Default vacuum leak

was hearing leak, car ran with a rough idle. found the problem, but need the name of that 2inch rubber hose that is connected to the side of the intake. i guess its part of egr. showed the local auto shops (autozone, oreilly's, etc) but they dont know...they say to go to dealer...well, just need name of hose so i can ask dealer.

thx
marco

Lines that connect to the side of the intake are PCV (passenger side) and EVAP (driver's side). The EVAP is a hard plastic line where it connects to the intake though, not really a hose. PCV is a hose.

Default Fyi

just so u guys know i called and visited the parts dept at the dealerships. and they dont carry that little rubber boot/hose. they carry it as on whole piece which is the whole (think thats the name) pcv tubing that runs from the passenger side, along the valve cover, and to the back of the motor, which runs 95 bucks plus change. that freakin sucks. so i am going to the junk yard to look for one or make my own.

i had the same problem. i bought a pcv valve form autozone then used 3/8 hose to go from the throttle body to the new pcv valve and then put a small hose clamp on it.
