Vacuum reservoir

[Maverick0007]

I have a problem, I have a little black wire or tube coming off the vacuum reservoir that has broke in half. Does this affect my 92 X at all?

yes.
If the tube is broken you likely have a vacuum leak.
Have you noticed a high idle?
Is it sucking air when the engine is running?
It is best to plug it until you can repair it.

Yep what Jamie said!

What would be the best way to fix it? Using a shrink tube around it?

I would try replacing the whole hose (depending on which one it is), have you looked in your nearest pick and pull?

Shrink tubing should work, just don't know how long it would last but that would be a good band aid till you find a more permanent fix.

Well this is a tube that goes into a wire harness. What should I do then?

I'm confused .

The vacuum line goes into a wiring harness?? That doesn't make sense??

Did you try your heat shrink idea?

I know the vacuum lines run into a manifold (for lack of a better word). I've had to buy new connectors cause mine was sucking up fluid and the connectors were soft and coming off.

No I haven't yet. I can email a picture to show you what I am talking about.

What he is talking about is the vacuum lines t off near the resevoir, one tube goes inside the truck and is used for the HVAC controls.

You need to repair both tubes, they should both be getting engine manifold vacuum, the canister and the line that leads into the interior of the truck, via through the firewall withthe main PCM wiring harness.

Yea what he said.

I will PM you my email address.

Ok, I respliced the hose and secured it with a heavy duty shrink tube, and it appeared to be a vacuum tube for the normal - max a/c problem, I was having. I have that all fixed.
