Under the intake manifold there is a black box that the vacuume lines go to from the manifold etc. One of the plastic connectors broke inside the line. I was thinking about plastic weld or even super glue. Im sure it will hold...has anyone else had a similiar problem? Any suggestions? I know the obvious like buy a new one. lol.

if it was a clean break u can try to melt it back together though it would be a bitch to pull but u would have to pull it to replace it n e wais. i suggest melting it with a solder gun, basically making a plastic weld. i wouldnt know what glue to use if u chose that method. scilicone is the only thing i feel safe with at those temps. -
I'd recommend hitting a hobby store and getting a small piece of brass or aluminum tubing small enough to fit inside the nipple that broke off. Use some JB weld to repair the break, with the tubing inside to keep you from accidentally sealing the air passage, and you should be fine. The temps under the intake aren't terribly high, and silicone makes a lousy adhesive in situations like this.Comment

I would hit a junkyard and get a replacement box.

Well, it was a clean break. My wife does crafts at home so I raided her stuff. She had a file and some super super glue....I took the box off and filed it a little. Spooged some glue on it and bingo......its fixed. The car is finally running and ready to start driving. Its been sitting for about 10 months. I hope it stays running now. THanks for the replies guys.Comment
