Vacuum line question

[zman1858]

Since I can't get a straight answer on the prior post, I will go this route...I'm putting in new vacuum lines in my 1998 Boxster, Looking at the car from the back end, I know that the black side of the valve goes in the right side of the rubber sleeve or plumens as you might call it and the white side goes to the Y connector. Is there a line the goes into the left side and if it does, where does the other end hook to. Thanks

Does this help?

I have seen that and read for 2 days....the question I need answered and no other is....drum roll please......I know that the black side of the valve goes in the right side of the rubber sleeve or plumens as you might call it and the white side goes to the Y connector. Is there a line the goes into the left side and if it does, where does the other end hook to.......Also, looking at the pic above, is it safe to say that there are only 4 vacuum lines in the car, the 3 off the tee and the single line....A simple answer would be nice since New Years Eve day is the only day I have to fix this

I don't know what you are asking. Can you post a pic? The check valve goes from the intake manifold to the "Y" connector. What are you referring to as the left side of what component? On the above pic the right side of the check valve( item 22) goes to the intake manifold.

You have the rubber boot....one side(passager side) the check valve goes...on the other side(driver side) is another hole.....does a vacuum line go in that hole or is it left empty

The black rubber boot...center of pic.....check valve on one side.....does a vacuum line hook to the other hole on the driver's side....PLEASE INGORE THE YELLOW ARROW AND DON'T POST ASKING IF I'M TAKING ABOUT THE PART THAT THE YELLOW ARROW IS POINTING TO...I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT PART, THAT WILL BE THE THROTTLE BODY...I can't believe how hard it is to get an answer here to a simple question

If the hole in the driver side sleeve is OPEN, there should be a vacuum line connected. Unfortunately i have no 986 of any MY in my immediate surroundings for the moment, but take a look where the lines, coming from the fuel pressure regulators, on the end of the fuel rails go's. The problem is too many differences in MY, car equipments and country's.

Relax. We are trying to help so calm down on the attitude a little. I think RFM has it-check the fuel pressure regulator as it needs to have intake vacuum to operate.

The driver's side sleeve has a vacuum line that runs from it (intake distributor) to the pressure regulator. The pressure regulator is located on the fuel ring pipe that provides fuel to each of your 6 injector valves. The pressure regulator is near the air box where you change your air filter. It is right before the fuel return line.

The pressure regulator can be found in section 24-10 of the Bentley Manual. The manual is less than $100 and a good investment. Rembember you get more bees with honey that you do with vinegar.

Thanks for the answer....I figured it out....I just hate asking a question and getting replies that have nothing to do with the answer....and it was a simple question
