The broken part comes from the A/C idle air solenoid that tekwaldo was asking about earlier. I fired it up, and it is losing vaccuum from that line. It runs better if I plug it, but will run with it open. I think I can just plug it and bring it back home.

There looks to be another coolant leak from the bottom somewhere. I hope it isn't from the engine, or this porject car will be a parts car in short order.

That's the distributing piece, all right. If you need a copy of the PET CD, I'm sure one us can help you out.

Thanks Anthony!

Is that thing safe to plug for a trip home? (hour or so.) As long as I don't on the AC of course.

Should be okay to plug-N-drive. Mine broke on the other side to the brake booster, not okay to plug-n-drive.

Thanks so much you guys! I will be leaveing soon to go and pick it up. (Will hang out for any warnings that come along.)

Be sure and seal with something that won't get sucked in, and seals well, due to the other side going to brake booster. Drive safe.

Yeah, trying to figure that out now. Thought maybe electrical tape as it is strong and can take some heat.

Cobey

BIG sigh of relief. Made it home ok. I used some automotive sealant tape from the auto parts store. It's kinda like plumbing tape, just stronger. Now, I have to chase down that coolant leak, and a fuel leak discovered, and I'll be set for SITP next month.

Thanks everyone for your help!!!!
