This is where the good end was:

So, what does it go to, what do I need to do to fix it? It was loose for a while, but it never gave me any problems, i assume until it melted :lol: it had a pcv i think on the other end, but it wasnt connected to anything. help me? oh, and once this part gets figured out, would that hurt gas milage?

You should post up a pic of the part we pulled out at the meet. Might give a better idea as to what's going on. It's been a while since I've worked on a 3.4 car, so I couldn't remember where everything went :redface:.

yeah, it sucks because my "book" is in the truck, 45 minutes away from here

yes, that is the part that I pulled up at the meet, it has since melted off the rest :redface:

On my 1991 GP/SE/LQ1 there is a PCV-valve connected to the hose at your finger. I guess your´s missing?

The plastic line goes around the engine on the back to the "front end" of lower intake manifold..

That diagram is not right.

 

The purple line should switch location with the blue line at left side.

 

Think about it, why should the PCV-valve be connected to a valve-cover? The PCV-valve is never going to work connected to a valve-cover, it has to be connected to a manifold vacuum source....

99regalgs, i stand corrected.

 

On my 1991 GP/SE the PCV line is routed to the front center crankcase (purple), and the ventilation line goes to the valve covers (blue).

 

May not be a big deal if it´s set up like this diagram either?

that would be the purple one, right?

 

Purple one is to the PCV valve, wich is correct...I took that plastic crap out and ran some, iirc 3/8, hose. Blue line is connected to the fuel pressure reg/ Mapp? (i think thats what it is) so...i dont think it should be switched...

thats so funny, I had the same EXACT thing happen to me in my 94 cutty vert 3.4

the line is either to the charcoal canister or the nipple just under the the top PCV line thats on the TB. I just cut them and added some vac hose, rerouted them to keep them away from the EGR pipe (which melted them) and VIOLA, like new. The left side lines go to the TB left rear bolt on canister purge valve.

 

OH YA GUYZ, while taking off the 3.4 cover, directly in front of the middle fuel injector the is a hole which looks like a bolt might go but i see NO traces of scuffing or tourque. Any ideas what it is? I looked down and did not see any threads..... AGAIN, front middle injector just in front of it, directly under fuel rail, ON intake manifold. Thanks, Mark

I think that is just some kind of guide or something, i slightly recall what youre talking about and wondered the same thing

 

Yeah, its a guide to guide the intake manifold in when replacing the gaskets.
