i am guessing ur not kidding. well anywayz. all vaccum lines are under ur hood. open em up and u see all the thin grey tubes coming from the left hand side black box? that black box is called vaccum control box which is part of ur exmission control and u see all the other small thin numbered grey hoses on ur intake manifold near and behind ur fuel rail? they are all ur precious, fucking vaccum lines. they are a bitch to find a leak in.

the vaccum lines control different parts of ur car as in the diaphram in ur distributor is controled by ur vaccum. ur pwr steering is controlled by vaccum, ur brakes are controlled by vaccum, ur fuel return to the charcoal canister is controlled by vaccum. and basically what they do is, they control and maintain pressure on ur system newer cars dont have em. so dont worry. Only the 4g was the last car to have em i guess. and i am tlaking about the accords.
