Default octopus hose PITA

PITA to get out until I found the tie wrap someone used to hold it up to the body contour.

And someone routed the line from the pressure regulator to TB incorrectly.
And some of the vacuum lines broke, and I broke one of the plastic tubes on the water valve.

Ditto on all counts ! Amazing.


Perhaps the tie wrap is a tsb we missed. (like the the zip tie on the throttle cable clip shown in the service manual).

My 03 when I took it it out mine had a tie wrap on the octopus hose dead smack in the back of the motor sorta above the trans tied to some vac line of some sorts that as I recall ran off into the firewall I think.
