ask and you shall recieve. this piece should of had a cab on it like the other one on but it did not. there is a alot of lines going into each other on the passenger side by the tranny dipstick. to the right it has a spot where they all attach to and goes into the intake manfold. i looked and looked i saw no lines that were off

Shouldn't the fsm have the vacuum routes in it? You could check and see if that is supposed to go somewhere

That part you taped up should have a vacuum line attached to it coming from the firewall to your blend doors under your dash. Do your heat/air blend doors work properly?

Here is a photo of what it should look like. I drew the arrows to show that the vacuum line that runs from the spot that you taped off goes through the firewall next to the a/c evaporator core. Whoever replaced your dash broke that vacuum line (probably by pulling it through the firewall when they yanked the dash out, and they didn't replace it. That is why your defrosters don't work and why that line is open that you taped off.

Use some regular rubber vacuum line. You can buy it by the foot at any parts store.
