vacuum lines and lean code
hi everybody
I own a 1989 Z51 6 spd. The car is back firing. The code according to my mechanic is something about running lean. I have the hoses on the top of the canister running correctly. The CEL is on and it now wants to stall.
Does anyone know what the lower hoses connect to. I met someone with a pristine 87 and I did not want to start climbing all over his car. The lower hoses go into the front bumper but I do not know what they connect to.
If I leave the hose from the manifold to the canister off the car will idle. I would like to connect it properly. So if anyone knows where it goes please email me.
If anyone knows what i need to do to get rid of that code
Thank you all

Thank you.
I connected all of the other hoses and the CEL went out. But, presently it does not idles correctly. I get backfires when I slow down and the car stalls. I dropped it and my timing light off at my mechanic.
Yes he does not have a timing light. One of his techs looked at me like I had two heads when I said timing light.
I am thinking that this can be a TPS adjustment. It will be interesting to see what happens to the gas mileage when this all gets straightened out.
Thank you for the drawings. They confirmed what I thought.
