Two cubic plastic things on intake manifold, middle/rear passenger side. Have plastic pipes connected to vac hoses. What do they do? Do I need em? I broke both stems off at the base.

Here's a shot from the rear angle, I have better pics if no one knows what I'm talking about.

Looking at the picture

 

The one to the right is egr silinoid valve

to the left is the Purge control silenoid valve

Be very carefull when working around those valves! They are easily broken and the new cost of those items is well over $100 dollars each. Been there done that.

 

Oh-oh. I just looked at the picture again and see I'm too late. You may be able to find a replacement from a salvage yard or one of the members here on the maketplace section. Sorry.

Dang! I didn't think they'd be that expensive. I was hoping on like $10-20 each, but haven't actually looked into pricing yet.

I do have epoxy though....

I was able to find some vaccume silinoid valves that did the trick froma honda. Look for 198?'s with like tons of vaccum lines in the engine compartment going to a black box the size of a 32oz bottle. Open the compartment and look for little orange and yellow valves these should work. For the egr silinoid. You are on your own for the purge control. Good luck

Every time I went to the Pull-N-Save I would look for some good ones. Maybe you can try something like that or find someone on here that has some spares or will get you some. Mine are gone.

i still have a couple of each one of those..the egr's and purge control that tested out good from the pull a part...will ship one of each to ya for $20 total...

If the only problem is that the tubes are broke where the hoses connect, then what you can do is get some brass pipe that is the same size as the hold connection, then drill out the valve to put the pipe into the valve a little ways, then epoxy them in real good. It's a good idea to leave like and inch or so sticking out for the hose, that way you can grab onto the pipe if you need to take off the hoses.
