I NEED HELP!
i need some help from someone who has a truck identical to mine.
i have a 1995 F-150 with the 5.8L engine.
some of my vacuum lines are not connected and the ones that are may not be in the correct place.
i have searched google relentlessly but have found nothing. i tried looking at the diagram under the hood but its old and barely visible. i looked at my chilton manual for a diagram but cant seem to find one that i can understand.
im having idle issues and also the fuel is burning very rich.
im also having a shifting problem which may or may not be related to my engine problems. but i want to deal with the vacuum lines before i mess with that.
can anyone draw up a detailed diagram or maybe post pictures of their 1995 351. im mainly referring to the tiny red, black, green, peach lines. and a few of the black hoses. they have all deteriorated and been replaces with skinny black tubes. and also im kinda a noob so if you use abbreviation for some parts i may not know what your talking about.

on my truck theres a black hose coming out of the intake manifold, i think it should connect to a part that is kinda hidden under the intake manifold, and this part is connected to the passenger side valve cover. but when i connect it the idle get really rough and then it will eventually stall.

I think the part you are talking about is the PCV valve.
It is not in the above vacuum diagram for some reason.
But is in the color diagram above.
The MAP sensor should be mounted on the safety wall near the heater box.
The PCV Valve may be bad.

The canister purge solenoid ("CANP" in above diagrams) is located somewhere between the PCV valve and the Fuel Vapor Canister ("CARBON CAN" in above diagrams).
Vacuum Reservoir or "VRESER" in the above diagrams.

UPDATE
i changed my TPS and also replaced and re routed the vacuum lines and my engine is running very smooth and its no longer has rich exhaust. so thats all cleared up,
now my second problem. my shift linkage cable was broken, so i replaced that and the truck started up fine, i shift to reverse and it stalls out. now it wont start at all, after i messed with the linkage cable again it started up fine, but this time the shifter wont move at all, it stays in park. but the truck starts fine everytime.
you have any info what could be the problem? MLPS perhaps? or maybe i installed the linkage cable wrong? idk man.

What does the stalk do?
Can you move the stalk down and up?
Does the cable and the leaver on the side of the transmission move when you move the stalk down and up?
Does the pointer in the cluster move when you move the stalk?

The stalk can move up and down. The needle moves very slightly.
I can't tell if the lever on the trans is moving. When I move the key to on position the shifter can shift, kinda stiff but it moves nonetheless.
