    So I decided to clean my throttle body, and as I was pulling stuff apart to get to it, I forgot about the little hose in the back. Seems i broke the lconnection completely. Not sure what it is. Dumb mistake I completely forgot about it. Can anyone tell me what it is and how I might fix it? 20200926_135123.jpg 20200926_135126.jpg

    Its the vacuum line for the fuel pressure regulator if I recall, it does matter.

    I usually fix these by drill it out and sticking a new vacuum fitting in and epoxying it.

    You can also check and post ads looking for a stock intake, there are plenty out there.

    I usually find a drill bit of the correct diameter and place it in the hole until the epoxy hardens. Helps to keep the hole clear.

    Hahaha .... how bout this one... story time . We sold our first house to buy a new townhome... we had 2 months before new home was ready. 2 boys, 3 and 5 at the time. Went out with me brother atv riding and ended up having it flip backwards and land on me”another story in itself” so I lacerated my liver to the point I about internally bled to death. I was medivac’d and spent 2 days in icu, 5 days in hospital... and back to work in 2 months.... so I sucked that up as long as possible with the wifey!!!
