Name that part!
How much more vague could I be?
Ok, so there is a vacuum (?) line that comes off the tpi plenum at the passenger side rear (just forward of that MAP sensor) that runs into a 1-2" long, cone shaped plastic piece that t's off. One rubber line from the "T" goes to the evap canistor, I think. And the other small dia plastic line from the other side of the "T" runs into through the firewall.
While I was mucking with a heater core hose, one of the "T" off lines snapped off.
I think the 3-way plastic piece is a vacuum valve. I dont know what its called and I need the name of it. I think its a vacuum piece with a one-way check valve.
Can I just get a new generic plastic "T" valve or is it important to get an exact OEM part? If so, anyone have the part number?

Sounds like you're describing the check valve to me. You can find them at advance auto parts that I know of, and most likely any other half-way decent auto parts store. Advance had them out in the isles when my friend and I went to get one for his.

That's the HVAC/CC valve. It goes between plenum vacuum, cruise control supply vacuum, and your heater supply vacuum. You need it. I got mine from the stealership.
