Title: Looking for Vacuum Harness / Alternative
Post by: Fred931 on August 11, 2012, 09:41:35 PM
So I lost the original plastic harness in a shop class about a year ago, the clip that holds all the lines in place, and of course now all the lines come off at WOT.

If I can't find someone who has it and I can pay for one, are there any other fixes I can try in its place?

you wont find one. Just get creative and zip tie them on. You will end up making a ziptie contraption with about 3-4 ties. I was happy mine was still intact and when i finally had to remove it, it broke easily.

Remove the vacuum harness from the throttle body.  Clean the harness and inside the throttle body best you can( I usually just spray some cleaner on them).  Apply a small amount of rtv sealant on the rubber harness.  Insert into the throttle body and let dry.  If your in a rush you can warm up the car and the rtv will set up faster.

Adam's idea works or you could just throw a zip tie on to secure it.

One night at Cordova I popped my lines beating a colbolt ss was about to call it a night when I kicked a set of ear plugs on a string  :icon_idea: picked them up and made another three passes.

vote number two for the sealant and zip tie.
