Default *Update* - found the break. It was one of those green T fittings.

Do you think AZ or Pepboys have T-fittings?

Default Went to O'Reilleys

and found some tubing and some t connectors.
I fixed up the broken part and cleared the codes. Guess we'll see. Might have to replace all the hoses since they look like crap. Where's a source for the braided hosing?

Then I went to AZ and scored 7 qts of German Castrol 0W-30! It still exists.

Default I bought about 6 feet of 1/4" silicone hose, so as the braided crap breaks,

I'll replace it with much better stuff that will probably last the life of the car (it has 85k miles on it now) vs. the OEM braided hoses.

Default So 1/4" is the size I should get? I ended up seeing all crazy sizes

like 7/32, 7/64, 5/32. No 1/8 or 1/4. And of course, not metric. I know the ID is supposed to be 3.5mm.

Default CLose enough so it's a tight fit. It's vacuum line, so nothing is really flowing per se. The air

will get through.
