I need some help with vacuum routing

TampaSport20 · Sep 30, 2005

I need someone with a 99-00 to help me out and look in their engine bay

on the passenger side of the engine bay, there is a valve just beside the intake manifold with 3 vacuum connections.....one connection goes straight to the intake manifold, one goes to the fuel pressure regulator, and the third one points straight back to firewall and mine doesnt have anything connected, although you can tell by it's condition something was...i couldnt find any loose hoses, so where does it go ?????

VTCS= Variable Tumble Control System it helps lower emissions when the car is warming up.....

Yours is a California model, thus it must meet california emissions standards which are lower than most of the nation

according to the FSM, one box there is the VTCS solonoid, and the other is the PRC solonoid....

ask the 2.0L guys about VTCS..it sucks ass

It only came on California models of 1.6L's....because even without it the 1.6L was already a ULEV(ultra low emissions vehicle)

So the solonoid you have there that is connected to the intake manifold and fuel regulator, where's the 3rd line go ???

Yeah, stupid cali emissions.
One goes to the fuel reg, one intake, the third goes under the manifold. Let me check it again and get a better look. Be back in a few minutes.
