Help identify loose hose.
Hello,
I have a hose that was disconnected when I was doing some work but can't seem to find from where it was disconnected from. It connects to the tpi on one end via a metal pin and then has two hoses on the other. Doesn't seem to affect anything when discoed. Can someone tell me what this does and where the other two ends should go? Its an 89 Coupe.

Snapshot wasn't there when I first looked - maybe a browser malfunction BUT sharing the year could certainly help.

Check this post. Yours might need some rework. The bottom right loose hose is the vacuum connection. The top wire is the cruise and the bottom left loose is HVAC connection.

The location of them in that thread is a bit different than mine. In that thread the top part is next to the injectors and under the fuel rail. On my year its ontop. However, assuming they go to the same places on the bottom side, where do i look for the other end of the vacuum and HVAC connections?

Valve is located similar to this from the FSM from the fitting high and to the rear of your plenum (which appears correct), one tail goes to a group of wires and a plastic tube that goes through the firewall and the other towards the vacuum canister. The snapshot I don't find
Here's the 'pass-through' and the valve location when plumbed correctly I believe. The arrows for S135 & S152 are pointing towards the 'pass-through' from the inside. You'll find it under the hood behind the distributor and you're looking for likely a 5/32 tube.

So that's what that thing is. Cruise control never worked on my car. Sounds like a plan.

Vacuum line
I have a 1991 and just checked mine on mine the top line goes to the plenum, the small bottom line goes to the HVAC and the larger line goes to the Tee mentioned by WVZR-1 (driver side).

Thanks everyone. I followed one of the lines from the vacuum tank and found a disconnected junction at the T connector. Then behind the distro I found what looks like a broken plastic straw like cable coming out from a wiring loom at the firewall. I connected both up. No real way to tell if it does anything. Speaking of cruise control, do you guys have some kind of indicator on the dashboard when you flip the switch to on or when you press the button at the end of the stalk?

Guess I'm a little spoiled to all the lights on newer cars.
My MDX has a your headlights are on light, separate one for fog lights, cruise control power on, cruise control engaged. It even has lighted switches for the dash dimmer, and trip reset. It even has 2 bulbs to illuminate the cup holders in a soft blue light.
I spend a fortune on bulbs keeping 4 honda products fully illuminated.
