4.0 carbon issues. any emission gurus out there?

NAPA sells an entire vacuum line hose and tubing kit pretty cheap for the Renix jeeps.
 
ill definatley change them all out evetually but no parts stores around here has them in stock for like 50 miles. napa,autozone,advance or oreillys.. but i got some vacuum line to experiment with i stared at engine again for a little whiel today trying to figure out where that bottom plug on that valve/fitting is supposed to go and i pulled anothe vac line running to the drivers side fender i think to the egr, not sure but it was Getting no vacuum and i eventually found a peice of vacuum line shaped in a U like the other one i plugged up and it was like finding the last puzzle peice it fit perfect and i think i got all my problems solved out.. also ran some seafoam through to clear some of that carbon thats been building up for so long.

I need to go drive this jeep back by the guy i bought it from last week and show him how its running now cause of a few vacuum lines...
