88Intl Posted December 28, 2004 Report Posted December 28, 2004 Where to obtain a replacement multi-line rubber fitting for a 2.8 MPFI throttle body? Last I checked neither the dealer or auto parts stores had these. I would assume the ones in the junkyards to be hardened and leaky too, that will be my last choice. BTW I know someone who may be selling a 1993 3.1 GP sedan that needs a trans and other work. If I were to take on this project, easier to pull motor/tranaxle from above, or trans only from below?

Robby1870 Posted December 28, 2004 Report Posted December 28, 2004 Is your fitting cracked or something? As far as I know, you cant buy those new anymore. You're bette off getting one from a junkyard that looks in good shape, or maybe a few incase one of those breaks. Quote
Brian P Posted December 29, 2004 Report Posted December 29, 2004 yeah the ones for '90+ 3.1's are still available (whole vacuum harness, actually) but the 2.8 & pre '90 3.1's have the 4-line harness, not around anymore. But they don't normally fall apart that often, so just grab another one. Worst case scenario, reinstall one with some RTV. Quote
Intlcutlass Posted December 29, 2004 Report Posted December 29, 2004 I doubt a boneyard will even have a price listed for that. They would probably ask for a $1 donation. Quote
Jcrow Posted December 29, 2004 Report Posted December 29, 2004 I got a junkyard one for the five finger discount, came with a hood and grille! OH, and I snagged all those little relay boxes. There gonna crush it anyway right? Quote
88Intl Posted December 29, 2004 Author Report Posted December 29, 2004 Off to the junkyard then... Quote
GPXSS Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 If not I have one in the garage i'll give you, the rubber is still soft and pliable. Quote

Slade901 Posted January 1, 2005 Report Posted January 1, 2005 If you can't find one then you might want to tigten them down just like I did http://www.w-body.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22351 If the vacuum hose have been cracked then try to connect them together using a clear rubber tubing. I got the clear tube from fish aquarium store to expand the length of the air bubbles in the aquarium. Quote
