So how do I replace the hose? My Dad thinks I might have to lift off the intake manifold to reach the hose, but I know nothing about cars.
(I just experienced the same type of problem. The hose broke off somewhere under the intake manifold and I suspect that the only way to replace the hose is to remove the intake manifold.
