well, all those small coolant lines underneath the intake manifold have slowly but surely self-destructing one-by-one. figure this time in about february i will have them all replaced and won't have to worry about them for another 14 years. right now its the one right under the TB near the idle valve vac lines. its a round shape, should i be able to use some straight hose to fix it? the othes ones i have replaced were all slight bends maybe 90* at most. this is almost 180*, think i can make it with a striaght? 3 months and my 1st problem!

If it's the one I think you're talking about, I'd just plug it off. Is it a real small diameter?
