Vacuum line nightmare !! Help !! (please?).
 
I have a 1992 ford e-series, e-150, econoline cargo van, with a 5.0 litre engine, auto trans.and is a california vehicle. Due to an extremely disgruntled x-girlfriends vindictive behavior, my vacuum line system suffered the brunt of it all. In short, its a mess. Im confident i can restore it back to normal. The only thing that stops me is i need complete, easy to understand information, (a vacuum line and its components schematic/diagram, color coded if possible, showing me what vacuum line goes where, etc, etc., i would greatly appreciate anyone that could assist in getting my vans vacuum line system back to normal. Or provide info where i can get what im looking for. Thank you so much.

Is the original routing diagram missing? It would normally be on the underside of the hood, or possibly on the core support..

Thank you for your reply. Your answer is yes, it is missing. Do you know where i can find a complete, (easy to understand), vacuum line diagram/schematic? Thank you
so much.

Have you thought about using “just answer”? I’ve seen them pull up schematics for other vehicles, maybe it’s worth a shot if you can’t find it elsewhere, or it might be a waste of money..hm.

thank you for your reply. Your answer is "no", i have not received any information regarding a vacuum line schematic/diagram, i have spent a great deal of time and believe it or not, i have found nothing. I've been to salvage yards to look at other vans engine compartments for omnipresent vacuum lines and find them missing and/or butchered. If anyone can help, id sure appreciate it.. Im not working, however i could pay something, cashwise, if some found something. Thanx !!

thank you do much for your reply. I shall definitely give them a shot. Can not hurt, right? If its a waste, well, at least i can strike them off my list. I am just at my wits end searching. Im a fervent believer that "persistence pays", im hoping and praying it will in this ongoing dilemma. Otherwise, i'll be a prime candidate for the funny farm. In the meantime you run across any info on my behalf, you know where to find me. Thanx again sir !!

I found a vacuum diagram for an F series 5.0L on JustAnswer. I know it's an F and not an E but it may give you some clues.

Sorry if this ends up being a wild goose chase for you.

I have 2 diagrams for 1991 5.0 e150 engines.
Can you possibly get the engine calibration code from the engine? There is usually a decal on the valve cover showing that info.
Do you know if your engine has a MAP sensor?
I have no way to send a photo so we can do it by description, should be no problem.
If info requested is not available, can you tell us which lines are still intact and approx how many were removed/destroyed.?

Will check a 1992 Powertrain manual for the decal.
