4 Vacuum Lines for intake?

Today I put my cold air intake. When I took the only one out there was 4 vacuum lines and 2 sensors. One of them being the mass airflow sensor. What are the 4 vacuum lines for. One of them is for the transmission also. The ittake only came with 4 sports and I need 5 on the 2nd sensor. What does that do? I will try to get a picture of it.

The second sensor is the intake air temp. sensor - you need to keep it plugged in - but it doesn't have to be part of the intake - just wire-tie it nearby.

Pics would help, my 95 has 2 vacuum and a breahter tube from the valve cover, which is not a vacuum line.
That's 3.

Which other ones are you asking about?

2 sensors are the MAFS and the ambient air sensor.

This is from the stickies






Does this hose connect to anything?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...I was under the hood the other day and noticed a hose that is connected to nothing. Is this normal?

Yes this is normal. This hose is a breather hose that points down and is not connected to anything. Have no fear.




The hose is located near the large breather hose on the front valve cover. It appears to connected to the transmission at the bottom. It is a hard rubber hose that has it's open, upper end molded to face downward.
