LOL.

Pop the rubber plug out of the TB. Get the remaining piece out of the plug. Glue, without covering the hole in the tube, the tube back in to the plug.

Installation is a reversal of removal.
Didnt see it until I rechecked everything my bad. Does the rubber just pull out or do I need to remove the screw first?

No screw. Just pops out with a flat blade screwdriver.

I actually used a tiny extractor to remove the broken tube from the rubber. A really small wood screw would work. Mine is "cobbed" in at least 3 or four pieces with both flexible and rigid line. (small vacuum tube fits in the rigid).
You can heat and bend the ridged, but keep the Bic, way away, it will heat up fast/easy.

Wish I woulda thunk of that I ended up ripping the part that goes into the tb and put a piece of rubber hose that was the same size in the hole and breaking the hard line so I could have a long piece to fit in the rubber then added a piece of rubber to reconnect the line.

It's really crucial that is right...doesn't leak. The MAP just needs manifold vac. You could "T" off that (larger) line coming off rear of the TB, (that goes back and around), than just plug the hole in the TB. Or maybe hit the JY and find another plug and more MAP tube...

Just, that really matters. Needs a dependable, tight, seal.

It might be "loaded up" from running rich.

I moved my vac fitting for the MAP to the hole in the manifold left by moving the IAT to the air cleaner housing. Tapped the hole in the TB and plugged it.

Go drive it like ya stole it for a bit and see if it clears out.

Ah! You tapped it. I had wondered what you did there. I waz thinking a neoprene cork from ACE hardware. Whenever I look for a cork it's always the size right in-between what's available.

How did you get it to seal in the iat hole? I put a lil silicone around it. Doesnt sound to be leaking thankfully. Good to know I can just tap into any vacuum line. Also can I use the rubber tube I used as a patch to replace the whole vac line or will it collapse from the vacuum pressure

I threaded a vacuum fitting into the old IAT hole.

You want your MAP line to run downhill to the TB or manifold from the MAP with no low spots.

You should be okay. Make sure it's tight at the throttle body. Lower hole.

Was thinking of putting it in the IAC location and moving the IAC to the air box. Jw the vacuum operated flap in my air box does it have a constant vac the would cause my idle to go up when I remove it? I want to do a cone filter in place of the stock filter and trying to figure out how to do it.
