    Just changed rear valve cover and I'm putting everything back on. Right above the valve cover and in between the tranny dipstick n the engine lift bracket are 2 electric connectors. But I have no idea what they are for. I just know they go there. What are they for? And also, on the bottom of the connector there is some type of vacuum line or something. But one of the "line" is missing. Where does it go?
    Can anyone help?

    one of them is probably for the o2 sensor. vacuum line is probably for the evap purge solenoid.

    Without pictures, too hard to say.

    Many vehicles are wired for emission equipment that are for Cali cars, yours could be one of them.

    you got the map, map has the vac nipple on the bottom. it goes to the t under the snout. evap, and o2 plug, the egr plug is off to the side a bit more, none will fit where they dont belong, nor do they plug into anything thats not in its reach.

    most cars have a loose plug or 3 floating around, you can tell it goes no where cause the end is filthy dirty, unlike one thats been plugged in its whole life.

    I've been trying to upload pictures but it doesn't work. I followed the instructions on the sticky post about using photo bucket but nothing... Idk if its because I'm using a tablet.

    Yes scottydoggs! One of them has a line that goes under the snout but what about the other? The line isn't there. Where does it go to?

    04 up, one of them sensors gets the vac line, the other gets nothing on its nipple. the vac line will only reach so far.

    i dont see a spare plug.

    Ohh OK!! Thanks for the help!

    So just wondering, the one without the line, its just an extra? Could I connect the line to either one or does of go to a specific one?

    one is a map get the line, the other is a baro, its nipple is to be left open. pretty sure the vac line goes on the one near the alt.
