need help with motor swap

ok we swapped a d16a6 from an 89 si into my 90 std. it starts up and runs but we get a code 14. there is a hose on the fire wall with no where to go. on the 90-91 intake manifold there is a place for it but on this intake mani there is not a place for it(its from the 89). the car runs but it misses, kinda badly. does n e one know what to do with it?? also would a bad tps sensor make it miss at all? i really need to get it on the road so any help would be GREATLY appreciated. thanks

anyone????

you wouldnt be able to show us any pics would u? cause i mean u say hose but there are hoses all over the engine, so its hard to tell what your talking about. a pic would help

if you were swapping an automatic engine into a manual car or vice versa, i've heard there are slightly different vacuum lines. If the hose you're referring to is a vacuum line, try "T-ing" it into another vacuum line and see if that fixed your problem.

yeah..that's what I was gonna say...or even throw a small screw into the end of the hose to plug it up and see what happens...its amazing how poorly a little loose vacuum hose can make your car run..

we t'd it into another vaccum and nothing, then we plugged it and it is still missing and throwing code 14. im about ready to push the damn thing over a cliff

where on the firewall is this hose ?

its behind the intake mani and a little to the left. there are 2 of them and only one has a place to hook into the 89 intake manifold. on the 90-91 there is a place for it to hook in to

where is it on the 90-91 mani ? like u couldnt get a pic could u ? is it a vacuum line ? how big of a diameter is this hose ?

does the hose have a "#" on it like 7 or 12 or 21 ect....
