After spending way too much time on a TPS, I am not the final stage of an idle problem.

I broke an airline while taking the throttle body off. It was super brittle and snapped. I went to O'Reilly's and Advance and neither one knew how to replace it. I'd rather not go to a junk yard because it will more than likely be equally as brittle. Anyone have a good suggestion?

Also I have not been able to remove the end of the line. It seems like it should just pop off. How do I remove it?

Thanks in advance.

I'm starting to think the tube is a CCV. Still curious on how to remove it (please tell me the valve cover doesn't have to come off). And how do I buy one.

They get hard and brittle. I had to cut mine off, but I also did it when I was replacing the vc gasket.

If you're talking about the elbows on top of the cover, that's the CCV (Crankcase Ventilation). They get brittle when they get old and you'll probably drop some bits into the VC. Might as well take it off, do the valve cover mod (search here for it) and replace the CCV system. I don't know the part numbers right off hand but Napa usually carrys the parts (or at least they can order them).
If you're talking about the small tubing, you can buy a small roll of it and the fittings at most parts stores.

Thanks for the input. I found it pretty easily on NAPA's website now that I know whats its called (PCV system elbow).
