Default 98 XJ Vacuum leak elbow

Hi all.

I have an issue with the elbow on the intake manifold for the leak detection pump. It is cracked badly and I have not been able to find a replacement. Leads or parts numbers would be very helpful

Thank you

Ed

Any chance it is the lower one in this picture?

Just the rubber elbow?
Dorman 46022 works here. Really for a Ford but it does the job.

I don't know of any part numbers, but I did replace the elbow on my fuel pressure regulator with some vacuum pipe. It has to take a bit of a wider curve to prevent a kink but does the job perfectly.

I see it's a much larger elbow than I had in mind.

You could be talking about what he needs.
I am just guessing here which one he is talking about.
This is why I wish people would show pictures.
On my '00 there are three off the side of the intake manifold.
Just got done going through this on another forum so the info about
this one was handy.
I never traced any of where those three vacuum lines off the side of my intake goes.
Not a clue so I could be talking out my ***. LOL.

Not the ones in the back, it is the one on top forward of the throttle body. Dorman does not seem to have one that fits.

Can't really visualize that.
Thinking a '98 is set up different from my '00 then.
Going to need a picture.

So it is set up different then mine.
And it is just the elbow you are looking for?
Thinking that elbow I linked still might work.
It is kind of a sharp bend but a piece of hose might work there.
The problem is sometimes the plastic line diameter is different
then the nipple diameter on the manifold. Too much to get a proper fit.

It looks like the upper one will work small diameter about 5/32 to 1/4.
The lower is far to big.

There's an elbow on the manifold I replaced as an item from Advance Auto.

Yep. Fergit you saw it. It was a snip from the 1998 part catalog showing the vacuum harness assembly. More hindrance than help so I edited it out.
