Ensure all vacuum hoses and electrical wires are routed clear of the exhaust manifold to prevent deterioration due to the high temperature. Vacuum hoses should always be a minimum of three inches from the exhaust manifold.
NOTE: Use only fuel resistant hoses when servicing the evaporative control system.
