I have two hoses that need to be replaced. One is about three inches, L shaped. The second one, right below, is falling apart but runs down and looks like into a plastic tube. Before I start to remove can anyone help me ID these two hoses.

Can the small L shaped still be purchased?

I know the bottom one is 1/4", but before I pull it off I wanted to make sure that it could easily come off the plastic tube. Don't want to make more work for myself.

I included a picture. Thanks!!!

It would help to know what year your car is. Looks like an LT1, to me, but slightly different hardware than my '96.

You have the breather hose detached from your Throttle Body. If the "L shaped" hose you are referring to is the one below it with the other end attached to a metal tube running aft, above your valve cover, that's the water outlet tube from your throttle body. Don't know if the OEM tube is available but it's a 3/8" tube and some parts stores stock 3/8" tubing L's. If that's the "L" you mean, it will probably have a little water running to it so put some paper towels around it if you disconnect it.

Or... that 3/8" new hose running past this side of the throttle body looks like it could be a "throttle body bypass" tube. Does the other end run to the "T" at your radiator? (Many folks in warmer climates bypass the throttle body heater tubes... I did.) If that's the case, it will be connected to that metal tube running along your valve cover and the 3/8" L-shaped tube is going nowhere.

I don't know which other tube you're referring to as "falling apart" but on my '96, the plastic gizmo there just behind the throttle body on the passenger side is a device to vent the fuel vapor canister (mine's a different shape on the '96). One of the hoses (probably the one you're referring to if connected to that device) goes nowhere... it's just a vent. Check to see if the "plastic tube" it's attached to goes anywhere. It may just hang down as a vent tube.

Would like to be more help... Perhaps if you edit the subject to indicate the year of your car, you'll get more response.

 

Thanks for the help.

I do have the TB bypass done on the car. But it is the two hoses attached to the black box next to the arrow.

 

Evaporative emission canister purge solenoid valve assy,i'm a tpi guy but since this solenoid is for evaporative cannister the tube is supposed to go there

 

Awesome that is it. looking at the solenoid right now on advanced website.

My concern is with the hose does it need a special "L" shaped hose or will any simple vacuum hose work. It looks like the one end is larger then the other. Don't want to touch it too much since it is breaking already.
