You don't need the vacuum line.
The reason its hot is that the fuel that flows through it just went through the heads. So the fuel is heating it up rather than cooling it off.

I dident know it went through the heads first. The thought it went from the pump to the filters to the fpr. Then to the heads.also I don't understand why that problem went away right after I changed the oil then came back a day later. Was it because the oil was fresh and thick. About how much is a icp from the dealer?

The fuel should go pump, filters, heads, regulator, and then back to the tank. Icp'a can range dealer to dealer but probably around 140 bucks.

It can.if it is bad in the manner of giving a false feedback reading to the pcm.IF you had a method of seeing live data you might see it being incorrect. Otherwise its leaking oil and needs replaced anyway

Well I got my icp in,$200 later. The power range is better now. I bought a scanner this weekend and it's telling me that I need to look at my exhaust back pressure sensor. So I'm gonna clean it and the tube. I'm hoping It helps my boost and also my high egt's.
