I recently found a vacuum leak on the 90 deg rubber piece going from my PCV vacuum line which gos into my throttle body. After replacing the piece today I have noticed that the rubber hose is completely collapsed. I then removed the plastic hose to check for clogs and there were none. Any ideas?

 

had the same leak, fuel to lean, replaced mine with a small coolent hose (90deg) works fine

 

How would lean fuel make a hose fitting collapse?

 

BINGO! Just found the write up on my dilemma.

 

need me to get you the piece from work?

 

Actually if you dont mind checking that would be great. I pulled one from the junk yard and seems to be a really soft rubber which collapses really easy. I was up at Krug Ford and they wanted me to buy the entire vacuum set up for like 38 bucks, but i noticed that the elbow is a much harder rubber which would do perfect. So yeah let me know what you come up with.

 

ok, text me tomorrow, because today is my day off, and ill get you a price

 

Sweet thanks Justin
