the three plastic vacuum lines that run to the elbow in the intake (red) the one that goes to the egr (green) and the one that goes to some part of the smog system (beige) have all been broken. will ford have these parts or is it like all the other stuff they try to sell me stuff for the fox mustang. is there an alternative to replacing these. i am tired of looking at check engine lights.

They are broken somewhere in the middle of the lines, correct?

If so, here is the easiest fix. I assume they are all the same size inside diameter, correct?

If they are all the same, just take one of the lines down to a local hobby shop, find a piece of hollow brass tubing that will fit very snug inside the vacuum line, buy that piece, use a hacksaw or whatever, cut some 3" long pieces, file the ends so they are smooth, stick them in each side, wrap the junctions w/ tape, and you are done.

A couple of mine broke off 2 or so inches from the angled heads. I just used reguar vacuum tubing, inserted the ends of the broken tubes into the new vacuum tube and tapped around the new ends to ensure a tight fit (it was already tight putting the tube into the rubber vacuum tube). Everything worked fine afterwards.
