03 Intrepid, broken line. - 4/12/2007 10:40:32 PM    Vale   Posts: 1 Joined: 4/12/2007 Status: offline Earlier today I bought some blue headlights, and while installing them I unbolted a part, my friend called it the ECG valve. Regardless, it had a very hard plastic line running from it, towards a little black box towards my tire well. The line snapped when I moved the valve, when I started the engine, the line was sucking in air. I repaired it with a short section of rubber hose, which seems to be holding fine. But I'm curious to what this line is, and if for some reason my repair fails, how serious of damage it could cause. Post #: 1
