    I have a 1994 3.0 VZE, 5-speed Manual, 4WD. The previous owner removed the entire A/C assembly. So I know some vacuum hoses disappeared with that, with all tubes capped off. But, I want to make sure I'm not missing hoses I shouldn't be. I've attached some pics and was hoping you could help me figure out where these are "supposed" to connect to. I've looked at the vacuum hose diagram under the hood and have found a couple more diagrams on the internet, but they have not been helpful for these particular connections.

    I very very much appreciate any help you can give.

    Pic two. A vacuum switch to raise the idle speed when turning. Not sure about the source. Mine's capped as well.
    Pic Three. That port may be where the vacuum for the two solenoids in #4 sources.
    Pic Four. The solenoid closest to the front is V4. Manual says it to keep the front diff in 2 wheel drive. The one closest to the fire wall V5 is for four wheel drive. Right now, I would say your four wheel drive is not working.
    Pic five. That one is kinda funny. Looks like a vacuum port, but I'm pretty sure it Is the supply piping for the front and back wind screen wiper fliud.
    Hope this helps maybe alittle!

    Pic three? there is a plug-in there that should have a connector. That gadget injects fuel for cold weather starts. Kinda like a choke. The wiring for that plug should come out from under the plenum with the hose to the injector. That hose comes from the passenger side fuel rail.
