I've got a 2003 ranger 2.3 5 speed.
I've taken the intake off in order to replace a couple of things. Now that I'm putting the truck back together, there are a few vacuum lines and varies things that I cannot piece together.

We have this line, which runs off the silver looking bowl. No idea where it goes.


Then, there's these two. I don't know where they go. They are both from the IMRC


Lastly, there's this contraption on the back of the intake, and I can't figure out which line runs to this


Thanks guys.

Silver bowl is the fuel pressure regulator, it just gets straight manifold vacuum. You can't find where it goes because you don't have the intake on yet (or at least that's how it looks in the pic.

The "contraption" appears to be your IMRC actuator, which is a vacuum motor on that engine. Your two IMRC vac lines, one should go to the intake, the other to the vac motor port.

Thanks a million!
I do see on the inside of the manifold where there is another nipple. I suppose that is where the fuel pressure regular goes.
On the IMRC one hose goes out and to the left, another straight down. The one that goes to the left, I put straight up into the intake, correct?
And the 2nd hose, which goes down, I take it back around to the vac motor port?

I believe that is correct. I am not super familiar with the 2.3 IMRC itself, but I know Fords, and that seems to make the most sense to me.

I am 100% certain on the FPR.

Alright, thank you.
Wish I could find some pictures or a diagram. No luck so far.
