If you've lost all of these, then your vacuum reservoir is not getting vacuum. There's a small (1/4 in dia.) line going to the firewall behind the right side of the engine back near the O2 sensor. Goes into a black rectangular plastic fitting. If that line is off, reconnect it to the manifold. If it's still connected, you'll have to pull the sides off the console and contort yourself to look up forward by the firewall. There's a white plastic thign on the top center of the tunnel that looks like a bunch of white balls stuck together. The vacuum to your pushbuttons comes from that, and that's where the incoming hose goes too. It's tough to see and getat but that is your starting point after making sure it's all hooked up under the hood.
Good luck!~
