Vacuum Lines (12/1985 EA-82)


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

I've decided to swap in another EA-82 engine and I want to make sure I know where all the vacuum lines go, as intended by the factory :)

The vehicle was originally a 1991 EA-82 carby, with 5-speed manual trans and air con.

 

The engine I'm swapping in was purchased 12/1985 and is an EA-82 carby with air con (not sure what transmission).

I'm having problems with the vacuum lines that connect to the climate control vacuum canister near the strut tower.

choke pulloff diaphragm --> my mistake, this hose goes to the A/C idle up diaphragm

I am trying to work out where these 4 vacuum lines need to connect?

There should be an A/C idle up solenoid here somewhere too.

 

I couldn't find reference to these 2 valves in my Haynes book either. They are both mounted on a bracket and are wired to a 4-way plug. The vacuum line is quite long so they must mount on the engine somewhere?

 

I have traced all the vacuum lines around the carby and everything seems to be accounted for...

 

Thanks in advance,

David.

Thanks for replying subiemech. I know I can simplify it but I am interested to know how it came from the factory (and what those 2 valves are for).

 

I'm sure someone would have a decent vacuum diagram for an '85 model.

It is a non-US model, yes. That might be why I'm having problems finding info about it.

 

The white vacuum canister is bolted between the strut tower and the firewall. There is a long, thin vacuum line (uses a 4mm hard plastic pipe) that connects to this pair of valves.

Given the length of the vacuum line they must bolt to the engine somewhere...

 

Thanks subiemech.

just a guess here but the push button 4wd uses vac solinoids just like that to actuate the diaphram to engauge 4wd. I assume you have a lever actuated 4wd. if this is correct you will not need those.

 

yup I just went out and looked at the car and I have those mounted on the drivers strut tower. there was also someone elses cat sleeping in there. good thing I opened the hood to look first. your question may have saved a cats life.
