    Default vacuum gauge

    where should the vacuum line from the gauge go to?
    ive tryed the thicker vacuum line running along the firewall
    it was wrong.
    and i just tryed one of the 2 lines running from the throttle body to the charcoal canister.
    anyone know where its meant to go?

    Can you cut it into the vacuum line to the fuel pressure regulator with a T piece....this should be straight engine vacuum.

    the big line you mentioned on the firewall should be the map sensor line. it should be right to use. why do you think it isnt?

    no its not the MAP sensor line
    its one that goes from the throttle body into a t-junction and the pipe goes both ways

    if its coming from the throttle body, after the butterfly, then it should be fine. just connect it to the map sensor
