Ok, can someone please identify what the hell this hose is ...
I found it dangling and rubberbanded back on till I buy a new one tomorrow (that is if pep boys carries this size)

Thanks.

P.S. I have a s13 ('90)

what the hell is that...? well, here's my shot at it, i know certain cars run some coolant through the throttle body so on cold days the throttle thing don't get stuck frozen, that's if the ka24e has that, so that's my shot...

Yeah, that looks just like a Throttle body coolant line. I didn't really realize my SOHC had one either. One way to know for sure is to start the car and pull it off. If you shoot coolant all over, you know

. If it was dangling and you've been driving it and there isn't a mess, it could be a vacumn line. Maybe for EGR or AIV.

The coolant lines are on the bottom of the TB. That's a vacuum line.

Ok kewl ... thanks. Im just curious, if that were dangling, what would it cause my car to do? My car has been very jumpy and pulling (not hard pulling) just very hard on shifting somewhat. Could this have anything to do with that?

Thanks.

Yes. Vacuum leaks are bad. If you can, run a NEW vacuum hose, and put some clamps/zip ties on it.
