What is this?
I was poking around trying to see if i have a vacuum leak.
Between the firewall and the intake i found a pipe dangling. it is metal and about 1" in diameter. It looks like it went into the tailpipe don't know if that is right or not. the other end comes up and then a device is there and has vacuum lines hooked to it.
ANY IDEAS and would this cause my problem of not starting very easily the first time of the day.
My Cats are gone and this may have hooked to them?
any suggestions apprreciated

You also need to remove the vacuum lines and plug them going to the two AIR solenoid valves.

This could also be an exhaust leak into the cab if the holes are not plugged.
The AIR pump can also lock up or put a load on the engine.

You can leave the pump on and use it for an idler if you want.
