Self explanatory I guess. What the heck are these connectors and hoses, and why the hell are they burnt up? And why did they burn up?

Please help

Looks like someone stuffed a bit of braided hose in the broken elbow connectors......

those are the 90 deg plastic hose barbs that connect the three large vacuum hoses to the intake accordion just before the throttle body. Seen them get brittle and snap, but never burnt looking like that

Look again....not burnt...that is braided hose

> MAO <

dannobre is right, someone broke them and put some hoses inside as a band-aid.

Correct, between the TB and the accordian hose.

What's supposed to go there? This car is bone stock and looks unmolested from birth, to think these were something jimmy rigged doesn't seem right, but not saying they aren't.

Some part no.'s would be awesome so I can spend some money with Rosenthal

Oh, and more importantly, what is their function? The car seems to run fine, but if they've been like that since I've bought it, it could not be running fine, it's all I've known it to be.

really. what would have been wrong with helping him trouble shoot it himself by learning to identify some bits instead of feeding him the answer?

same to you guys



thats exactly what it is.

those are cheap to replace at the dealership.
buddy of mine snapped one on my intake a few years ago

i can understand Jedi not getting what it was, last time he wrenched on his own car it was a hot wheel.

They probably leak, which will make the idle fubar
