Well I'm in the process of replacing my rear valve cover gasket(as you can see from my last post).

To make a long story short i mistakenly tried to disconnect two vacuum hoses that i shouldn't have. The hoses connect to the plastic 'valve' that is bolted to the underside of the intake manifold. Its all plastic and a few hoses. Well I broke off both the plastic connections. Nice huh?

What is this thing? And how easy will it be for me to find a replacement?

I know I sound like an idiot and yes i know its time to get a manual.

Thanks for any help. dave

If they are 2 big pastic chambers, that is the vacuum chambers for the VIRS system.

Yeah there are two large black chambers connected by a hose and then off the pasengers side there is a green colored plastic cylinder with a large black rubber pad around it.

If it is the vacuum chambers I guess I'm going to the dealer $$$$$$$.
Thanks
