Help Identifying a part

[TheEdgeofSanity]

well car's running like absolute crap and I know whats wrong but not the name of a part. Its something to do with the vaccume system and it has a big crack in it which is allowing a loss of suction.

anyway, here's a pic of the part i need identified and how my car was running until i did a quick fix with some masking tape.

ya it's the PCV hose, i don't know what they call it, it's just a.. 90 degree thing

haha. well i've been to murray's, advance auto parts, and pep boys. all 3 said that i'll have to go to the dealership to get the part. i really wish i didn't have to because the dealerships rape their customers when it comes to parts. i bet its gonna run me nearly $20 just for that little peice of rubber.

You might be able to get something else.

It won't be stock, but it will work. Maybe a little piece of hose or something.

I had a vacuum tee on the front bottom left of the UIM break. It just rotted away and split. GM doesn't even stock the part :eek: Just got a vacuum tee to replace it.

Just an idea ;)

You could always try a wrecker's yard. Just look for any vehicle that has that engine in it.

I used a piece of flexible vacuum hose slid over both ends of the pcv hose and valve of the proper size. Any place will carry it.

Mine did the samething about 3 months ago, had to get it from the dealer, it was like 9 bucks.

I also wraped the elbow with electrical tape so I could get the dealer, worked pretty damn good.

any pcv hose should work off any 3400 or 3100
