I just put a new engine into a 03 explorer and have ran into a couple of issues.... First off i am having troubles finding where the red and black vacuum lines on the passenger side plug into.... second off ontop of the throttle body is a idle air control valve.... where does the vacuum line go off of it? and finally There is a small coolant line coming off of the top heater core hose that goes by the oil filler and i have no idea where it goes from there because someone cut it. can anyone please help me
