Re: Vacuum hose on top of engine and right of power...
There is a diagram in the motor comparment either in the hood or the inner fender otherwise you need to come with more info on what engine size and model you have if this help please rate the answer in the corner of this box
Re: Vacuum hose on top of engine and right of power...
It would help greatly to know what specific vehicle you need the diagram for. Might even be no need for a diagram and a walk through if a person would know what vehicle it is for.

the fuel test port is right behind the power steering pump. You will see a black plastic cap right behind one of the power steering lines. Remove the cap and you will see the schreader valve.
The fuel pressure regulator is on the drivers side of the engine next to the throttle body right where the throttle cable is attached. there will be a vacuum hose on the top of it a steel line coming out of the bottom and there will be a single bolt holding it to the fuel rail. Remove the vacuum hose from the top, start the engine, and see if fuel comes out. If it does than the regulator is leaking and needs to be replaced.

Disconnect the negative battery cable from the left strut tower.
The ground cable is equipped with an insulator grommet, which should be
placed on the stud to prevent the negative battery cable from
accidentally grounding.
Siphon as much power steering fluid out of the reservoir as
possible.

Remove the power steering adjusting bolt.
Remove the power steering pump rear attaching bolt.
If so equipped, remove the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) hydraulic
control unit heat shield.
Remove the wheel speed sensor retainer bracket from the right
inner fender.
Remove the wheel speed sensor sealing grommet from the right inner
fender.
Disconnect the speed sensor wiring.
Push the wiring through the hole in the inner fender.
If not equipped with anti-lock brakes, the hole will just have a
sealing plug.
Remove the bolt attaching the power steering front bracket to the
mounting bracket. Access to the bolt is gained through the hole for the
speed sensor wiring.
Remove the power steering pump drive belt.
Remove the power steering pump and the front bracket as an
assembly.
To install:
Install the power steering pump and bracket.
Reinstall the bolt at the adjusting slot, but do not tighten.
Reinstall the bolt mounting the power steering pump to the rear
mounting bracket, but do not tighten.
Reinstall the power steering pump top bolt, but do not tighten.
Reconnect the power steering hoses.
Fig. 4: Install a new O-ring gasket on the hose fitting Use a new O-ring when reinstalling the power steering pressure hose.
Reinstall the drive belt.
Adjust the drive belt and tighten the power steering pump bolts to
40 ft. lbs. (54 Nm).
Reinstall the splash shield.
Reinstall the tire and wheel assembly.
Lower the vehicle.
Reconnect the negative battery cable.
Refill the reservoir and bleed the power steering
system.
Sebring Coupe and Avenger
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Remove (drain, suction pump, etc.) as much power steering fluid as
possible.
Disconnect the return fluid line. Remove the reservoir cap and
allow the return line to drain the fluid from the reservoir. If the
fluid is contaminated, disconnect the ignition high tension cable and
crank the engine several times to drain the fluid from the gearbox.
Cover any components located underneath the power steering pump with a
shop towel to protect them from damage due to power steering fluid
spillage. For example, the A/C compressor or alternator, depending on
vehicle and engine, is below the power steering pump, so cover the A/C
compressor or alternator with a shop towel before removing any hoses.
Loosen (but do not remove) the power steering pump mounting bolts
and remove the drive belt.
Remove the pressure switch connector from the side of the pump.
Disconnect the pressure line.
Unbolt and remove the pump from the mounting bracket.
To install:
Clean all parts well. Inspect the pump pulley for cracks. Check
the hoses carefully for cracks or signs of weakness.
Install the pump, wrap the belt around the pulley and lightly
tighten the mounting bolts.
Replace the O-rings and connect the pressure line. Connect the
pressure line so the notch in the fitting aligns and contacts the pump's
guide bracket. Tighten the fitting to 13 ft. lbs. (18 Nm).
Connect the return line and secure with the clamp.
Fasten the pressure switch connector.
Adjust the power steering belt for proper tension and tighten the
adjusting bolts.
Use only MOPAR ATF PLUS automatic transmission fluid type 7176, ATF+3
automatic transmission fluid, or equivalent, in the power steering
system of Sebring coupe and Avenger models.
Refill the reservoir and bleed the power steering
system.
Hope this help to solve it (remember comment and rated this). TY for using Fixya.
Your problem could be a pressure side hose that has a rupture that only leaks in extreme conditions. Inspect to replace with new to repair problem. First make sure you have removed the pump caps off of the hose fittings. If ok, it appears you may have a stuck valve in the rack assembly. Replacing the rack should solve your problem.-------The new pump should be self-bleeding by turning the wheels left and right. Let sit over night to release air bubbles, recheck fluid level.------Check the tension of the drive belts on the pump, as they may be loose.The power steering pump and reservoir is located on the front of the engine driven by one of the fan belts. There is a removable cap on the top with a dipstick attached. With the engine off, fill this up to the full mark with power steering fluid. Replace the cap, start the engine and check for leaks. On the back of the pump are two hoses either one could be leaking.REPAIR PROCEDURE: 1. Wipe the power steering cap and area free of dirt. Remove the power steering cap.
2. Use a siphon pump to remove as much fluid as possible from the power steering fluid reservoir.
3. With a helper in the vehicle, raise the vehicle on an appropriate hoist.
WARNING :POWER STEERING FLUID, ENGINE PARTS, AND THE EXHAUST SYSTEM MAY BE EXTREMELY HOT IF THE ENGINE HAS BEEN RUNNING. DO NOT START ENGINE WITH ANY LOOSE OR DISCONNECTED HOSES. DO NOT ALLOW HOSES OR POWER STEERING FLUID TO TOUCH HOT EXHAUST MANI FOLD OR CATALYST.4. Locate the power steering cooler attached to the crossmember support plate. Slide back the clamp and disconnect one of the two power steering return hoses at the power steering oil cooler and drain fluid in an appropriate container. 5. Have the helper turn the steering wheel back and forth quickly several times to force as much fluid as possible from the steering gear. 6. Reconnect the hose at the oil cooler using the original clamp. 7. Lower vehicle so the vehicle tires are not contacting the ground.9. For proper fluid fill and bleeding air from the power steering system:
a. Fill the power steering reservoir to the top of the fill range using Mopar power steering fluid (ATF+4) p/n 05013458AA.
b. With the engine OFF and the vehicles tires off the ground, slowly turn the steering wheel back and forth (lock to lock) slowly 20 times to force fluid into the steering gear.
c. Fill the power steering reservoir to the top of the fill range.
d. Start engine and let run for a few seconds, then turn oft engine.
e. Check fluid level and add if necessary.
f. Start engine, and slowly turn the steering wheel lightly contacting the left and right stops.
g. Stop the engine and check fluid level. Add fluid if necessary.
h. Lower vehicle, start engine and slowly turn steering wheel lock-to-lock.
I. Stop engine and check fluid level. Add fluid if necessary.
j. If fluid is extremely foamy, allow vehicle to stabilize a few minutes, then repeat steps "i" and "j" until the fluid level remains constant after running the engine and turning the steering wheel from lock to lock.
10. Inform the vehicle owner/operator that a steering vibration may be noted for a few hundred miles until the air is completely removed from the steering system.This will help. Thanks please keep updated.please do rate the
solution positively .thank you for using fixya
The reservoir is in with the power steering pump. You can find the power steering pump along the serpentine belt and remember to check the level while the engine is running. On the power steering cap there is a built in dip stick with makings, just make sure you don't over fill. Good luck and hope this helps. I think on the 3.1 and 3.4 the power steering pump is at the top just to the right od the alternator.
I tried to give you a vaccum diagram but the manufacture will not release that info to outsiders. you need to find where the hose goes to.if you loose vac to the controls it goes to defrost mode.
