hi guys,

spent all day on the car yesterday cleaning etc and found a vacum pipe hanging down by the passenger side of the engine,
question is were does the bloomin thing go? it joins into 3, 1 bit hangs down by the engine near the pump 1 goes to a switch thing on the fuel filter housing and the other goes to a black box near the air susp pump unit,it also has a small inline filter type thing on it.. any help as it must do something?
cheers,mark

cruise control works fine. it looks like a vacume pipe as its a narrow pipe, it was by the main round engine wiring socket and got a cable tie round it,so defo fell off something,i know its had a new injector pump a few months ago.does that have a pipe like that going to it as 1 end goes to a plug on the top of the filter housing? ive had a fiddle around and cant seem to find anything!

if it goes to the one on the filter (map sensor)the other end goes under the inlet manifold there will be a little pipe sticking out you might need a mirror to find it but it will be there

its the MAP sensor hose as said above, the black box is an analogue power chip, it takes its info from the manifold pressure

SORTED

thanks guys, had another look but could not see it,then got a small mirror and found the dam thing facing down from the manfold in 30 seconds flat.

im now suprised it was running ok if that was to do with the mapping?

thanks again.

its the Manifold Air Pressure (MAP) sensor, nothing to do with the fuel map as such. Should run a lot better now
