that's the line that is steel and rusted through that caused headaches for me too... and am still considering it as a possible culprit in my idle problems after a new fuel filter and new AMM (my recent problems.)
I patched mine with the largest gas line hose available but it's too thick now to fit in standard clips holding it up....so I just wound it around the other fuel lines.
Again there are Three fuel lines on my car.... and I thought the other two non steel lines were the supply and return with pressure at intake injector system both in non metal lines (much thinner than the steel line (O.D.))... and I thought the rusty one was some sort of vapor return line... but if cut will siphon gas outta the tank...(how'd I know that?... a potential nightmare doing that one night when I clamped off the wrong line..... without taking rear wheel off to see what I was doing... Recommended: adequate jackstands and take the rear wheel off to do this on the ground...)
a dirty job, but needs to be done.
Ignore the following as this is my problem, not yours:
(I've got all kinds of Questions about my fuel system....for one: when I depressureized my system... the fuses in my fuse box didn't seem to do the trick as the one's listed maynot have been the ones to the fuel pumps?.... the book and and my car differ on this.... among many questions as I am dealing with my car's bad idle after getting a new rebuilt AMM (and it was getting bad before my
AMM went bad....so I don't blame it ...yet. )
I know the list: check fuel pressure....(don't have the tools yet..)
clean throttle body... well, need maybe next weekend for that.
check vacumn pressure....again no tools yet for that... but buying tools is probably cheaper than my overpriced local mechanics that seem to try to sell me the wrong solutions...)
ignition timing.>>>? this is different than the new timing belt I think I need...isn't...it ?
anyway. at least my car runs now.
one other thing: someone said, intake manifold gasket could be leaking a little and said it was an 'easy' job...and indications that Man.? said was if the idle gets better after warming up engine that's a good indication of manifold gasket problems (losing vacumn or pressure?) (easy?? not what the mechanics say...)
