Vacuum line mysteries

Haha, that must be fun! What did you toss into the hat?

I traded a '98 Honda CR-V. It's got four documented rebuilds on the title from collisions, but still has some good miles left in it:


Here's the car I'll be using starting next spring after I harden it a little more for off-road use.


...So, pics of your new 2001 S?

Just this blurry one with its predecessor. My iphone is dying and makes only blurry pictures. I`ll take a few better shots maybe this weekend.



The car was throwing a P0160 code because there was something wrong with the connectivity between the post cat oxygen sensor and the DME. I fixed that temporarily with this nice additional pink wire:



Now I found out what was actually wrong:








So there`s some progress

would be very interesting to learn what caused this damage. Is there something metal under the cross air runners that could chew this up when engine is runnig?

I suspect the flapper valve lever somehow rubbed against it. I`ll take a look at it when I put it back on.

It's right under the flapper, so that's likely. Still, check the wiring to the knock sensors while you are there - if it was a rodent, they almost always seem to chew the knock sensor wires first.

Ain’t that the truth! Those wires must have peanut butter flavored insulation on them. I learned to solder properly (Dad was an MTS at Bell Labs) in the late 60s, and repairing that damage was absolutely the most touch and go job I have ever attempted.

My car will start and run but anytime I accelerate, it dies and I can’t hold the pedal longer than two or three seconds. I can rev high but then again it dies. I think it is a vacuum leak as well. Any chance you took pictures of the connection points for the tubes and the pink wires?
