Gday guys,
A little question and Im hoping it's an easy one:)

Model:s1 disco 3.9 v8 94
Mission: to find missing hose
Goal:to reunite this missing hose to the pressure regulator


Over the past couple of weeks I removed my injectors for them to get cleaned and to reseal my Plenum chamber as I suspected a air leak and a bloked injector(due to poor quality fuel my wife has been purchasing).

Because I havent worked on a engine in the last 16yrs I took photos and numbered certain items to remember where they went back.

But I was left with one slight problem:(

I cant find the hose that goes to the pressure regulator on the fuel rail.In the photo's I have the hose coming from the drivers side coming across the fire wall and hooks around to the pressure regulator.
Yes I lost it,I only took one end off

I am hoping someone may know what Im on about and might be able to point me in the right direction of where this hose comes from so I can trace it back


Cheers
Bully.

That hose connects to the rear of the stepper motor body.
Go to the rear of the engine Driver's side, you'll see the stepper motor ( IAC), the stepper screws into a part on the Plenum and if you feel the rear of that part there is an air nipple which the hose connects too.
