        Im pretty sure its a vacuum line, check the intake manifold just under where the carb mounts to the intake, theres seven places for vacuum lines. See if there is one missing.

          I looked around. I didn't see anything to connect it to. The other end comes off of a hose the splits and goes to the charcoal filter.

            I went out with a flashlight and looked at my '89; my hose is unhooked at the top! The bottom hooks to a T connection but I can't see under the air cleaner where the top goes. Will mess with tomorrow. Also ant nest in door from sitting one weekend!

              Is it the hose with green and white round thingy in the middle?

                It goes to the air cleaner. I had a carb festy and the white and green thing is a check valve.

                    Yes, it looks like a small fuel filter. Apparently you must remove the air cleaner assembly to see where it hooks up. I got an '89 wiring and vac manual the other day and it shows it hooked to a T that splits between the air cleaner vac motor and the air cleaner hot idle compensator (?). The lower (in diagram) hose goes to a T connection that splits and goes to the vac manifold and canister.

                      I will see what can find tomorrow hopefully I will find the missing part. And hopefully it will cause car to run better and get better gas mileage! !

                        Didn't find anything. Maybe I've got something else hooked up in its place.

                          I removed my air cleaner to see where the top hose goes (don't think this is your problem). It goes to the front connector sticking out of the R side of the air cleaner, just below the rearmost fat hose. The bottom hose goes to a T connector, about 5 inches below the plastic thing. It is not buried, and should be noticable. Hope this helps. If it doesn't, I'll try to take a pic. George

                            Ive got 3 connectors on the air filter thing where your talking about. But I've got 3 hoses already connected there. Wonder which one is wrong
