there are numerous tubes from mostly around the intake manifold on the left. these tubes i think may be vacuum tubes. they have specific numbers located on the tubes such as (tac7) or (tac4). i have found damage on all of them i want to replace and cannot find them anywhere. also it is now causing my car to run very poorly and smells in between rotten eggs and sweet like coolant. please help

Hi danielsw,

You would not be able to get them anywhere except from the dealer, which is going to cost you a fortune or the scrap yard.

The alternatrive is to get after market vacuum hoses and mark them yourself.

Sweet like coolant smell could mean a leakage from one of the coolant hoses or joints and should be checked/replaced.
