Hi Pennock members. I am new to this forum site and need some assistance. I just bought a 1988 Fiero GT as a project car for my son and was wondering if anyone can help me figure out where two hoses go? The first hose has an elbow and is coming from the Air Filter Housing and is attached to the fire wall. The second one is also attached to the fire wall and is cracked/missing the hose attached. I have attached photos. Any help is very much appreciated.

Welcome to the forum!

Someone usually asks about this every couple of weeks. The larger tube is discussed Here.

Hopefully that pipe was disconnected from your air filter canister during the recall (and the canister hole plugged), otherwise that uncapped pipe has been allowing outside unfiltered air to enter into the filtered side of your air intake system all these years.



The narrower tube is supposed to be connected with a rubber hose to the EGR solenoid.

Thank you very much Patrick. This is very helpful. The engine is missing many vacuum hoses. I was able to figure out most but these two have been driving me crazy.
