Broken line from Throttle Body to ERG (Page 1/1)
abitsma OCT 06, 02:18 AM
When working on the Saturday project Fiero, I accidently broke one of these lines that goes from the Throttle Body to the ERG (At least I'm pretty sure that's what it is).
Where do I find replacement hard lines for this?
I tried poking around the internet but it seemed useless.
Is this something I can get a local autoparts place to do?
Should I repair it instead?
Is there a website that has these?
Thanks guys.

Just connect the two pieces with a very short length of appropriate sized rubber hose.

It's EGR... Exhaust Gas Recirculation

Yes, you can 'repair it' as noted....

Yes, however not for the four cylinder and not separately as the V6 vacuum lines are found in a kit:

The plastic lines don't really serve any purpose (above normal vacuum lines) other than to make the engine bay look a little bit less crowded, and hopefully clean it up a bit. They're molded lines, and they do look nice. but if you're just trying to get it to run nicely, you can simply replace that entire thing with a length of vacuum hose.

Aside from finding a rubber hose with the correct inside diameter, you can also slide a piece of shrink tubing onto the line, butt the ends together and shrink it. I've used that method on the other end of the same line and on the line from the V6 MAP sensor to the fuel pressure regulator.
