Replacing Thermostat...
Okay I'm replacing my thermostat, and I broke something, and I don't know what it is. This is an L98 engine. Attached to one of the bolts that holds the thermostat housing in place is a wire housing, and a flat black thing with two tiny plastic lines coming out of it. I broke those two tiny plastic lines. They just snapped when I removed the thermostat housing. Does anybody know what they are?

Well i finished the install and left 'em broken. The car's running fine. The EGR Solenoid only concerns emissions, right? So the car should run fine without it? It seems to be running fine now.

Sounds like the vacuum lines from the EGR solenoid.

I bought a bunch of that exact vacuum line at Pepgirls. If you can't find any let me know how much you need and I'll mail it to you.
I've snapped those damn lines too. What I've done is to take a roll pin that fits inside of the vacuum line and the connect the two broken pieces together
