hose on engine

[moonlover]

Can any one tell me what the hose on the top of the engine is called
I have a 93 ford escort 400,000 miles yes you read that right well the hose on the top of the engine broke and I need to know what it is called so I can buy a new one.

I wonder if you mean the vacuum hose on top of the intake manifold... is it an elbow piece?
Whatever the case... all you really need to do is go in to any autoparts store and buy a length of hose to replace it. If you don't know the diameter of the hose then just snip a piece off and take it in with you.
If you are replacing that elbow, you likely won't find another elbow to replace it, but just get a long length of hose so that it does no kink and you can route it around to where it needs to go.

which hose?

on my 93, the apx1" diameter hose that comes out the top left side of the engine (right side if you are in front of the car, looking under the hood), and then drops down to the airbox, got old. i replaced it with a similar sized piece of generic hose from the parts store. just pull it out of the car and bring it in to get it sized about right.

was that the one you meant?

Mine broke too. It's the PCV air intake hose.
