LIM gasket change walkthrough

Another quick question.

Does anybody have the part number or name of the two following tubes/hoses.

Hose that connects the MAP sensor to the top of the fuel pressure regulator.

and

Tube that goes from the rear valve cover and plugs into the top of the air intake system. It's a vaccuum tube im pretty sure...

any part numbers or exact names?

[gectek]

exact names are MAP sensor/manifold vacuum line, i have the pn somewhere but it would be better to call a dealership and ask them the pn...also the other line is a PCV hose for rear valve cover

[black05GT]

IIRC, GM calls those two pieces as one part a "PCV harness" - I have the GM part number at home. will post it later tonight.

[gectek]

the other part has nothing to do with the PCV though, it is just the vacuum hose for the map sensor and FPR , ok the map sensor tube is called just that a map sensor tube, its pn 24508184, idk about the other one though

Yea im just going to the junkyard for it anyways...

PCV harness..hmm nah i dont think so

[gectek]

i wouldnt, it can deteriorate really fast when left in a place like that with no use, i wouldnt get any vacuum fittings from a j yard at all, dealer shows only like $15 new, i paid about 12, so its not that much for a brand new piece

the thing that goes from the rear valve cover to the intake is just this thick plastic tube..blow through it and its clean...

the other tube is actual small rubber, it broke whenm I was removing it from the MAP and cracked right where the rubber meets the "T" shaped grommet thing.

id obviously inspect it for wear, and its just convenient because Im going to be at the junkyard for a power steering pump regardless.

[gectek]

ok well just so you know that map sensor vacuum harness is all one piece, you cant really take the rubber t off the vacuum hose, its bonded on it, you will mess it up, i know ive tried it

i didnt mean take that off, the valve cover to intake tube is thick so i can clean that out...

the map sensor to fpr tube ill just blow through it and make sure its not clogged. if thats the case itll be fine as a temp fix.

do you know how badly im having withdrawel from my car...i havent started the thing up in almost a week now. I sat in it and actually missed driving again...i remember that feeling

Wow, i've had a pretty rough time with the LIM. I broke a bolt over tightening one of the valve covers and then when i finished the SES light was on. Some sort of bad connection with the MAP. Had to take it to the shop and they charged 390$. Which is within 5$ of what i saved by doing the LIM myself so i guess i break even huh. Oh except for the fact that the O-ring i put on the fuel feed apparently dosnt fit and i'm leaking gas. I have a nice tiny puddle on top of my LIM right where the feed line connects i'm assuming that is where it has to be leaking since there are not any puddles around the injectors. Looks like i'll be diving in again to fix that. Is there any quick fix or do I have to take off the UIM for the 10th time and hope not to screw up the gasket?

I need the part number for the tube that runs from the rear valve cover to the top of the intake. It's the thick plastic tube, im sure anyone knows what im talkling about...

but whats the part #?

I rented a pulley puller tool and i cannot get this friggin old pulley off...its no use

[gectek]

is it a powersteering pulley remover or just a pulley puller? make sure u use the right tool for the job. and the other hose is a pcv hose, but i dont know the pn for it

Pulley Puller and Installer Set.


I got the old pulley off, putting the new one on is hurting my friggin wrist and taking forever

[gectek]

, yah its best to remove the stock one using a brass jawed vise(or brass jaw inserts) to hold the pulley while you remove it, and also its easier to take it off when it is on the car so it dont rotate

Consider investing in a code reader, they can be had for under 80$ I think (maybe even a good bit cheaper than that) and you can find out what that SES means rather than taking it to a shop and blowing 400$.

yea this tool is retarded. it got the old pulley off good, but the threading on the installer screw is the opposite of what it should be. i need something to hold the pulley while i install it because after i get to a certain point where it applies pressure, itll just start turning the pulley.


is there a SAFE way to hold the pulley? the pulleys are very delicate.

[gectek]

what i mentioned or a vice grip could work, just cover the tips with a rag or something to keep good grip but not mark the pulley

ok well car is completely back together now...

funny thing is i was on empty when i started this all so i need to go get some gas in a jug and fill her up.

should be running soon!

glad to hear it dude. Hopefully it all works. Did you get the ps pump figured out?
