94 Ranger Canister Purge Hose\Throttle Body Question

[johnny71]

Hello all,

I have a 94 Ranger 2.3L. I noticed today after awhile of neglect, that there is a vacuum line that is disconnected near the battery. One end of this hard plastic hose goes to the bottom of the Throttle Body. The other end which ends near the battery is hooked up to nothing.

My Haynes manual defines this hose as the 'Canister Purge Hose'. After some more online searches, there's supposed to be a Canister Purge Valve/Solenoid somewhere near my driver side headlight. Well I can't physically see this brass canister, but I do see another hard plastic hose running to that area, that runs all along the driver side wall that goes into the firewall. I'm totally confused and have no idea where this is supposed to be connected.

Any help would be great. If pictures are needed I can get them.

i have the same truck just finished rebuilding the moter on mine there is a black box right under the battery the line comeing from the TB shoulb be a little bigger than the one coming up from the firewall (actually coming from gas tank correct me if im wrong) but they both connect to the black plastic box under the battery and that box has two round knobs on it that pop off the knos are about 1'' round its some kind of evap system but u cant miss it if its on there the black box is about 3'' to 4'' inches by 6'' to 7'' inches right below the battery up against the radiator support if u need pics i can get some off mine tmrw

Thanks so much for the response! I found that black box, the tube inlet was hidden by some metal and I never saw it!
