looped lines?

[DSM "BISH"]

i was working on a friends dsm last night and noticed that he had looped teh four lines coming off the throttle body. the first line line looped into the second port and the third line looped into the fourth port. waht is the point in doing this? i want to get rid of some of my vaccum lines and was wondering if this was a feasible way of doing so?

you could do that or what I did was get some 1/4" Al rivets and riveted them in and now no more ugly vacuum lines....it also doesn't leak at all....worth the effort...just my $.02

I'm pretty sure you would be fine just capping them ports off. While your at if you mine as well block off the EGR and EVAP and stuff. Search for the taboospeedshop vacuum diagrams.

sweet apprecaite it guys. so the things that lines go to should i just cap those or get rid of them all toghther?

Yup. All they are there for is just stupid emitions crap.

You really should cap them not loop them.
At least one of them is behind the throttle plate and shouldn't be connected to a port in front of the throttle butterfly.

o i see. so just pull the lines off and put vaccum caps over the 4 ports and remove the things that the lines went to?

Yep, follow this diagram:

Takes no time, cleans up your engine bay, and causes less headaches when going through the lines.
