vacuum leak

there are 3 lines that go into the coffee can,

red black and yellow

the end of the yellow one is broke off and I can't tell where it was supposed to go... but it's in the same loom as the other 2..

I'm sure it's the cause of my high idle problem....
any help guys?

I can't help you from memory but neither can anyone else without you telling us what year, engine size etc... you have. Put this info in your signature and you won't have to worry about it any longer.

vacuum leak

I just looked at an online vac diagram for my '92 and it only shows 2 lines- one for manifold vacuum and the other goes to the EGR regulator. And it was in black & white, w/no color codes.
I'd go look at my rig, but it's dark outside. If I remember in the morning (I probably won't, so remind me) I'll report back.

My 92 only has a black and a red to the "coffee can". Its only a 302 but that shouldn't matter I don't think.

Yellow goes to the diverter valve (the bulky black plastic one); not the reservoir.
