Emissions vacuum hoses top of the engine near the intake manifold.

The Originals became brittle and broke apart in many areas when intake manifold was removed to clean the intake port holes which are known to build up with residue.
I purchased new tubing which I will be cutting and installing once I know the diagram to route of each vacuum line. Example, Canister Purge Solenoid, EGR Vacuum Solenoid

Sticker under the hood is non neither readable nor gives clear specifics to rote.
Auto parts store who once had this posted on their web site, removed it from there data base.

It goes to a fitting on the intake manifold so that the pressure regulator receive full manifold vacuum to control fuel pressure.

My 1999 Ford Windstar is shaking badly when it idles. I have had the car serviced for the following problems within the last year: New transmission, new plugs and wires, brakes, inner and outer arms, starter and the usual oil and filter changes. The service technicians say they are stumped about this problem and don't know how to fix it. There are no codes showing on anything. I did have a vacuum hose with a hole that was replaced but the problem continued. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

There may still be another vacuum hose with a crack or it may be unhooked, usually the engine light will come on but not always, also, you can bring it to autozone and tell them that you have an intermittent engine light(goes on and off) and have them scan the computer for free, maybe we can get a trouble code out of it.

I was driving the van the other day and suddenly it began to make a grinding noise. I slowed down, then as I accelerated the noise begacame louder. Suddenly, I was just coasting. Giving it gas did nothing. I turned it off and started it again, nothing. The garage now is saying that my fly wheel is damaged along with a missing bolt from the "bolt pattern" that enables the engine and transmission to operate together. What do you guys think? I'm about at my wits end with this vehicle. I desperately need it to run for about another 18 months but I cannot afford to keep pouring money into it. I just don't have it. If I did, I'd get another vehicle!
Thanks for your previous input as well as any idea you might have for the new junk.

That could possibly be the problem. If at all possible have someone else look at it too. It is allways better to get a second look, if you can
