90V6RedHotLuminaEuro Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 Good Day! I hope you're enjoying a pleasant one. On my 90 Lumina Euro 3.1/V6, what is that round softball sized globe thing with a vacuum hose attached to it... insided the front/underneath my drivers side fender? The vacuum line goes up to a 3 way vacuum hose gadget, check valve? Quote
urbex Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 For some reason I thought it has to do with the cruise control, but I may be wrong... Quote
urbex Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 I thought the evap was near the gas tank? Quote
jman093 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 It's a vacuum tank to help the HVAC controls out. Quote
Psych0matt Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 It's a vacuum tank to help the HVAC controls out. Yeah, that's all it is is a vacuum tank Quote
Psych0matt Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 stolen from the exact same thread posted on V6Z24: It's a vacuum ball. Stores vacuum so at WOT you won't loose vacuum to your hvac and stuff Quote
90V6RedHotLuminaEuro Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Posted August 25, 2011 Thanks... I disconnected one at the salvage yard yesterday, still not knowing what it was... it went "hissssss"... the one on my Lumina had a broken hose... I reconnected it today... I hope the car runs a little better, maybe better fuel economy without that vacuum leak. Quote
Night Fury Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 Wow.... a car in a salvage yard that still held vacuum? That's gotta be rare. Quote

Addicted2bass Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 The older cars that have the metal can mounted under the hood on top of the wheel well are the best. looks like they just took a empty coffee can and put a vac line into it. Quote
Crazy K Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 no you guys... that thing he is talking about is THE ORB OF POWAR!!!! Quote
