        Welcome Aboard!! Mtec, I assume he's talking about the vac line spider web, correct 88red?

        Here's a start, but I agree pics always work better for me than diagrams.

        Post your Festiva or Aspire repair and maintenance issues. - USE THIS FORUM FOR ANY TECHNICAL RELATED POST (IE. How do I change my oil?, How to remove axle from tranny?, etc)

                      i hope these help you at all, you can kinda tell where they come from and go to based on the position of the hoses and the colors as well. i realize i didnt get everything, but its late here, its dark and i just got off a 12 hour shift if you need additional i will still be able to take more, before noon on monday.


                      (not posting them all on the forum, so there on my website.
