    Hi everyone as the title states I am looking to do a DIY project since my car is loosing power and am wondering what size the vacuum lines are? Is silicone better than the cloth braided ones?

    Thanks

    Yes, to get the size I think it is best if you take a piece of each with you, and get Bulk. I think the 2 sizes are 1/4 and 5/16. The old Braided Cloth that you have is probably DEAD.

    You also need to check the Air Box to Throttle Body Flex Rubber, as it is known by me to develop a weak spot or hole near where the ISV and PCV plugs in to it.

    Grounds, Grounds, Grounds Replace them things.
    Divorces, Great Coffee, and Electrics, all start with GOOD Grounds.

    Where are my grounds ?
