the hole? You can seal loose fittings with a high-temp RTV (Red) silicone sealant/adhesive. Several small leaks add up and your engine, heat/AC, will be all to glad to tell you about it.

Check the vacuum line under and in front of the throttle body...with engine idling. It is located under where the air filter snorkel attaches to the engine. Then check all vacuum lines at the intake manifold. Check vacuum lines at distribution block on firewall and check the large brake booster vacuum line from one end to the other. You'll find it!

1998 saturn st wagon . engine code 0449

Computer is not getting current through the purge valve/solenoid. Check connection to valve. If good, you can either test the valve to see if it's bad (requires special equipment) or just replace the valve. Instructions for both are pasted below. The cost of the part is $40. Let me know if you have more questions.


COMPONENT TESTING Carefully check for cracks or leaks in the vacuum lines or in the canister itself. The lines and fittings can be reached without removing the canister. Cracks or leaks in the system may cause poor idle, stalling, poor driveability, fuel loss or a fuel vapor odor.
Vapor odor and fuel loss may also be caused by: fuel leaking from the lines, tank or injectors, loose, disconnected or kinked lines, or an improperly seated air cleaner and gasket.
If the system passes the visual inspection and a problem is still suspected, proceed as follows:

  1. With the ignition switch in the OFF position, unplug the electrical connector from the canister purge solenoid. Use an ohmmeter to check the solenoid coil resistance; it should be 19-31 ohms.
  2. Turn the ignition switch ON then, disconnect the vacuum line from the intake manifold and connect a hand vacuum pump to the valve.
  3. Apply a vacuum of about 10 in. Hg (34 kPa) to the hose and solenoid, then observe if the valve holds the vacuum. If the valve does not hold, apply vacuum directly to the solenoid to determine if the solenoid or hose is at fault, then replace the component which allowed vacuum to release.
  4. If the vacuum holds in the initial test, jumper the test terminals on the ALDL (terminals A and B are the test terminals and are the two uppermost right terminals of the ALDL connector), and observe if the valve activates, releasing the vacuum. If the valve does not activate and release the vacuum, replace the solenoid.


REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
Canister Purge Solenoid Valve
See Figure 2
The purge solenoid valve is mounted on the engine, towards the rear and below the intake manifold.

  1. As an added safety precaution, you may wish to disable the air bag(s), if equipped. refer to Chassis Electrical for the air bag disabling procedure.
  2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  3. Remove the air cleaner/intake tube assembly.
For DOHC engines, the solenoid can be reached through the access hole located next to the intake manifold support bracket.
  1. Unplug the solenoid vacuum hoses and electrical connector.
  2. Remove the attaching bolt, then remove the canister purge solenoid.

To install:
  1. Install the solenoid and tighten the retaining bolt to 19 ft. lbs. (25 Nm).
  2. Connect the vacuum lines to the solenoid, then install and push in the electrical connector until it clicks firmly into place.
  3. Install the air cleaner/intake tube assembly.
  4. Connect the negative battery cable.
  5. If necessary, enable the air bag(s). refer to Chassis Electrical .

Blower motor working on all 4 speeds but air only circulates through the defrost. No air circulation at floor or top vent outlets.

No vacuum to switch. The system uses vacuum from the intake manifold to operate the various vent doors. Look under the hood for the small vacuum line that goes into the firewall near the A/C lines--there may be some other ones there a different color, but only one--usually black--goes to the intake manifold vacuum port. Make sure it's hooked up and not leaking there. If that's OK, see if you can get behind the control switch in the cabin. The line may have come loose there, or perhaps your switch is leaking there.

I have a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The operation of the manual Climate control no longer allows me to select which vent I want air, center, floor, and defrost. I only get air out of the defrost vents.

This system uses vacuum from the engine intake manifold to steer the vacuum actuator of the mode door. Fail safe position is defrost. Most of the time problem is caused by a loose vacuum line at the manifold or a shaved trough line somewhere under the hood. The line runs on the LH side off the engine (as seen from drivers position) starting on the intake manifold.
