IIRC, the small line for the ZJ was about eight bucks at the dealership.

You're talking about the bigger one though? In that case you're sucking raw
air into the intake, for one, and you're sucking raw air into the valve
cover if the small line to the intake manifold is still working, for two.
This isn't the worst thing that could happen, but it's not real good either.

You're talking about the bigger one though? In that case you're sucking raw
air into the intake, for one, and you're sucking raw air into the valve
cover if the small line to the intake manifold is still working, for two.
This isn't the worst thing that could happen, but it's not real good either.

Re: good thing to clean out engine
 

I am talking about both of the tubes, one going to the intake and the other
going to the air box, I suppose I just need to take a visit to the local
scrapyard and see if I cant find one that is still complete.
If I can even find one at all!

Re: good thing to clean out engine
 

If you can't find one at the junkyard, they're really not that expensive
to pick up at an auto parts store. Or, just buy the correct size hose
and cut them to the correct size yourself, it's even cheaper that way.
This is a '93, correct? I want to say 5/8" should do the trick,
although I believe i have a short length of larger hose that acts as a
coupling between the elbow and the hose.

Just wondering, since you don't have the hoses, do you just have empty
holes in the top of your valve cover? Or are the elbows still there,
just with no hose attached?
