is it an actual hole that could be tapped? or a vacuum port? if its a vacuum port, just get vacuum caps from ur auto parts store of choice (a combo pack is only about 5 bux for like 20).

if its a hole, id tap it (remove intake) and put a plug in it.

is it in the plastic portion or aluminum? that would help in finding a way to fix it.

Im assuming that there should have been a tube there but when i bought the car there wasnt one on there at all. The hole on top of my air intake is basically blocked by the aftermarket BOV that the guy installed before me. All that it is is a hole in the intake that should have a metal piece in it so there is something to clamp on to. And im assuming that this pipe would get connected to the start of the intake mani. I've seen it in other pics

Jbweld followed by some red rtv. Only get red, or the one above but red rtv will work, or use some sillicone in a tube. But jb weld first, then cover it with red rtv. Should work fine

I don't think that i would trust jbweld on something like this. I would much rather just get some sort of plug. Thanks for the idea though. I just dont want to do that because there really is no going back ya kno

not that i dont trust it, but i dont think id ever put jb weld on/in my intake.

it may come down to buying or making a new piece for the intake...

i was thinking maybe something to act as a plug and then some type of sealer to go around it when i wedge it in?

There is no pressure in the accordion hose to blow out a plug. Find a bolt that fits in the opening tightly and put a hose clamp on it to seal it. The reason you want that closed is because it will pull in un metered air that will mess with the a/f ratio.

thanks i will try the bolt. I was also wondering if anyone could help me identify what these hoses are and where they are located. i cant seem to find them. I thought i knew where one went but i dont think its right.

yea i too would never use jbweld or rtv but i mean thought i would suggest it :-D lol

icey756 09-27-2011 01:52 AM

Well from my prospective i would say it's kind of pointless to suggest doing something that u would never do to your car.
