Taped up vacuum line.
I was chasing my vacuum lines today to look for cracks due to eratic idle and surging engine. I found a small plastic line coming off my TBI to my EGR solenoid that has apparently been taped with electrical tape. The tape is tight and still looks ok but this would most likely leak would it not? And next question is can this line be replaced?

Re: Taped up vacuum line.
I used shrink wrap (like the black stuff for wires) on that same vacuum line and it works fine. It was originally gonna be just a temporary fix, but it works and im cheap lol
