Default Help identify vacuum hose


Hello. I finally found where my vacuum leak was coming from on my 99 convertible. But I am trying to find the small hose on the internet to buy and can't seem to find it. I tried using a regular hose and that isn't fully sealing because the original has a lip on one end. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It seems to come off the front passengers side of the intake.



I put new hose in but it isn't sealing correctly

Yeah, check this out but maybe confirm with them, no pic so we don't know for sure

I think it is the hose going from the intake to the pcv valve. Correct?

The PCV hose connects to the intake manifold just aft of the TB. Here's is the vacuum line schematic for a early NON LS6 engine and a picture of the pluming behind the manifold that frequently deteriorates and leaks:







Here is the vacuum schematic for a late model LS1 and LS6:

Flange end goes on manifold nipple:

That short section of hose with the flange molded onto it is not available as a separate item from GM. You can fab your own if need be.

Btw, CLEAN YOUR ENGINE COMPARTMENT!!
