Or is there a way to just replace the connector, it seems stuck in place? Anyone know what they call that connector?





Front hose to upper manifold




Connector was loose




Finally snapped off

you could try to fasten it back in somehow. you could find a used intake manifold or buy a new one. its about $200 oem. also these intake manifolds are 2 pieces. which make it a little easier depending on what you consider easier. i can take one off in 5 minutes if needed.

here is a website the shows the intake manifold. it doesnt look like that piece is sold by its self.

It's likely either pressed in or brazed. Either way, to replace would require removal of IM, take to machine shop to drill out, and replace fitting (if you can find exact replacement!).

Almost certainlly cheaper to replace entire intake manifold w/ used part. Check ebay for numerous listings. I saw one for $75 incl. shipping.

You may be able to find local to you using car-part.com to source a donor vehicle and calling to confirm availability.

good luck
