Does the metal vacuum tube plug directly into the connector or is there a rubber hose between the two?

Thanks.

Someone with far more knowledge should chime in, but in my limited experience with this car any sub-par power supply can promote any number of challenges -- some non-repeatable.

Re: Sequence of sounds at startup

I drove my car yesterday and the fuel pump did not run before starting the car. And the car started fine. 3 times.

I think I remember in the past the pump would run until I started the car.
