vacuum lines

Ok, after investigating a bit deeper, my 96 3.0 has some issues with running rough and continually getting the EGR flow code. There are some vacuum lines that run to the back of the ignition coil (at least it looks like that is the case anyhow) one from the EGR valve itself and the others from various other places. Can someone tell me what that is that the vacuum lines tie into? Is it a sensor of some sort? Its located just next to the intake just below the ignition coil...or so it appears. Well anyhow, 2 of the lines are cracked and I can't seem to find the hard color coded vacuum lines anywhere...not even the dealer. Will it be ok to go with the soft lines? will they seal ok?

Seems like the dealer should be able to come up with the right stuff, but I would guess the soft hoses should work. There isn't so much suction in the system to collapse the standard hoses. The regular vacuum hose is pretty inexpensive. It is worth a try.

No, even I can't get the color coded vacuum lines and I'm a tech. I use small vacuum hose to repair them. Works really well as long as it fits tight.
