Hi, new user. I'm wondering where the vacuum pipe from the pressure regulator on the injectors terminates. I can see one end of the pipe but it disappears under the intake manifold and I have no idea where it is connected to. I'm chasing starting issues and have found that this pipe seems intact but with the motor running there is no vacuum present and I can suck or blow on the pipe but feel no resistance either way. It may be split somewhere or even disconnected but where, should there be a vacuum on it at tick over? Spraying carb cleaner around has no effect. The pipe has a heat protecting sleeve so I can't tell visually if the pipe that I can see is in fact okay. Anyone know where this pipe goes? should it have vacuum? It's number 11 in the picture. One end goes on the regulator but where does the other end go? By the way I'm near Taunton in Somerset and I've had the car for 7 months now, gradually sorting the problems, not quite as good condition as I'd hoped so it's a bit of a money pit at the moment.
Where does this vacuum pipe go?

Please don't get discouraged and your car may seem like a money pit but believe me the knowledgable people on here have seen it and done it all. So be patient, someone will be around shortly to answer all your concerns and once you get everything sorted out you'll be loving that car and wonder why you were so frustrated when it puts that great big smile on your face that doesn't want to go away!
