More details. Exactly where did you break it at?

If its a plastic line splice it with a small rubber hose.

I broke it directly under the cowl on the passenger side when trying to get an injector out. So those things are just twist apart couplings? I figured I would do exactly what you mentioned with the rubber line.

What do you think? This is wierd because normally I would simply just put a piece of ruber tubbing over ist and call it good! The only [problem is it changes sizes? Does anyone make anything to repair this sort of thing?? Is there some sort of fitting that I can use??

NAPA sells fittings with multiple size fittings on each end. You trim off smaller sizes not needed until you get back to size you want to use. They can easily connect 1/8" to 1/4". Most have the packs of fittings hanging on a rack that spins round and round.

My 2 cents-Replace it with rubber hose. Plastic options are available in wrecking yards (my was free), but everytime I'm on that side of the engine, I still have to be careful. I will be replacing it with rubber soon-but for now, cruise and heater work fine.

The thing that sucks is the plastic that goes under the dash is very thin and to be honest I have never seen vac. line that small? I will take a ride to advance and check there DIY section they should have somthing? The Guy at Napa either had nothing or simply could not be bothered??
