Evrv??????

So while I was looking at my oil breather I broke one of the plastice lines that connects to the Electronic Vacuum Regulator Valve, it didnt break all the way so I took some electrical tape to hold it into place put it needs to be replaced I barely touched it and it snapped ... What would be the best way to fix it 1. try to find another plastic thing to replace it or 2. can I use a piece of vacuum hose to replace the brittle plastic one???? If I can use a vacuum hose is it 4mm or smaller ??? Just need to know so I can :git: .... Thanks

Re: Evrv??????

Are you talking about the EGR solenoid (drivers rear) or the wastegate solenoid (bolted to turbo) electrical tape would hold boost and if its the wastegate solenoid broken do NOT go WOT to until you fix it or bypass it (bypass it will make 8-9psi) If the wastegate vacuum lines are broken, at WOT it will make boost until the Engine connecting rod breaks or Piston Cracks/Melts.

No its not wasre gate selenoid here is some pics of what Im talking about.... It located right next to the MAP sensor...

Focus Grasshopper, focus. And resize! Reminds me of a Teddy Bear. BIG and fuzzy. :tup:

Can you give us and sharper and smaller pics?

Re: Evrv??????

ahh my eyes!!! Im guessing it's this

If so then yeah that's the egr soleniod and that hard plastic line you snapped is simply a vacuum line that can be replaced with any standard vacuum line.. I would like to suggest though. Replace all the vaccum lines especially the ones to the other little black box right next to that one which would be your map sensor as any little leak pin whole or not will cause rich/lean conditions and help your idle be that much more like shit... because most likely you may have one or two small leaks in other places because these trucks's age, most factory lines tend to become weak etc.. you get the point and make sure you get good silcone vacuum lines so they with stand the heat etc.

Yeah!! Thats the one I have new silicone vacuum line on the way so fixing wnt be a problem (I hope)... What size line should I use?? Will 4mm work or do I need something smaller???

Re: Evrv??????

Its probably 4mm, replace all you vacuum lines, while your at it. I can see you have peiced together originals. The map sensor/FPR and the boost control vacuum lines are the most important one to replace.

Thats what I was planning on doing I have some new vacuum line ordered and should be here by FRI. I just wanted to know if that plastic piece was a vacuum line I could replace with a hose and you said I could so it's all good thanks for the help :tup:
