Anybody got a fairly standard early classic ???

Need some help on a missing pipe on a pals car. Its the small vac line that runs from the top of the throttle body, its missing from his car and obviously leaking air. I think it goes down towards the air box or maybe something to do with the dump valve.
Any pics would be great,

Ta.

Hi folks

I'm the pal that's mentioned above.

Here's a pic of said missing pipe



I'm thinking it's got something to do with the dv as I recall on my old scoobs that there was a t piece with 3 pipes going in to it where this one has just the one pipe (blue pipe shown).

Any help greatly appreciated

And thank you Matt

if its the pipe thats circled it goes under the manifold and seems to plug into something down by the other circle. sorry cant be more specific as the weather,s rotten and its not easy to see lol

The T piece would be added in to run a dv, if all your vacuum's are connected bar that 1 just block it off, some cars have unused lines so just block it up to keep it in vacuum.

Sorry can't help with the location of them, not had alot to do with the early classics, maybe post up a pic of the complete engine, chances are that blue pipe would have been to a bov as its been changed, so is the car running one and if so is it connected to a vac line?

Edit :- I see what your referring to now I assumed you was talking about the blue pipe , block it off for now until you find its correct position.

What pipe is missing then? One of the ones beside the blue hose in your pic? If it's the one beside the throttle body then there should be a hose on there as in the circled foto I put up.

Yeah its in the top circle where the pipe is missing (as you will see by my pic) but as to where it should go is the mystery bit atm.

Oh and the bit about the pic throwing me wasn't aimed at your pic

The only pipe i can see missing in the pic, apart from the dv pipes is off the top of the throttle.. Is that the one your referring to?

Sorry should have added on the photo ( which i shamelessly stole) not to go by the hand, that's for something different..lol

Yepp the one missing off the top is the culprit

easy-does-it

So look at the pic i posted, it's the manifold from the other side.. now like yabbadoo's pic, follow the top black pipe from the throttle to the hard pipe that runs under the manifold..happy days..lol

I`m 90% sure the pipe your missing goes to the fuel pressure regulator which sits just in front of the airbox, on top of the engine, from my poor memory you need to remove air box for easy access

good luck LOL

The pipe thats missing should go from the throttle body to over by the boost solenoid, iirc theres a one way valve in the middle of the pipe, ill check my 94 wagon tomorrow for you and let you know

the pipe goes to the charcoal cannister

This.

Although actually it goes to a valve situated under the inlet manifold, which is then connected to the charcoal cannister.

Do some of the people posting on this thread actually know where things are on their cars?

FPR is at the end of the fuel rail, rather close to the turbo, not in front of the air box, for example.

exactly as above, Charcoal Canister link.....................

the FPR on classics is just in front of the turbo at the rear of the drivers side manifold

Err, it is in front of the airbox if you look at the air box from the drivers side wing ! i wasnt describing exactly where it was, im not that ****, i expect people to look for themselves, but if i had said its in front of the fuel filter then yes, that would be misleading !

And only the UK models have the valve to purge the canister, if the O/P car is an import, it doesnt have that valve, so pah to you LOL
