So, I changed the EGR valve on my 2001 Chevy Malibu. Unfortunately, I managed to break two lines because they were inflexible, brittle with age. I need help identifiying them so I can replace them.

Here is the first one. This is on the front side of the engine. It is (I think) a line for the evap system, and my code reader now detects a P0442 code "EVAP System Small Leak Detected".


The second one is a bit behind the EGR valve... Right next to the break fluid resevoir. It is the black line with the green cap on it. I am unsure waht this is... Brake line, maybe? I'm really unsure.


Any help would be appreciated.

 

the green cap is the evap service port.




where does the other end of the first pic go to?

 

It goes from a bundle of cables to a little silver outlet on the engine. I actually disconnected the other end from the connector.


Also, I'm a little unsure what to call the line the evap service port is on... I need to find the part so I can replace it.

 

Not to discourage you from getting the correct part to put back on, but you can use just about any hose rated for fuel use... if the connecting ports are both the same size i.e. 3/8 inch, a length of hose from the auto parts store will work. Make sure its long enough to not kink or interfere with other moving parts of the engine...

 

If it comes to that.
