I am looking for a vaccum diagram for the 02 buick lesabre. It is missing a hose, one end of the hose connects to the check valve, which is connected to the intake manifold. I need to know where the other end connects. I know one hose from the check valve attactches to the brake booster, but where does the other one attach?

The large hose goes to the brake booster. The family of the car moved from a different state and had work done there. I found the air leak that was triggering the p0171 code and part of a degraded hose still attach around the part. I have not been able to locat where that hose may have gone, or found a hose that was open somewhere else. The first picture is the part disconnected from the intake manifold, the second is a side picture.

Look for an evaporator canister. That needs a vacuum supply.

Main problem car is shuddering and hesitating while driving at any speed. Most people I spoke with does concur that is sounds like the MAF sensor and/or vacuum leak somewhere, but here are more facts that found out today. I think the individual at the auto part store was using the wrong type of scanner for the year of my car. I took it and a mechanic to see why it would scan. Of course this was before I just found out I could check it myself. In any case. He seem to think either a bad ECU or the code for crank sensor is legit. According him the ECU is more expensive but an easy fix and the crank sensor was less expensive but harder to get to. However, just further investigation I seem to have a coolant leak which got on to wires and such and perhaps out the exhaust. My question to you gentlemen now is what is your opinion on this assessment and what exactly could in fact be damaged by this coolant and could this cause all the problems I explained previously. Will there be other problems forth coming with this and what should be the solution and estimated cost for repairs. Don't want to be took on this one and finally what is the best and the worst case scenario here? Thanks again gentlemen for your replies.

Try and have it rescanned and get back with any code/s that popped-up-Your posibilities could be one of the follwoing below that will cause your problem.

Could be caused by one of the following below
