Vacuum Line Dilemma

I changed out my fuel injectors on a 94 Max SOHC, labeled just about all of the hoses and wires, except one!! A small vacuum line connected to a plastic male on the left rear of the plenum leads to nowhere obvious. Can anyone help.
Thanks

there should be a small "nipple" under your intake manifold, your going to have to like lean over and look down and behind it to see it. But it is there

On left, one goes to heater (15.) valve. On right, one goes to fuel regulator.

No, never found it by the manifold. #15 on the picture is the line I'm referring to but it is not long enough to reach the heater valve attached to the firewall. So, it doesn't seem to go there.

Befuddling!!!

One vac hose HAS to go there...

As far as I know, VG30E intake has one port at LH, one port at RH.

LH is small, goes to heater valve at firewall.

RH is thicker, goes to gas pressure valve at right.

Anyways, manifold vacuum ports have to be closed, otherwise idle is not good.

Ok, I'll try to work it over there again. Seems right though, because the valve does have what appears to be 2 vacuum connections, so somehow it has to reach!

Thanks

Lukiluki the valve:



15. ...........Vacuum line from intake; hose contains small oneway valve.
14. ............Magnetic valve for vacuum control.
14b. ..........Vacuum line link from magnetic valve to vacuum actuator.
14c. ...........Vacuum actuator arm moves the actual water hose (7.) valve.
14d. ...........Inset: (Mechanical) Water Valve is 'hidden' under the assembly.
16. ...........Electronic control wiring from cabin. Note the diode -mark on the connector.

#15 is a very thin hose, it goes almost all the way towards the passenger side of the intake manifiold, where it comes into a small plastic step-up adapter. The other side of the adapter is attached to about 2" long 4mm ID hose, that goes into the pipe on the manifold. I just replaced mine last week so I remember this one. Hope that helps.
