So...
I was messing around the other day in my bay and discovered a bunch of vacuum hoses thrown around the back of my engine,loose,going nowhere. Some had a SCREW STUCKED in the one end that was going nowhere...except the fact that I was pissed as hell,i started looking on the internet to find some sort of a diagram of the vacuum hoses connecting positions,i came across some of them but I couldn't understand a thing. Now I found the main reason that my car works like shit...my mechanic is also a dumbass so I wont even bother going there again,as he told me in the first place that it all was good. So..if someone could help me out with the vacuum hoses..where to connect them all in the right positions,i have tried swapping some of them,but nothing seem to change.
 
sounds like it could be vaccums for the top of the throttle body, if i remember right they connect to the A/C idle up and charcol canistor, these indeed can just be blanked off with a bung/screw ext, if these arent blocked the car wont idle properly.

chuck up a pic so we can make sure we are talking about the same thing

These 2 hoses are definitely blocked out by screws,but there are other hoses blocked as well. The one i recognized was the one going from the iacv to the rail under the intake,but the guy who did the conversion has bypassed the iacv as it seems cause the two wires that connect to the iacv are tighten on the one bolt that holds the iacv to the intake. It is a bit hard to explain but i'm doing my best :) I will post some pictures later to show you the mess!! :p

Yes mate, we would definitely need a few pics to comment any further. Those pipes can be a little confusing!

I'll advise on those tomorrow if no-one else can help.

It's just I'm a little tipsy and that usually isn't the best start to vacuum wiring stories.
