Does anyone know where to get those little plastic vaccum lines. Anyone replace them with something else? I'm pretty sure they are all for the emission stuff. A lot of mine are cracked and taped back together.

You can buy the lines at AutoZone or any other parts store. I replaced mine with normal rubber vac lines. It seems to work better for me. The high temps under the hood make the plastic lines very brittle over time.

I've tried 3 local part stores and none of them have any that small. They've all said to try the dealer.

I saw them at AutoZone, Advanced Auto Parts, Pep Boys. Try a franchise auto parts store. The lines are pretty cheap. I did buy mine at AutoZone but; never used them.

I bought all from a local NAPA, hoses (plastic, and all new connections).

I guess if you want them that bad. You can order them online. Here is just one size but; AutoZone has all sizes and connectors.

Good Luck

I believe the correct size is 3/32". AutoZone has them but they were cheaper at Pep Boys.
