I wanted to ask a quick question, there is an emissions hose that comes off the upper intake manifold and goes to the Vapor Management Valve. It has a funny connector on one end. When removing the upper intake, it needs to be disconnected. Its pretty dry rotted and I want to replace it.I have looked online but I cant find it, I must be calling it something different?

Go the Parts Dept. of your local Ford dealer, they can look it up on the computer and print out all kinds of wonderful information for ya.

So you are saying, I really dont need to worry about it anyway? The car seems to run beautifully now..

I just need to get rid of the airbag light and the Low Coolant light. The Low coolant light I either replace the recovery tank (abt $50) or disconnect the sensor. Im told for my Airbag light, it is a code 46 which is a connector under the drivers seat. I looked at the connector under the passenger seat and couldnt see how it came apart. It was yellow.. I havent looked under the drivers seat yet, is it the same kind? Any tips on how to pull it apart?

As far as I can tell, id have to get a whole new coolant tank (sensor attached). I may do that in the spring, but for now the light it annoying and Id rather just disconnect the sensor. Is it hard to disconnect?
