I spent last Saturday cleaning out the breathers and Air Idle Control Valve on my V6 but have a couple of questions: I have noticed a drop in mpg since completing this task (used to get between 19 - 20mpg around town, now getting 17mpg, i have checked all the vacum pipes and all seem to be in place and connected correctly. Secondly i came across a rubber hose about 10mm in diameter at the back of the engine which appears to connect to nothing. It comes up the rear of the engine just inside the air box that the breathers conect to and just rests under the scuttle. I dont recall disconnecting this hose from anywhere!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :-/

Hides under the DIS pack on mine...guess who only found out when changing his engine! wondered why it was a bit reluctant to come out..

Thanks for the reply regarding the spare hose. Does anyone have an idea why my mpg has fallen so much since i cleaned out the breathers and Air idle control valve? It's fallen to 16mpg today! this is 3-4mpg less than before. As i mentioned before all vacuum hoses etc are connected. Will do paperclip test and post results.
Have i done something wrong or is this normal? :-[
