Wanna know whats this? and Where can i get this hose?

Under my hood there's a short hose that goes from the oil to in between the TB and the intake, i dont know how else to explain it...i got pics here, hope they're helpful. THAT hose broke, u could see it in the pic, where can i find that?? and then theres a mechanism white box under the drivers side, all the way under where the sterring wheel is at and u look where the bunch of cables are at...that mechanism box makes noise every time i turn the ignition to ACC i think, not when the car is on. I wanna know what that is??? thanks!

There is a plastic elbow that broke...the hose is OK...just buy the 90 degree nipple from a dealer..they are $20 or less

The other is one of the air mix actuators...what exactly is it doing??

I think thats the flapper door to control Cabin Air Circulation.

Hmm, if that plastic piece breaks ... only thing u can do is replace it, and that whole piece cost quite a lot buying new so u better head over to a local junk yard for it.

Just a question, how the *beep* u break it ?
