I am currently staying at my friends place in slo and on way here my vac line decided to get loose.

Can someone help me asap? All auto stores ive called are closed for the weekend.

Please pm for contact details.

 

no AAA towing?

 

I have it but id rather have my mom have it.

And I have to be back home monday.

 

sorry I dont understand, you just got a vaccuum leak in a hose?

 

I'll text you toms number.

 

If the vac line came loose why not just put it back on? Which vac line, whats it connect to? More details dude.

 

ya this, or if its a tear/split just duct tape it? hard to tell whats going on here =/

 

Sorry, I was in stress to figure the situation out and I was worried I wouldn't make it back home when I needed to.

I figured it out with Alex and Tom thanks to Heedz for the connection.

The BPV hose on the motor side got blown off, which is why I couldn't find it since it was hiding underneath the TMIC. The hose looked like there were no clamps in place, which caused the hose to slip off over time.

Edit:
When I pulled over originally, I couldn't find the leak at all. Checked the BPV hoses on BPV side, and the T-connector for leaks, but nothing changed it, as they were fine. I was very glad that we found the leak, but sucked that it was underneath TMIC.

 

This happens a bit often with the newer years 08+ cars that are tuned with higher boost levels. It's a good thing you stopped driving the car when you did when that hose pops off the car goes super lean. Buddy of mine had his pop off on the track and cracked a ring. Always check there or the throttle body hose first with our cars. That bpv line is super hard to trace under and behind the intake manifold so I feel your pain.


Stop being a ricer Matt doing 20psi pulls from stop light to stop light and you should be good. j/k. Glad they helped you out! They are good peeps.

 

Out of curiosity, will this issue throw a cel? Or are there symptoms to tell that the hose fell off?

 

Ah I see... I checked all the hoses I could see but that hose was pretty much completely hidden. :"( glad they spotted it though. Lol

My cel didnt come off for awhile actually, but when it did my accessport was giving me a pffff code, which meant I needed a real code reader which I luckily got back from a buddy, whcih read out as a p0300. The first thing I noticed was the motor felt a bit rough at 65mph, second was my boost gauge just stopped reading vaccum. If I gave it enough throttle it would read boost. Thirdly the car at idle would shake as if I had a missing piston. Then when coming to stop signs, the car would just die by itself, or try to keep the rpms up and try to save it self.
