scandalo Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Topic says it. Reading many threads and getting many answers but nothing concrete.The situation is as such:-No MPG loss apparent-No performance loss apparent-No visible or audible signs of air leak (but am not willing to rule that out)-Replaced fuel pump to filter hose with a basic injector hose with a slightly larger diameter (cheaper than the 100 dollar dealer alternative)-Vacuum loss at cold start with symptoms of stallingWondering if it is the air pump/sas or something more abstract.I may have left something out.

scandalo Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Dave, you get the cookie. That hose is torn from the nipple to the elbow. I don't have time to see where it leads so I need to know if it is a special hose or I can rig something cheap.EDIT: Nevermind. I read a little more in depth and realized it was just a elbow to one of the plastic lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
