will a z32tt start without the vacuum lines hooked up?

I have the factory tech book and the pics from here. I'm looking for some real good pics of the rear passenger side vacuum.

Welcome to ZDriver!

Are you asking the question that was stated in the title too? Which "vacuum lines" do you speak of? Because there are likely quite a few...

yeah, depends on how big the lines are and how many of them, if you hold the pedal to the floor it MIGHT start.... but seriously, just get the vac lines fixed before trying to start it.

A massive vacuum leak would definitely mess the air / fuel ratio.

And grammar / spelling help. Download Firefox... it has a built in spell check.

And we'll help best we can, but we still don't know what you are asking.

The boost controller vacuum solenoid replaces the OEM wastegate solenoids.
http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300z...avcr/avcr.html

And did you remove the EGR valve? Because one of those solenoids is for the EGR valve... if the EGR was removed, the solenoid may be gone, leaving only one.

IIRC, they actually come from kind of "underneath" the battery... between the battery and the fender. My memory could be wrong, though. Look there, though.

he just answered you but.... check to see if your EGR is still in.

there will be something like this ..
http://www.conceptzperformance.com/C...870.232.71.254

one of those will be bolted on each side towards the front of the plenum on the bottom side, is probably the easiest way to probably see if the EGR is still in. you can also see if the bolt has been inserted in the exhaust.
