i have a 1988 WS6 formula 350 and went to turn the ignition on just to see what still worked (i just bought it) aparently a hose is missing from the fuel rail, im not sure where it is supposed to go (silver screw on valve) pumps gasoline out slowy while the key is in ON position, any help would be greatly appreciated

the culprit is on the top left side of the picture, in the area that looks wet

 

This is the schrader valve, just like a bicycle tire valve. It's for check the fuel pressure and should be capped and should not be leaking.

 

try poking at the shrader valve it should push up to the top and not leak if its leaking from the top of the valve you might also need to tighten the little stem inside the valve. if it still dosn't work or is leaking from lower tighten it onto the fuel rail (through a socket on it) don't over tighten just snug.

if the valve is bad u can get one outta any 4th gen even the v6 ( i notice alotta of them in junk yards) justa fyi

 

alright i messed with it, and it seems to seal now, but i capped it witha cap from my old ac unit that doesnt work, and after i replace all the filters and fluids ill jump her and see if i can get a growl, thanks alot guys i just had to make sure it wasnt a vital hose missing

 

alright that did it, no more leaking gas, charged the battery and changed all the fluids and she started right up, amazing sound and power, i rev the engine and the entire car torques. I cant say ive ever ddriven a car with this power or torque its definatly goin to take some time to get used to it but i am absolutley in love thanks guys.
