vacuum line sizing??

I found that I am missing my vac line that runs to the canister from under the turbo. It was totally broken off and anything that I touched from halfway up crumbled in my hand, so I think that's why I am running rich and why I have a high idle. Anyone know what size tubing to use? I am going to replace the section that is bad, and use a connector for the two lines to meet, and then a new elbow on the canister. TIA!!

Ryan, are you referring to the vacuum line going to the vacuum ball in the drivers side fender? When I replaced it on my SE, I took a piece of the broke line to the parts store with me to match up the size(I think I actually got a length of rubber vacuum tubing that would slip over the original line since mine broke off right before the elbow where it attaches).

Yeah, I suppose I could have erased this thread. The line that runs to the ball just snapped, I found it the other day. There was enough line remaining for me to just use a new elbow, which I think is 5/32". It fit fine, wasn't loose or easily removed. I think thats the correct size.

 

Thanks Matt.
