hey i was wondering where this vacuum hose on my 97gt 2.2 intake was suppose to go? when i got the car it had a line connected to it but it went to nothing..

it has a negative air flow so it is sucking air... should i just cap it off?



i looked over this diagram but it doesnt show it even being there...



thanks for any help

just did a compression test.. the shop manual says its suppose to be 178.. but mine came out to be 180-190-190-190
so im guessing no blown head gasket or rings smile.gif but still oil in 2 and 4.. even after i replaced the valve cover gasket and the spark plug tube gaskets..

any ideas?
thanks

ya the car still runs fine for the most part.. it just has a puff of blue smoke on start up then clears right up..

thanks for the tips.. ill double check on if it was just from in the tubes tomorrow, i just remember when i pulled plug 4 it was actually DRIPPING oil frown.gif

im hoping that its just a valve cover gasket.. not a head gasket or the valves or rings frown.gif dont wanna rebuild the motor just yet as i dont have the money..

so the other day i pulled the plugs out of my 1997 celica's 5s-fe and looked at them and found some oil on the one in cylinder 2 kindasad.gif and ALOT of oil on the one in cylinder 4 frown.gif

im wondering what possible causes there are for oil to be in only cylinder 2 and 4 ..
