There should be no holes in the line sucking in air.

I have this same issue. It got so bad that the car wouldn't start. I wrapped it with duck tape, but maybe I need to replace it.

The vacum leaks you guys have will set off SES lights and cause your car to run lean.

Just go to a parts store, pull off one of those hoses and ask them for that size but in heater hose tubing. Its stronger and made for higher temps.

Peace,
Craig.
