Hey guys,

I have a fuel leak coming from right behind the throttle on the top of the engine. It has a vacuum hose and fuel hose going into it. The gas nipple is busted and leaking.

My car is at shop right now and the guy is saying it is going to cost $650 to fix. This looks like something you literally plug in and wipe your hands.

Does anyone know the name of the part? It could help me save a good amount of money.

Here is picture:




Thank you for the help

 

gas going through there??? that doestnt sound like its supposed to happen? i thout it was just vapors that are suppoesed to go through there just like mine, imne is a v6 3.1 from 1991 camaro.

 

Thank you for answer green.

I am not sure either way. I am looking for part name so I can look up more info online.

 

hmm let me help you out. TO GOOGLE WE GO!!!

 

hah, I tried a good amount already. Hope you have better luck than me.

I drew a crappy pic of what it looks like unplugged.

 

ok i think i got it. look at google and look at MAP sensor connector. that should be what is troubling you.

hold on actually it is a vaccum hose, not the map sensor if im right. let me check on some more.

 

Im not sure that is it. It is not an electric piece. Only two functions I can see is gas and air.

 

look for this : intake manifold Vaccum hose. ima go take a look at my haynes book brb

 

It seems that using that search is close because at least I can see the part in a lot of picutres.

Here is another angle.

 

Found it! ok so it is called the "Vacuum Harness" connected to the "throttle Body Assembly"

 

Here is what i found. what year is ur camaro to find something more specific

DO NOT LET THEM FIX IT!! that is wayyyy to much. go to a junk yard and take that peice of a camaro and install on yours. 20 dollar fix instead of 650.

 

green you are a good man.
