Help, identify this catheter tube?
This forum has been so helpful. Thanks to all of the knowledgeable contributors. I'll get to the point. '02 Coupe. Like the title says, there is what appears to be a catheter looking tube that runs through the wire harness in the front that looks like it runs along with the wires that plug into the air pump. The air pump was destroyed in an accident and the tube is severed. I'm in the process of putting it back together and I'm stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is a vacuum controlled valve for the air pump. It opens the air tube coming out of the pump. I really have no idea what it looks like but it's either in the pump or just after it.

There's a good picture of the AIR pump and vacuum valve in post #31 of the thread link below. The small plastic vacuum line is connected to the vacuum actuator on the AIR pump.

While We're on the Subject............
Who knows what the abreviation A.I.R. in "A.I.R. pump" stands for?
Some of you old farts out there should remember it from the mid 60's, when emissions controls began to appear on American cars.
The first person with the correct answer will receive a half used tube of Preparation H for a prize! (just pay for postage and handling)
