cruise control delete
Hello,
I removed my cruise control (not sure the official name) but the cylindrical shaped thing in the engine compartment with the cable that went to the throttle. Since then I have been having some vacuum leaking issues and I think that may be the cause of the problem?? Here is what happened, when I took it out, I only remember their being one hose attached to the cruise control (probably my faulty memory). This one hose I remember connecter to the cruise control cylinder and the other end went through the small hole on the top of the middle of the metal box that connects the two rear shock towers. (this metal box is part of the chassis so hopefully you know what im talking about. Anyways, I was unscrewing the cruise control cylinder and i accidentally let it drop, connected by only the wire, and on the way down, it pulled the vacuum hose out of this hole that it went through and into the open air. I have no idea if this vacuum hoses was connected to another vacuum hose inside of that metal box, or if it was just left open?? I later found what I think was the other hose that was attached to the cruise control because I found a vacuum hoses with an open end that was connected to nothing. THis hose sources from the auxiliary air valve (i think its called (the goldish colored circle valve at the passenger side of the engine compartment next to the bottom of the air box)). This hose then branches wither once or twice (its hard to tell) and the branches go up into the throttle housing area. This hose ends to nothing so I taped it shut. I dont see the cruise control on this image and it is a california car if that changes anything about the system. CIS Primer for the Porsche 911 Any help/info on these two hoses would be great help. Thanks Scott

The hose that dropped down into the chassis is just a vent line. One end connected to the cruise vacuum canister and the other end was just open. The smaller of the two lines is a vacuum line and should be plugged if you removed the cruise control vacuum canister.

Ok, thanks, thats what I did. I think the vacuum line that was connected to the cruise control is connected to the decel valve and not the auxiliary air valve.
Well, I guess that means I should keep looking for the leak. Do the auxiliary air valve and decel valves ever go bad and need to be replaced? Thanks Scott
