I don't think : the throttle body should have any fuel that far upstream, so ... Unfortunately my automotive knowledge is fairly limited. The throttle body has the two small hoses next to each other. One goes to the main vacuum valve, and the other (the one that is soaked in fuel) goes to a connector where it meets up with a much larger hose, also attached to the throttle body, and that connector plugs into the back of the top of the engine, right under the resonator assembly. This connector can't go all the way into the fitting in the engine because the resonator assembly pushes down on the hoses, causing it to sit at an angle, but still mostly inserted. -- agreenbu Return to Main Index
