well yesterday when i was doin my plugs my dad got home when i got to the last 2 and was having trouble with them. well he broke what appears to be a vacuum line. what is the name of this line?

pics.............

oh and its now throwing a code. even though we taped it i guess it didnt get a good enough seal. but i dont have a code reader to read codes and its too damn cold to do the paper clip trick.

Get a peice of rubber vacuum line and splice it in and clamp the ends and you should be good.
code is a vacuum related more than likely

That is your cruise control vacuum line if I am looking at this correctly...

thats what im figuring is that its vacuum related. but it dont affect my truck driving. it has just as much power as it should.

ok so if its broke it wont change how its running. cause it didnt when i drove it home. just i wont have cruise control?

 

[5.0Flareside]

what size hose should i get?

 

[smokey]

I would trim the broke section out and take it along to the parts store and pick a size that is snug fit. It will be a quick fix you could do it in the parking lot even.

I don't think I'd cruise around with it whistling from vacuum, but it won't hurt much for the time being. I usually just go to the parts store and ask for a few 1" pieces of hose to match up to see what size fits best and they'll sell you what you need.

That looks like the same plug(the one next to that hose) my dad forgot to plug up when he replaced the passenger side valve cover.When it wasn't plugged in,the truck ran like crap,and couldn't even get out of the driveway.No power at all.As soon as he found out it wasn't plugged in and plugged it back in,the truck immediately started to run better.

The first picture is your map sensor. Second picture looks like the feed or vacuum supply line.

 

[5.0Flareside]

the first picture that is where the line in the second picture leads from,so is that a vacuum line from the map sensor. if i tis , why does my truck run like nothing is wrong except for when in drive idling (sitting still).

Vacc leaks can be real bastards, but why you ask is usally when in drive your putting the engine under a little more stress then just idling in park which can make the engine pull a vacc leak harder or thats how it was explained to me years ago, I dunoo kinda smashed over here...

 

[5.0Flareside]

well when im driving it runs great but when im at a stop light in drive sitting there idling its kind of missing like a vacuum leak. i went to autozone and made a makeshift vac line but the code keeps popping up and is still doing what it was before when i taped the hose together. idk. guess dealership trip for the vac line is in the future cause nobody carries it.

 

[TexasNomad]

Well while driving you have your RPMs higher then just idling, like I said Vac leaks suck! all most as much as a Liberal sucks..

Vacuum line for your MAP sensor. Just get 3 ft of rubber line and just run it to the tee.

 

[Skandocious]

Yup-- MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor. Replace the hose, get a good seal, then reset your computer by removing the neg battery cable for 5 or 10 minutes.

well anyways i didnt reset the computer but tonight when driving to the movie theater and then to supper and then home the check engine light stayed off. so i think i did it when i got the makeshift vac line.

I was just trying to offer a 2nd (err... 3rd?) opinion about the problem. Not to mention I was the only one who suggested resetting the computer.

Glad you got'er fixed.
