Vacuum connections on throttle body

Post by Bhart »

It seems that I have not kept adequate notes on the disassembly of my M6. I have studied my picture files but have no documentation on the second connection to the center vacuum block that on the top side of the central throttle body - opposite the fuel pressure regulator vacuum connection port.

Have a look at my notes on the pictures please and tell me I'm close.

The ??? one is what goes to the interior temperature sensor. It connects to a semi-rigid nylon line that goes through the firewall and then to a short rubber tube that goes to the sensor under the dash, behind the lower dash panel.

Found it! Hiding behind the wiring harness. Much appreciated.
