My car was idling at 1k and i think i figured out why. one of those (green/brown) check valves that are for emission purposes broke. it's opened in half. What's another place to get these besides the dealer cause they cost around 30bucks each. Or is there a way to go around these. Thanks people BTW where do you guys recommend purchasing the Silicone Vacuum hoses from? Thanks

you can get a checkvalve at any autostore for about $4. they all work the same. air goes one way, and not the other. you just have to find the right size to fit the hose

if it has MAZDA on it, and especially if it is for an rx7, you can expect to pay a **** ton for it.....

Hey turbovr6 do you happen to have a part # from autozone or something like the original package? because it's not in the autozone down here in Miami, and i also asked and they didn't know what the hell i was talking about and told me to go to the dealer.

I have fun with those guys. Next time ask him what size spark plugs go in a 89 Ford diesel. $10 says they look it up!
