  • Rubber tube that goes into the throttle body, what's it called?

    Sorry for the dumb questions lately, I promise I'm slowly learning.

    I took off my throttle body last night to clean it and there was a rubber hose thing attached. I went to pull it off and noticed it had a crack right down the middle. When I pulled it off, I noticed the whole thing was split.

    I was searching online, but I can't find a definite name. Is it the PVC they're talking about when they mention PVC delete? The reason I wanna know is so I can grab one from Autozone on the way home to get my car back on the road.

    I'll add a picture of where it attaches to also so you can get an idea of the part I'm talking about.

    Thank you for the help.

    That goes to all the evap crap on the passenger side. Make sure you don't get any leaks there it will cause vacuum problems.

        Just get the right size vacuum hose and clamp from checker etc. and run it back to the little black evap box.

          Mine cracked when I messed with all that, I went to autozone and they had a very similar piece. Just bring it in somewhere and match it up as close as you can.

            I've personally found that the autozone replacements for that part tend to crack pretty quickly (on the order of a few months for me).

              I've been through 3 of them now; first one cracked and I ziptied it back on and put silicone over it and that worked fine until I had to take it off again. 2nd one just cracked randomly (guessing it wasn't the right one). 3rd one is still on the car and rigged up with another larger elbow going over it; ghetto, but it gets the job done. on occasion I will get a slight leak at idle, but it usually goes away in a minute or so; just have to live with going down the road idling at 2500rpm....If you find a good replacement, let us know.

                I've searched 2 auto-zone's and a pep-boy's. Nothing.

                This is driving me crazy.
