Needing help with a vacuum line

[bossfrog]

I have a 98 Ranger 3.0L, 5-speed, 4x4 that we just rebuilt the engine for. We are getting it back together and cannot figure out where one last vacuum line goes. It is about 18" long with a T connector at one end and an L connector at the other with a slight S curve along its length. I have a picture that I will attach. If anyone can help, we'd appreciate it!

I've got a 98 2.5L and it looks similiar to a hose I have coming off of the intake manifold.

Hmm. Not sure if that will apply to a 3.0L but I'll take a look....

.... I don't see anything there.

Looks like the line from the purge canister. That usually goes from a fuel input to the canister that is mounted on the front of the frame near the rad. The line then feeds out of the purge canister to the fuel tank.

First check to see if you have a purge canister...then check that it has one line from the engine and one running to the fuel tank. The one going to the tank is about ten feet long so it probably connects about the firewall...

It is under the air box? I see two vac lines coming out of a component under the air box near the frame.

Not sure where they put them on your truck, but mine was on the driver side right by the rad...I know they swapped things around for various years so it might be under the air box on yours...or that could be lines for a sensor on the air box...not sure...you may have to take it apart and have a look...but if there are two lines running from it that is probably NOT where the line goes...there usually is only two lines...one is a quite a bit wider on mine than the one that goes to the tank...

Are you sure it's not just an extra part?
