Vacuum hose diagram

Ford Ka Endura engine vacuum hose diagram: a hose runs from the intake manifold to a T-fitting, which distributes vacuum to the canister valve and the flame-arrestor valve.

How the connection works

The connection follows this route:

  • A hose from the intake manifold (intake manifold) comes out as a hose for vacuum.
  • This hose reaches a T-fitting.
  • From the T-fitting, vacuum is distributed to two components:
    • the canister valve (fuel vapor control);
    • the flame trap valve.

Why this matters

The key point is that all hoses must fit securely with no looseness. Any looseness creates a vacuum leak — and a vacuum leak on the Endura causes the classic symptoms: rough idle, unintended acceleration, and stalling. If your Endura has these symptoms, checking the vacuum hoses and this T-fitting is a great first step.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the Ford Ka Endura vacuum hose connect?
The hose runs from the intake manifold to a T-fitting, which distributes vacuum to the canister valve and the flame trap valve.

My Ka Endura stalls at idle / revs too high. Could it be a vacuum problem?
Yes. A loose hose or connection in this vacuum circuit causes a vacuum leak, leading to rough idle, unintended acceleration, and stalling.
