What is the technical name for this part? 
I have a friend at work with a 99 T/A. This piece coming out of the front of the intake manifold has a hole in it and it is whistling. His car has been running like crap. Is there a way to repair this part or does he have to buy a new one. I explained the part to a guy at a dealerships' parts department and he said that piece was $75.
What is the best plan of action? Thanks. Last edited by 99-LS1-SS; 06-17-2004 at 05:37 PM.

The guy at the dealership seemed to think that you had to buy the whole piece that goes back to the back of the engine. Is that true?

you shouldn't need clamps.
the elbow (what you pointed to), PCV valve, and hose are all separate parts. If just the elbow is damaged, replace it, not the PCV valve (which I assume is what the mech. you spoke to thought you were referring to). Shouldn't be 75 bones for a 2 inch rubber hose.

All good ideas. But I have a question. What that thing on your throttle cam? The little boxy thing with the cable running through it. I have cruise and traction control, and I don't ever recall having seen anything like that on my throttle body.

this car does not have tcs/asr when you have tcs and cruise its controlled by another module on the pass side of the engine compartment, cylinder type shape only one cable goes to throttle body
