Solved No really I broke it
still missing that gas line!
Help . First of all please forgive me if I'm breaking any forum rules by just going for it and posting my question and pic. I've spent the last 2 weeks as a very definite non-mechanic replacing the intake manifold on a 2003 expedition 5.4 l finally at the point of putting it all back together and went to move a hose aside that had been disconnected in the breakdown, and promptly snapped off the two connectors the vacuum hoses go to I assume they're vacuum Hoses ...a friend of mine here says they are cold air cooling they are wrapped in blue insulation looks like an aluminum pipe and then it connects to the things that I broke I think it says pdtgf 30 but internet searches turns up all kinds of parts with that number. I'm posting a picture hopefully somebody can tell me what it is and how quickly they think I might find one. I'm supposed to use the truck for work tomorrow but trust me it's not happening! If anyone can help me fix this so that maybe I can go back to work on Saturday I could not begin to tell you how much I would appreciate it!
I'm actually going to post two pictures one will be the sensor that snapped off and it's assembly which I think the other half of this assembly might be the vapor canister?? Anyway the other thing I'll post are the blue lines or hoses that it connects to.
I'll make another post when this crisis is over but as a little teaser, I seem to have lost a fuel line. There are two I believe one is return. One is 5/8 and the other 1/2 in. I know because I got the tool to disconnect then. I can't find the smaller one now. Any one know where it's other end connects?
Hellp! I'm in the home stretch of the biggest project I ever imagined I'd do. Don't let me crash and burn at the last minute
That the two pipes / hoses that attach to the assembly below.
This is the sensor itself the two pipes lined up to the two cylinder type things on the left. There were two hollow connection fittings that now live inside the blue hises
This is the whole assembly. I THINK the round part in the uppermost corner might be the vapor canister. Or it could be a black aspirin bottle.
