Hi,

Given the fact that we have no idea of the model year of your Esprit, I would venture to say that there are a variety of answers. Give us more info and we may be better able to assist. Happy Motoring! ...Jim'85TE

If you are refering to USA Fed 89 1/2 or later 4 cyl car the line you refer to sounds a lot like the one going to vac purge line going to the charcoal canister located just under the coolant header tank.

oops--i was pretty sleepy when i wrote that..
it is a 90 SE.
the fuel vapor recovery canister is where i thought it may make a stop, but does it continue on to feed the solenoids for the boost valve or the ebpv?
thanks guys
i do appreciate the help!

It could also be the line that controls the throttle jacking capsule for the high rpm warm up which goes to a vacuum solenoid. On my S4s the solenoid is on the rear bulkhead wall between the engine bay and boot, on your SE it is somewhere else, in the passenger side wheel well I think.

You should have a vacuum diagram schematic on the underside of your rear hatch.

Hope this helps.

It is the charcoal cannister purge into the intake manifold. It goes from the charcoal cannister, which is under the coolant tanks, take manifold. There are no other connections.
