Hello and thanks in advance for your help. Like above says, i have a 1996 Mercury Sable, that was throwing lean bank 1 and 2 codes.... found that the hose in the picture was deteriorating.... and rigged it with the hose clamp and duct tape..... bandaid... now i need to replace it. Ford dealership says no part in stock and autozone says same thing. this hose has 3 vacuums running into it... and hooks on the right side of the intake manifold.... looks to be a 3/8" tube......

have the dealer order the part for you mean while you can
Try and use plastic T and different vacuum hoses to make it up
auto Zone should have them T connectors with many deferent sizes
also try and check with the local used part store

What engine do you have. Give me the 8th digit of the VIN. Example: If your VIN starts with 123ABC456DEF, the 8th digit will be "5".
