I got my new cruise control can from TFS after discovering this! https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/084717.html
I'm putting an extra coat of paint on it to help keep it from rusting....anyway I'm in the process in removing the toasted plastic one but notice it has only one hose going to it


and the stock can needs two vacuum lines.


I'm guessing that the Y connector in the first pic will have to removed but which hose goes where? I guess I could experiment without damaging anything but wanted to ask here first Thanks for some help.

There are only three vacuum lines at the servo actuator. There are two steel vacuum lines running along the rear firewall of the engine compartment. The upper steel line has a nipple on it at the cruise servo location. Now for the lines. The first line runs from that nipple up to the large nipple on the vacuum canister. The second line runs from the small nipple on the vacuum canister to the lower, smaller nipple on the vacuum servo. The third line runs from the upper, larger nipple on the vacuum servo to the single nipple on the vent solenoid, that's the part with the red electrical connector.

If you look at the two nipples on the passenger side of the vent solenoid you'll see that the lower one is plugged, and there's a metal clip on the upper one. That clip holds a foam filter in place that keeps crap from being sucked into the cruise system and ultimately the engine. That filter is still available from any GM dealer for under a dollar. I suggest that you get one.

Thanks Jazzman! Anyone got the part # of this filter?

Likewise with the 22P!

I believe I found the filter. #20. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

edit: Another question! Could someone check for me and see if this filter gets directly plugged into this nipple or is there another part I'll need that the filter goes into?

on my car (old gokart mobile) there is nothing hooked up to the top nipple.


your talking about that right?

Yes! Thanks I should remember....I had that Fiero under a year ago! Jazzman says and the 22P show a filter being there Does anyone have something here?

It was a small rectangular piece of grey foam like in a cushion and it had a hole in it.

They rotted off early on.

I made one from a piece of foam and stuck on there, just keeps the dust out when the solenoid releases the vacuum when you turn the cruise off or hit the brake.

The GM number (801528) crosses to ACDelco 219-13, available from Parts America (CSK) for $1.59.

EDIT:

Here's how it looks on an 88 coupe (torn on the end):



Price is $0.47 at AC-direct.com, which seems more reasonable:

Thanks for the replies! For that price I think I'll even order 2 of them
edit: Parts America calls it an EGR filter http://www.partsamerica.com...MfrPartNumber=219-13 It's probably the right one but I'll get it through http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/ Just in case.

yea now that i look there is a little bit of foam stuck to the clip on my car, i guess il get one of those too. how bad is it not to have one?

[This message has been edited by Jrgicehc (edited 08-07-2007).]

Does the filter come with the metal clip that retain it?

The filters don't come with the clip. If you are missing yours your have to see if anyone else has a spare one.
