Engine: V6, 3.0, '91

I have two vacuum lines going into a "switch" at my power steering pump. I understand that this effects idle at full turn left or right (at least I think I understand this).

My question is how does one determine which line on the switch is for in, and which is for out? Does that make sense? I disconnected the lines at the other ends from the pump by mistake before marking them.

Thanks

 

I don't think it matters, it's a flow through kind of thing.

 

On mine the hose closest to the front of the engine goes to the power steering port closest to the front, the other goes behind it and runs across the head to the middle of the intake

Just disconnect it. 33's, 4Low, full lock on the steering, bound up driveline, disconnected vacuum idle up lines, no problem here. If you had 44's, yeah it may be a problem. But the idle is high enough to be OK.

 

On in or out on the p/s VSV. It opens under high p/s fluid pressure and closes under low pressure. Passes vacuum from one side to the other.

 

Yup. its just an "on-off" valve. It doesn't matter which hose is where.

 

Guess that's why it's not marked

Thanks
