long story short guys.. after cleaning part load breather i broke the plastic tube, should i connect both sides with a rubber tubing or replace it??? or any other better idea? its 98 xjr

thanks..]
happy motoring

 

Which tube? I broke the connector tit that the tube to the throttle body connects to the first time I removed the connector. Found a brass thin wall hobby tube at the local ACE Hardware to fit inside the broken parts. JB Weld and it was good as new.

 

Well, As I recall, the tube costs about $30.00. So, If you can get a rubber tube over the end ports and are not trying to win points at an car show, I would use the $5.00 fix.

 

agreed...function as opposed to beauty...and a lighter wallet! When I first acquired the 99 I currently have, I was following the advice of others on the Roadfly forum to get it running again. Of course looking for and clearing any blockage in this tube was on the list. When I got to this, thinking that this would be the one thing that might get me going again I found that someone had beaten me to the punch...and apparently with a chisel or something!
