need a tube/hose mine broke
Ok sorry I dont have a picture but when I took off my throttle body to clean it a tube connected underneath broke (several times), It was plastic and I followed it back , it split into 2 places 1) tube went to the charcoal canister. 2) went next to the passenger side of the distributor, near the vavle cover. In this area there was another tube similar to this and went to the EGR valve so I am pretty sure this is for the EGR valve and I need a new one. When I called Pontiac b/c I figured they would know they wouldent even let me explain what the part i needed was, they kept saying I need a name or part number. Can someone please help me. even a picture of the passenger side of the valve cover near the distributor would help, my camera is broke. When I searched for this/ pics nothing came up and all the pics were to far away to see.

Not sure this will help, it's throttle body ported vacuum to the EGR solenoid, and vapor canister, and it's probably not made anymore.

That sounds like it and I know with my luck it isnt made anymore, is there a way to rig it up so my egr valve will still work, i just bought a new one and dont just want to throw away $50 i spent on it.

If it's the tubing that's busted you should find some in a salvage yard. If it's the piece that's part of the throttle body, it's just a piece of tubng press fitted in the hole, use a pair of pliers and pull it out by twisting ,and turning as you pull on it, and press fit another piece into the hole, or drill it out, if the new piece doesn't fit tight use liquid metal to secure it.
