Hey everyone!
I've browsed these forums for a while now, but this is my first post. Love the site!
I bought my 1998 3.0l DOHC ford taurus about a year ago. Got the car from someone who just doesn't take care of their vehicles, but after a few minor repairs (replaced the battery cables/terminals, flushed/changed all fluids, replaced all brake pads/rotors, replaced the front-left quarter panel and headlight, etc.
Ever since then it's always been something little that goes wrong. Not a big deal considering the price I paid (about 700), but now there is something that just has me stumped. While inspecting my EGR system (yeah, typical right. . .) I noticed a red plastic almost transparent line with a cone shaped rubber piece just dangling right below my EGR valve. I traced the line and it appears the line connects to my fuel pressure regulator. I've looked all around for a place to hook the line up to, but I see nothing. I've checked every repair manual I have and every site possible. All of them mention how to remove the line, but never say where the fpr vacuum line hooks up to.
One website I read claims that the line is supposed to remain open. I'm a bit wary of that. .
If anyone out there can help me figure out what the Fuel Pressure Regulator vacuum line hooks up to (preferabbly with some sort of diagram), I would be very thankful.
Attached is a pic of the FPR for reference.
