EVAP Solenoid Lines

I'm putting my motor back together and can't remember a few specifics.

On the passenger side "fuel rail" area, there is an EVAP solenoid between cylinders 4 and 6. A few inches in front of that, there is a secondary solenoid with two ports. One port (top port) goes to a hard plastic line that is bundled with the fuel lines over on the drivers side, does anyone know where the 2nd (bottom) port goes? I don't have any left over lines, and no idea where that is supposed to connect to either.

Thanks in advance,
Chris

Re: EVAP Solenoid Lines

One is the solenoid, the other is the vacuum detection switch (what you are calling the secondary solenoid) that was added with OBD-II. Shoebox has a diagram:

The vacuum detection switch has a vent hose that doesn't connect to anything.

Make sure you get the correct line on the correct solenoid connection, or you will end up with code P1441.

Thanks Fred,

I can't find/didn't find that link off of Shoebox's site, I've been using it extensively as I go, and the only related link I could find was this one: http://shbox.com/1/evap_sol.jpg

Regardless, thanks again! I was meticulous about bagging/labelling everything that came off the motor, so much so that I was very surprised that I couldn't find any hose to hook up to that lower vent hose. Guess it makes sense now though as there is no hose to hook up!
