so yea i was just drivin my 8, minding my own business, when the vacuum hose blew!! so now im stuck with an expensive hunk of metal and plastic that runs like $h!t. so the reason why i am telling you guys, and gals, this is because i have no idea where the vacuum hoses are. so if someone has any pics or an engine diagram that would be awesome!!!

 

what year how many miles? is it under warranty? make a dealer take care of the problem

 

How do you know a vacuum hose blew if you don't know where they are? In general, while a vacuum hose issue might make the car run like **** or not at all, they are relatively minor issues that lead to sensors not knowing what is going on. Most originate on the intake manifold which will generate vacuum while the engine is running at partial throttle. Look for a rubber hose that has slipped off a connection or possibly touched something hot that it should not. Vacuum hoses are not usually blown on N/A cars. Most of the time, they melt or are left off when someone does some intake work and forgets or routes them incorrectly.

 

No one has pictures of the motor. You are just stuck with an expensive hunk of sh*t.
Go ahead and sell it!

 

^ Nice first post dude, now grow up

 

Wtf?

 

wtf? i asked a simple question? where are the vacuum hoses on the 8......

 

everyone i talk to says that it sounds like a vacuum hose blew or slipped off. the sound of air escaping is coming from towards the top of the engine by the intake but you cant really see much w/o taking stuff apart.

 

I was referring to cainamadzam's post. He joined the forum 11 days after me, and his first post was this...

That just did not look like the response you were asking for, does it? My shop manual is at home.

 

thanks for another "this thread sucks" moment ...

 

Indeed

 

I think what "cainamadzam" was trying to imply, was that if a single problem (as yet undefined, undiagnosed and unrepaired) makes your car "....an expensive pile...." maybe you are not RX-8 material, should go buy a Camry, and be happy .

This car sucks air like a Turbo, if u step on the gas nice and hard u can hear some *pssssssssssttttt* psssssssstttt* sound all the time.

Not sure which one u're talking about here. theres 2 on the intake and a really tiny one that goes into the throttle body(I cap this one myself, dont need it)

If u cant see it, you must be blind I suggest u to stop driving.

 

well you have a turbo so this might be a little more complicated.....

 

ok,

you say vacuum hose. so i guess you know what vacuum is..

air does not escape from a vacuum.... buy a vowel vana..

btw, you cannot see air...

pm if you need more help.

beers

 

dnt b retarted your not funny. or helpful. y do ppl say **** like tht wen someone asks for help? isnt there a **** talking thread somewhere tht go can go on?

 

by definition, a vacuum hose has a low pressure inside... physics would say its impossible to "blow up" a vacuum hose as a leak would cause it to suck (literally and figuratively)

 

This thread does not make any sense to me
