1997 840... Fuel Tank Purge Solenoid is located on the front of the engine, passenger side. Has (2) wires going to it and (2) vacuum lines. One line runs to a "T" fitting which has the "in series" line running up to the Throttle body. Where does the other vacuum line go? Mine dry rotted off at the "T" fitting and I can not find a trace of it. If someone would do a backwards blueprint off their car and tell me where it goes I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Rod

C'mon... somebody pop their hood and answer this one for me. If I don't have enough information to locate, please let me know. I've capped the line for now but will lose sleep over it.

I'm not a V8 guy but have you checked the diagrams on realoem???

Yes I did ... 13-15 last view displayed. I "think" that's it, but it doesn't show where the line off the bottom of the "T" terminates. Thanks for taking a shot at it tho, much appreciated.

On my '97 840 the "T" fitting is caped off. This was also dry rotted a few years back causing a vacuum leak.

The cap is #7 in the REALOEM view of FUEL TANK BREATH.VALVE/DISTURB.AIR VALVE components.

Me too! What a pain in the asss it was trying to locate this pesky vacuum leak, even with a smoke machine!


Here's a pic I took...

That's it Bro's, thanks I have a great big smile and will be able to sleep tonight. I was getting the check engine light and code for O2 Sensors, Manifold leak etc... stuff way more expensive than a rubber cap. Found the leak and started scratching my head and my ass trying to figure out what went there.
Yo,
Rod

Thanks Rod for reminding us!

you could also just buy a 2-side barbed connector at Homedepot for $1.50 and connect the two rubber lines, or you can get 1 solid continuous rubber line and get rid of the splice all together...

You guys are great! Item #7 "cap" solves my deliemma. I guess, like many, my cap was just rotted off for some reason. I am curious how that would happen when the rest of my hoses are like new! Like one suggested, to prevent this happening again, I might just eliminate the nipple fitting and replace it with a longer hose from the module to the throttle body.
