ok heres a big pic..
1st Q is since i changed my VC gasket and PCV valve the hose from the valve to the intake mani has been very brown, its getting brownder whats causing this? is it just oil thats inside of it.. or what it never happened b4

2nd.. see the silver hose that runs right along the intake in between the block and the intake
goes to that lil black thing next to the header
what is that? i broke the plastic line a while back and the silver hosing kinda keeps it flowing..
someone said its a choke of some sort..
just curious how bad is it that its broke.. i mean ihave the silver hoses tha connects the2 but i would like a new non broken one.

EGR BABY!
That crap in your intake is carbon deposits from your exhaust. If you want a nice clean manifold you could just pull the vacuum hose running from the actuator to the EGR valve.

...and the "little black thing" is your EGR actuator.

hehehe I remember those... :)

Hehe what's a good way to clean the intake manifold now? With it on the car that is hehe.
