It is part of the cruise control.
service engine light on? Have vehicle scanned to determine problemCheck for vacuum leak
A diagram for the vacuum hoses on a 1997 Pontiac Sunfire is located in the service manual. It outlines where each hose goes and its function.
On a 1995 Pontiac Firebird with a 3.4L engine, the vacuum lines are primarily located around the intake manifold and throttle body. Key lines include those connected to the brake booster, the EGR valve, and the vacuum hose for the fuel pressure regulator. Additionally, there are vacuum lines leading to various sensors and actuators, which can be found along the engine compartment and near the firewall. It's essential to check for any cracks or disconnections in these lines, as they can affect engine performance.
Low voltage (high vacuum) at mass air flow sensor (or MAP sensor).
If it's vacuum (has hose) just apply vacuum.
The vacuum actuator is on the right side of the axle. The electrical switch is on the actuator. The vacuum switch is on the top of the transfer case.
Buy a Haynes Manual at your local auto parts store (just like a Chiltons) and find page with diagrams.
The vacuum actuator is either in the fender or under the battery. The actually diff actuator is on the back/bottom of the front diff. Mine (2000 blazer) is under the battery. It sucks to get to. If you check the actuator and it doesn't move at all, check the vacuum, if it's not getting vacuum, check the switch on the top driver's side of the transfer case. It sends vacuum to the actuator. It has three vacuum hoses coming off of it. It costs fifteen dollars at autozone and usually greatly improves the performance of the acuator.
This sounds like a YJ jeep issue, I eliminated the vacuum actuator by installing a heavy duty choke style manual cable attached to the vacuum actuator arm, that way I can lock the front diff when I wanted. Make sure you cap off the vacuum line, otherwise your engine will run poorly.
On a 1996 Chevrolet Corsica, the vents for the defrost system are controlled by a vacuum-operated actuator. When the defrost setting is selected, engine vacuum is used to move the actuator, which in turn shifts the air distribution doors to direct airflow to the windshield. This vacuum control system allows for precise operation of the HVAC system’s venting functions. If there are issues with the defrost operation, it may be related to vacuum leaks or actuator failure.
No, it is electric
On a Dodge Ram, it runs from the intake manifold, to the switch on the transfer case, to the front axle shift actuator.
