Title: Vacuum Connecter off Throttle Body Clip GONE
Post by: jheiv on November 21, 2003, 06:25:13 AM
I seem to have lost the clip that holds the vaccum connecter on my throttle body.  Now the vacuum connecter will always slip out and cause me to stall, or to shake or my RPMs to rev.  Any ideas about a replacement?  or a quick fix?
Thanks in advance.

The clip get brittle and I don't think they are availible. I used a thin solid wire and wrapped it around the larger vac line then pulled it foward and looped it under a neighboring bolt. It works just fine and doesn't look bad especially when twisted together.

Both of my TGPs had zip-ties there when I bought them.  It's common for the clip to break.  I've never had a problem with the zip-ties.  8)

I us a coat hanger that I bend into a wire clip. Not as tacky as some other methods, but what ever works really.

I have the same problem, the set keeps popping out and giving me a code 33, 44, and 45 all at once.  Gonna try some of the fixes this weekend.
