- 1997 XLT V8
Hi,
I have a 1997 Ford Explorer XLT V8 5.0.
I have been going crazy trying to find the location of my vacuum leak. I discovered it today and WTF. I bought my truck used and could not believe what I found. The sound was coming from a 3 inch piece of burnt hose with a bolt screwed into the end of it. (Drivers side running along intake side) I removed it, but now don't exactly know where to reattach a new hose. I've included two photos here. One of the place where it was connected and the other is the actual piece of crap I pulled off of it.
I know I obviously have to attach the new hose to this connection, but where does the other end go?
I'm trying to get it fixed today so if anyone can provide the answer quick, that would be great. A picture of where to connect the other end would be even better.
Thanks.
