fuel reg. and damper vac line install?
I drove the GTS yesterday and noticed a slightly higher idle and not quite as smooth as Id expect (intake refresh this winter).
Poking around I found with great dismay the vacuum line off the throttle body to the fuel reg and dampers disconnected from the t.body.
Is there a way to re-attach without lifting the intake again? I sure hope so

Yes. It's possible. Pull the airbox and MAS and get out your inspection mirror and needle nose pliers.

Thats the hose, that if i were in there again, Id glue a LONG hose onto those fittings, so I had the room to secure them for handling or mistakes, in an easier place to repair again later.

FWIW surprisingly its quite easy to replace that line if the hood is removed.
Or you you can find a 10 year old to put them on top of the engine and they can see the port while laying on the intake.

I put a bunch of towels down over the intake, radiator and ignition stages, then lie on top of the motor.
You will need a mirror and a flashlight along with your needle nose pliers.
That connection is the one on the bottom of the throttle body. You should be able to get to it.
I just did this job over the weekend to reconnect the connection on TOP (between the intake and throttle body). I pulled the intake. Ugh.

The air pump diverter valve is connected to the port on the bottom. The connector Malcolm needs to reconnect is the firewall-pointing port on top of the throttle body.
That leaves the front-pointing port that connects to the tank vent diverter.
