A vacum hose job shoudlnt take anyone longer than 4-5 hours to do.

Only because you have to go slow removing the old hoses.

Also you need to remove one, replace one. In that order, one hose at a time.



You can get the hose from here

yes the zip ties hold.



Go to here for your block off plates. They are the best available IMO.

AWS is the accelerated warmup system. It's what makes your engine shoot up to 3,000 rpm on cold starts. It blows. You can block everything off, but if your car is basically stock, you on't want to. If you block off the ACV none of your emmissions equipment will work. If you have any catalytic converters left, they will clog in a hurry. Get some more info before you go crazy blocking stuff off.

What mods do you have?
