What happens when vacuum is lost in an engine?
Some fuel pressure regulators are vacuum modulated, and so would jump to high pressure when vacuum is lost. This could result in fuel trim problems and a check engine light, possibly with Fuel System Rich DTCs, such as P0172 or P0175.
Where is the vacuum line on a Ford Ranger?
The white line controls the cabin air intake under the glovebox and the thermostat shutoff under the hood. It should only have vacuum when the switch is in a certian position, AC probly.

What kind of fuel trim is a vacuum leak?
Short-term or long-term fuel trim, STFT or LTFT on a scan tool, might show something like +10% or +25% as the ECM attempts to compensate for unmetered air. P0171 and P0174 are common Fuel System Lean DTC.
What causes a vacuum tube to crack in an engine?

(Yeah, I searched for them too.)

Do you need a vacuum on a 96 prior?
The 97 and newer have all electronic devices. The 96 and prior have vacuums. That distinction is rarely made in repair posts. The 96 and prior often have vacuum leak failures from the end points being dried out. DO NOT go looking for the vacuum system in your 97 or newer – they aren’t there.
