'88 vaccuum hoses
1988 Corvette.
I just replaced my intake gasket (5 hours to remove all the parts)
When I reassembled, I forgot where some of the vaccuum hoses were connected and thus now the engine will not run. When I start the engine, it runs for about 2 seconds and then stops. When the engine stops, I hear a blast of air leaking from the front passenger side of the engine somewhere.
Could someone describe where the vaccumm hoses connect on the engine-- PLEASE ???

Check that big hose that runs from the right side breather to the right side TB.
There is a smaller vacuum hose that comes from the same side, under the TB to the left side fender vacuum hoses.

Re: '88 vacuum hoses (88runner)
OK, Thanks for all the answers each of you have provided. I have been around and around the engine, looking at each part trying to match according the the information provided. All seems to be conected correctly.
I seem to be missing the smaller hose that connects from the power brake booster to the front of the engine - somewhere. There is a large hose that connects from the power brake booster to the plenum already.
Anyone have pictures of the actual engine- if not PLEASE assist if possible.
Thanks again

Re: '88 vacuum hoses (88runner)
On my '88 booster, there is only one hose attached to the check valve on the booster and runs to the back of the plenum.
I think you may be talking about the cruise-control vacuum line. There is a T right about in the middle of the drivers side fender where the vacuum line from the ball by the headlights splits. On end on the T goes to the engine, the other goes to the cruise control diaphragm. The line that T's off to the engine is attached to a block underneath the throttle body.
