Default Vacuum diagram?

I'm looking for a vac diagram to help solve the idle issue on my 95 ti.

It doesn't like to start at all when cold.....idles extremely low, will die if you give it gas. Once it warms up it will idle high (1500 rpm) and if you put it in N (it's an auto) the idle will jump around.

Unrelated, but the rad fan is on all the time (has been since I cleaned it), even with the AC off.

Main thing is to solve the idle issue, so I can get the car emissions tested and register/tag it

maybe I missed it, but I went through most of the items on there and didn't see it. Still waiting on my bently to come in from amazon. Should have it in there, the bently for my 535 did.

should be a diagram on the passenger side strut tower.

Check your intake boot for holes as well as check/clean your ICV valve.

If you think its a cracked hose or leak take a propane torch and just open the valve to let the propane out DO NOT IGNITE IT. Then move it around the engine bay. When you hear your RPMS increase, there is your leak.

I have the same EVAP leak code come on the tech II tool. BUT I cannot find the leak. My registration is due already and my check engine light comes on every 80-90 miles after I clear it with the "peak research tool"

Xenocide,
The propane test!! can you please elaborate on that?

don't know how else to elaborate on it, just let the propane flow and where your rpms increase thats your leak.

Default EVAP system

So question is
How do I get to the Part #'s 1 thru 7 on the diagram??

Do I have to take the entire intake manifold off to access #7 (container)??

Dang this EVAP Leak!

Car is running smooth & strong, getting at least 30MPG, but this leak is not letting me get my SMOG done!

Please help!
TIA

just replace them without testing if you think they are leaking. Really cheap parts.

I would have already replaced if I could get to them.
I have replaced all the hoses and stuff that are easily accessible. Since this #7 cannister thing is under the itake manifold I am hesitant to dismantle the whole thing and add more issues.
