When removing the plenum on my 2.6 (long-beak plenum), I noticed a thin vacuum line that goes from the fuel pressure regulator at the back of the injector rail all the way to the throttle boy at the front, and connect to the underside of the throttle body though a small 90 degrees bent rubber hose. The vacuum line runs right inside the injector rail to the right-hand side of it.
I did not notice any reference to it in the vacuum pipes FAQ, so I was wondering if this is a 2.6/3.2 only thing…?
The reason I am asking is that oddly this line seems to short… when I put the plenum back, it was a couple of mm short and did not reach the rubber bent hose, even though it has a short run and goes in a straight line. What I ended up doing was release the throttle body while the plenum was in place, tilt the top towards me, fit the vacuum line on the bent rubber hose, tilt the throttle body back in place and tighten the bolts… it seems to work but the vacuum line is stretched and only has about 1mm inserted in the rubber hose.
The options seem to be either replace the line with a longer one, or get a slightly longer rubber hose…
Just wondering - has anyone had this problem? Does anyone know what will I notice if the vacuum line falls out?
