Quick Vacuum line question

On the "G" solenoid when I went into this project, the hose came from benind it and came up, but just had the cap that's on some of the other solenoids on the other end. The hose was just a few inches long. I just put the cap at the end of the solenoid instead of putting a hose on it. Would that make a difference?
Edit: help if I left the diagram to look at http://www.turborx7.com/images/Techn...e_diagram2.jpg

You mean the little filter? I think Mazda did that just for an interferance problem - with the filter on the solenoid, it could hit something. At least if it's what I'm thinking of .

Take a look at this diagram:

It will make it a little more clear for you (there is a check valve there for Automatic FD's... manuals do not have the check valve so you can block it off anywhere on the back of the solenoid).

Yes, that's not a problem. It's actually a stopper, not a filter (so that there isn't a vacuum leak created). If it doesn't block air from escaping the solenoid, then it's not the right part to go on there.

It was the same piece that was on the end of the original hose. Blocker makes sence. Thanks Mahjik.
