Help for a fellow sn95

Hey i'm posting this for my neighbor. He also owns a stang, a 98GT. The previous owner disconnected a hose that when reconnected causes the car to stall. It is a vacuum line from some sort of check or reg to the manifold ...

Okay well, thoughts?? It has obviously been off for a while.

Trun the engine on get some break cleaner and spray around that erea and listen to the change in the RPM

It will not start with that hose connected

can we get a better picture of that connector? what are the color of wires going into it? If you can get me the color wires, I may be able to look up the connector in my ford book and we can start to piece together what that thing is...

Purge valve

MustangChris · Oct 15, 2013

thats not the purge valve, is it?

I think it is. . By the purge canister. . Need a better pic

Also it could be the purge flow sensor. . Can't remember the proper name. .

thats the purge flow sensor. That's an open vacuum leak. Sounds to me like you have mucho vacuum problems. IAC may be bad and stuck shut and not allowing any air so it won't idle.
