Default LT1 WS6 2 tubes where to go???

Hi I got 2 tubes detected who are not connected.
I got a code who says secondary air injection.
the car is starting not right away. after 2 to 3 sec it starts.

dont know if this has something to do with that 2 disconnected airhoses at the drivers side engine compartment.
both tubeconnectors fit togehter but the one above is far away positioned so i dont know..

please see pics. just bought the car so i am getting to know it first.
its a 96 LT1 WS6 Trans Am.
thanks
Greg

Put the blue elbow in the hole on the side of the intake boot. You will have a bit of performace decrease as you have a vac/unmetered air coming in that hole. As to the second pic, that hose looks to go to the AIR pump/solenoid, however I'm unsure as I don't know the setup on 96' and OBDII cars for the Air injection/pump. Are you getting any SES lights?

yes PO410 Air injection system fault
i got the blue elbow in that hole.

first i thought it goes into the air housing. i had a big open hole on that housing, nothing inside!
i closed it temporarly. on the driver side of the housing.

the other hose from above is hard to tell.
thanks
Greg

Thats the hole to the air pump hose. Should be a hose from that to the air pump. That could be why your throwing a code. Check the air pump and see if has an opening on it for a hose that size. If its there put the hose on.

No Problem man. Say that and knew what it is. I will have to cap mine off since the air pump is gone when I install my ws-6 box.
