Being my first time removing the engine, I consider a success that I only forgot to disconnect (and brake) two things. Back-up cable connector (cable pulled and broke connector,..and the air ducts (thin hoses)on the admisson.

I got all the parts again, but i can not figure out how to connect the different hoses. COULD anyone take a picture of how they are connected?

As you see I took one for reference, before taking it out, but some part is hiding.

BTW, ifanyone need pictures of any engine component, tansmisson, etc, let me know.

thanks again

AFAIK, that three-armed link is just a link - it doesn't matter which vacuum hose goes into which arm of it.

yes. i know but my question is where to connect each hose.

Probably I should have said this before, the part with the red tap (or button) also broke, and all piece are disconnected not only the 3-arm link.

So i need to follow the connections from the three-arm link throgh where they need to be connected.

For the one in the back (going up), no problem.
Then, it seem that one of the other hoses goes from the 3-arm link to the piece with the red tap. ??
And the third???

Thanks

If you need more detail let me know and I will take a new photo, I had this photo from '02 sitting on my hard drive.

Dear JasonAndreas,

Thanks a lot!...I don't want to abuse but would it be possible for you to take a close up picture of that area. in order to see where all the hoses go. From you picture I solve one part which is where to connect the plactic white&black piece (sorry not Idea what it is).

Thanks again,

JasonAndreas

Abuse would be asking me to align your flywheel reference sensor with the engine still in the car using nothing but extra long feeler blades...
