94 Explorer Vacuum-Line madness (pics inside)

Greetings! I've started learning about my Explorer, and through various DIY repairs, the vacuum lines have become mixed up. I'm following the diagram, but have a few questions. Here's the rundown: Here's the diagram. The items I can't locate are: Brake Booster, A4LD trans, FPRC...

that is the charcoal canister, it stores fuel vapors from the top of the fuel tank until the canister purge valve opens and allows the fumes to be burnt up through the intake manifold. I believe on your 94 this is done from the bottom of the throttle body
Make sure all cracked hoses/elbows/fittings get fixed

Thanks 410 for your reply.
Will do.

Remove this with caution, as the purge solenoid (located directly under the upper intake) to which it is connected is somewhat costly to replace new and manufactured with a bit more brittle type of plastic.

agreed!! the older style like this with the plastic nipples can break easily, new one is $60+

Oooopsss nice tip Childldenticant! I’ve never read about so that is for your point.
I’ll rotate it first, then pull.

or even slice the line so it releases with no effort

Clever 410!

Good advice above. I failed to do that and the nipple on mine completely crumbled

Clever 410!

While plugging the new hose, can I add some fluid to make it slip? Or it’s paranoia

Hey where'd you get a new one? I have mine wrapped in black tape

That should be fine. I'd use water soluble stuff like personal lube myself. They look at you funny when you buy it but it works so good, it's worth it.

i'll try in a pair of "The hose and rubber house" here in my city, when i was overhauling my motorcycle ( bmw K75 1986) i was able to find all the water hoses even with the same shape ( waiting the original ones to arrive) ....6 years later ( this 2022) i swapped to the original ones ( and they were as new) that were in the drawer for so long.
I'll try to find one today , i'll post results

I use vaseline on all hoses like this, vaseline is pure petroleum and will work in all automotive systems

Anyone have a good photo of or guidance on where the vacuum canister purge valve should be physically located? Replaced mine a little bit ago based on CEL and chasing that code, solved the CEL issue but didn’t pay enough attention when removing the old one and the new one does not seem to be positioned in the right location. And I actually broke the first new one installing it so lube, lube, lube….

Thanks

it rests just beneath the upper manifold:

Wow, thank you very much ChildIdenticant for the quick response, much appreciated. I wasn’t too far off…
