[98sportageck]

Hi,
I have attached 2 pictures of a unconnected hose located right below my wiper pump. the back of it is connected to a hard line going behind the air resonator. I have a 1998 Sportage AT 4x4. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!

Maybe that's a cap on the metal line? Can't imagine what the line is for. Vacuum test point?

THE HOSE SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO A SLIP ON FITTING LOCATED ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. IT IS HARD TO SEE BUT FEEL AROUND FOR. IT SUPPLY'S VACUUM TO THE 4 W/D SOLENOID AND CANISTER. EITHER CAP THE FITTING OR RECONNECT IT AND CHECK FOR LEAKS .
