I had noticed some leaves and such in there. and thats when i saw a bunch of the vacuum hoses going nowhere... hmm, my conclusion so far has been the hoses were baked, and that some damn little critter got in there and chewed em up(see the mention about a bunch of leaves...well i also found a stockpile of acorns once I got the manifold off.. my guess is either a very small squirrel, or a mouse) just my luck... a varmint 1/10,000th the size of my car did it in.... ughhhhh

Yep..them thar critters can reek havoc on a car....
