thanks for the info I will take a look and let you know what i find.
the only thing is that in the same area you were talking about the
vent teminating i found another small vacuum line that was unhooked.
it looked to me like it hooked up to the white line coming from the
axle. the real problem with that white line is it came unhooked and
broken and i couldnt see where it is supposed to go to on the axle.
