I believe it was under the distributor. I seem to have broken off one of the plastic hoses and I can't remove it. What is this so I can order a new one?

 

EGR solinoid

 

Ok do the vacum lines come out? I tried to pull on them and they don't budge. I assume they don't come with a new egr solenoid.

 

The lines will come out and the 2 hole 90deg connector will come off.

 

I have never tried to remove those plastic lines from the rubber elbow. I've always just removed the rubber elbow/block from the solenoid.

As for repairing the broken line, my fix has been to get a piece of vacuum hose that fits TIGHLY to the plastic line and splice it back together. At that size, the vacuum hoses come in 1/32" increments. So, if 1/8" is too tight and 1/4" is too loose, you have choice of 5/32, 3/16, and 7/32 to get the perfect fit.

 

replacement hard vacuum line can be had at AZ and the like. with a little heat it can be bent into shape to replace your broken pieces, just ensure that the heat and bending do not close it off.

The old plastic will come out of the rubber connector. If it's broken off flush, screw an appropriately sized screw into the hard plastic line to get a grip on it to pull it loose.
