QUESTION.
Driver side below the throttle body Does anyone know if the Connector / Tee, belongs on this pipe? I took all kinds of pictures as I was taking it apart but missed this after the throttle body was off...
Seems like it's the only place it can go but it's fighting me. I lubed it with silicone grease inside/outside the pipe and on the O-rings..
anyone?
thank you.

With these cars being around 20 years old, plastic items/connectors can often be fragile and have to be handled with kid gloves............or replaced if available.

So true . That's exactly why I was so concerned when taking the 3-way connector apart . The heat from a heat gun made it flex enough.
And that brake booster connector worked the O-ring and locking pice fit , could not figure out how to get the brass sleeve out so I left it alone.

After 20, 30 mins of looking down and leaning over the motor my right hand starts to buzz,itch,go numb .becomes useless Because of neck injury.
Pisses me off ! I'll just order 2 new ones ...

Hi. CK
Yes it was runing, i drove from where it's been parked for better than 2 years to my house, around 7 miles it was rough. 1st thing I did was a compression and leak down test, that was good no antifreeze in the oil, i did have check engine light/ reduced performance read the codes it had misfire on 7 and 3 if I remember correctly, found those 2 had oil halfway up the spark plug well cleaned that out and the gas in the tank ran better but didn't really smooth out until after I replaced the fuel injectors. One spark plug well would fill up pretty fast and start the misfire again...
So with that I figured I was good... only has 97k on the clock...
Lots of money and time invested already...
Would suck if it was all for nothing...

I didn't know the tensioner was bad only found that when I removed the cam cover to replace the gaskets / seal... because of the leak into sparkplug wells.
I knew brakes and rotors needed to be replaced and maybe calipers. It Sat tooo long.

Same here. .. I like to know before I call the scrap yard to come get it...
l looked up into the motor I don't see anything and I would think there would be alot of metal bits in the pan... I ran a magnet all Thu the pan I didn't pickup anything.
As I said before it does fit into the bottom on the dip stick hole snuggly.. . Kinda like those plugs you would find in a tranny pan. That temporary plug...

Thank you CK..
I been looking at diagrams of the motor ,oil pump and anything else I can find .. Haven't seen anything like that. I'm not sure what you call the pin that holds the piston to the connecting rod.. That's what I thought of 1st. Just before my paints got warm and uncomfortable.
I know ford and volvo uses a hollow pin...
ill keep looking
Thanks again..
