Hi all, just got my 96 993 cab. It’s cold here in Boston, but still trying to get some garage time, and fix up a few things.

I started to tackle the deck lid struts, I started on the easiest one on the left side. While finishing it up, and trying to get my lump hands to put the rear pin back in, I worked loose a pipe on the left side of the engine, and I can’t figure out where it connects back to. My heart sank when I heard it disconnect with a short rushing of air coming out. It’s a very narrow pipe and I’ve no idea what is is.

Hopefully the pics will help. Thanks everyone!

 

Probably a vacuum line if you heard a rush of air. I had many situations like this when I took off and reinstalled my intake. Sometimes you just need to get a good light in there and look around until you figure out where it connected.

 

I believe it goes in to the rubber "L" grommet...

 

Thanks guys. That looks like it. I now know what I’m feeling for when I have my hands round there!!
