    I'm in the middle of doing a LIM gasket replacement. As part of that job, I had to remove the evaporator solenoid and tubing that runs across the front top of the engine.

    There's a rubber piece that two of the rigid plastic tubes go into, and in turn goes to a single nipple on the throttle body. That rubber piece is cracked, and I'm hoping someone has a part number for it. thanks.

    Evidently your friendly local auto parts stores don't carry much vac stuff anymore. You can get packets of multiple size parts, but you cant buy individual pieces. Plus, they carry only three sizes of vacuum hose. And they didn't carry reducers. By the time I had bought the various pieces needed, I would have spent over $10. But I couldn't buy what I needed. I was pretty disgusted.

    So I went to the dealer and bought the whole hose assembly. $20. Oh well, at least it looks original!

    you dont have to have it exact. I used normal vacuum line(that will slide tightly over TB tube) into a splitter/reducer, and then just put tiny vacuum line from the reducer to the normal hard plastic line that goes over the motor.

    the stock line connectors get brittle over time, as I am sure you know now..lol
