A few weeks ago when I was changing the oil on my '86 4kcsq, I noticed a

loose hose from under the engine. It was only visable with the oil filter

removed and it looked like it was suppose to connect to the exhaust

manifold. The hose is about 1.5" in diameter and is a flexible fabric type

material (I really didn't get that good of a look at it). I connected the

hose back to where I think it's suppose to go, but I think its come loose

again. I looked in my very handy Hayes repair manual (yes, that's a joke)

and didn't see anything about this hose and it's purpose. Maybe something

for the heater?

There's a hose off the exhaust manifold that captures warm air and directs it
to the intake at the base of the air filter housing; that opening is
themostatically controlled, and gives warm air for a bit to speed warmup.
