The grey line was probably at one time white... that's vacuum source for the CAD. The green line is just a vent line, and shouldn't be hooked to anything. Should be a little filter feller on the end of it.
The line on the drivers side of the keg is just a spare.... mine is plugged off to. (with a cute little vacuum line cap.)
Have you fixed your plenum yet? Failing O2 sensors, and clogged cats (which is what it does indeed sound like you have.....) are generally signs of a toasted plenum gasket. Do you go thru more oil than you think you should between changes?

the oil is fine, i over filled it when i changed it. and its still over full. but i think, i could be wrong but i think as i said in a different post that my coolant is... evaporating or some sort.
also with the green vac line off the transfer case right? well my freind unpluged it from the air intake manifold. and i noticed my rpms are at 900 rather than 750. is that good? exept im burning MORE gas. and im still getting 7.5 mpg with the 2nd o2 sensor.
(im not mechanically smart.im learning and i learn well with hands on. looking at stuff online and then in person on my truck, that was sooo "afro enginered" as my grandpa says. its very very hard to see what is similar). i mean i have battery acid corrosion all over the driver side were the battery sits. it ate my cruise control, some vacuum lines, and electrical that i have no idea what the hell it goes to.
sorry for such a long post. im sure some of its confusing. thanks for your time.

Did you look at the link I provided? The green one goes to the TC switch just like the red,black and grey. And if the cat is clogged it's because of a blown plenum gasket and /or bad pcv valve. And you need to remove the TB and look all around inside with a flashlight and mirror, to know if the gasket is blown.
Why do I feel like I've typed the same thing in this thread 6 times? LOL

OK, I'll say it for the last time. If the cat is clogged there is a 99.9% chance the plenum gasket is blown, period. And a .1% chance the pcv is shot. No disrespect toward your Grandfather, but, You simply need to remove the TB and check it.
On a side note, I went to the junk yard today. And I got the filter/vent cap for the end of the green vac line if you would like it.

you can try a gallon of laquer thinner with a half tank of gas.... and run it and about 2000 rpms for 20 mins or so... that supposed to clean out the cat converter... I saw the video on youtube and am curious on how well it works...the poster has lots of DIY auto stuff...scotty Kilmer...
