rogue0117 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I was replacing the vacuum hose connecting the air box to I believe the IAC when this snapped. I didn't notice it right away and after installing the hose I started the car and it died right away. After looking around this was the only thing I saw out of place, and I replaced it with some regular hose but it still won't start. My question is does anyone know what this tube is and if i need a hard plastic replacement or if something else is wrong and the soft hose is fine. Thank you ahead of time for your answers.

johnegg Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 are you talking about the small vac hose with the ''TEE'' that leads to the inline filter / check valve? or are you talking about the larger hose with the new hose clamps on it? or something else? if you don't put it back together like it was you will have trouble. there should be a vac hose diagram on the inside of the hood. you symptoms sound like the large hose with the hose clamps is not connected to the black plastic intake tube from the MAF / air filter. it sound like you have a very large vac leak.

kurtis9813 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 That broken thin hose off the tee conector slides right in to the small metal inlet(copper/brass color little less than an inch long) right off the intake manifold. Take the rest if the hose off and go to the auto parts store and buy some of it, probably sold by the foot. If you break the tee connector trying to get it off they sell those too. This small intake leak usually make the car stall like that but is still possibly the issue. Check to make sure the idle air control valve hose is tightly on both ends(if this is unplugged it would cause the car to stall immediately after startup.

kurtis9813 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Also if you unplugged the idle air control valve plug to make room make sure it is plugged all the way back on. If you unplugged anything else check that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancerswimmer89 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 yes, chances are that whole hose is old and dry rotted. replaced all of mine for less than $5, and my rough idle went away. I remember it caused stalling when i tried to apply the gas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisty Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 http://i61.tinypic.com/2eowv43.jpg heres a view of mine from above. i have other angles, i snapped all the pics before i tore everything out. my guess is cracked hose causing leak, or incorrect hook ups.
