Throttle Body vacuum connector

[yekimmrt]

Does anybody have a PN for the U shaped step down vacuum connector coming off of the throttle body or the similar one going to the EVAP, I think? Mine crumbled after a TB cleaning and I've got it rigged up with a T, vacuum cap, and some 3/8 fuel line. I'll be replacing my lifters in the coming months and I'd like to put new vacuum lines in to replace all the rigged up ones I have, but I can't find those particular connectors anywhere. Thanks! 2001 GTP btw.

A dealership is the only place that will have that line.

Most just make there own vacuum lines to make it simple.

Haha I went to oreillys and told them I need a hose the same length paid $5 and slapped it on the car

Gmpartsdirect would have it

I was browsing GMparts, couldn't find it... thought a PN might make it easier. I've got a 4 dollar job on there now, glad to find out I'm not alone.

[Scottydoggs]

in my pic is 50 cents.

Call dealer...ask for PN. Bam

I got mine from the dealership for $16.
I had to have them pull up a parts explosion, then pointed it out to them.

50 cents. why pay 16 bucks for the same thing?

[Twizted 1]

Because I was narrowing down leaks and when you have 3-4 pieces of rubber tubing put together there's just that many more places to have a leak.

it dont leak. been there for over a year now. its only 2 pieces, a fat one on the TB to a thinner one pushed inside it, then to the factory plastic line.

[Twizted 1]

easy grasshopper. Never said it did.
I just didn't want to add another place to have a leak in these damn demons.

idk, in my book 50 cents wins over 16 bucks at a ass raping dealer.

[Twizted 1]

I understand. But I was pulling my damn hair out trying to get to the bottom of a lean code. So I went back with everything the way it was meant to be.
Solved my issue. So from now on I'll put the factory spec lines for the vacuum system.

Plastic isn't any better than rubber!

Ok. And your point is?
The OP is looking for the stock replacement. So was I.
If you want to use rubber, use it.
Different strokes for different folks.

Update...my rigged up autozone T's with a cap, 3/8 fuel and 7/16 vacuum lines do, in fact, leak. Found it with carb cleaner. Back to the drawing board.

[Scottydoggs]

thats because fuel line is not vac line, buy 3/8 vac tube.

[yekimmrt]

The fuel line actually worked out ok, the leak was on the cap of the tee. I just shoved the other two pieces together, it's good now.
