and I can't figure out where it's at.

it's somewhere near the intake manifold and it's to the point the car will idle really bad then die.

any help?

If you're positive its a vacuum check the big line to the brake booster the one is a huge vacuum leak if it gets a hole. check your throttle body bolts. You can use a flamable gas like propane is the safest but starting fluid will work and spray around areas. Your car will accel a little i mean rpm will rise that should point you in the right direction.

Take a look at the large hose going to the center of the backside of the intake manifold. I'm not sure if that's the PCV hose? But anyway I was looking at one last night that was basically collapsed, it's a common problem.

 

[Stooge]

that should be the brake booster line. PCV comes right out of the valve cover on the back or right side of it. Not exactly sure but its there. The one from the intake manifold is the Brake Booster, it will go from there to a drum or pan lookings thing just below the brake master cylinder.

Whatever it is, if you go about halfway down the intake manifold it's there a little toward the driver side of the car. The hose will usually collapse at the last bend into the manifold when the car is running. I think there is possibly a new revision of the line but you would have to ask Mike or someone else about that.

ok...brake booster line...I snapped a mount the motor twisted and put a whole in the power steering hose. I also have no brakes now. is that from the PS hose?

 

[Stooge]

no thats the brake booster....feel around the back of your intake manifold you'll feel that hose then you can see it and see if its got a leak or if its not connected. The is the exact reason you don't have brakes. I know my car has a vacuum brake booster. should be the same on yours, if anyone knows any different please post here....but like i said im pretty positive your car is the same.

[Trey]

so it's my brake booster?

 

[Stooge]

probably the line going to it. Most likely not your booster itself just the line that goes from manifold to the booster.
