My intake duct has a rip causing the sensor to act up resulting in misfiring and stalling. I've managed to keep our van going with duct tape, but I am looking for a new/ or used intake duct. They seemed to have been discontinued. Anyone have a good lead to one that I can pursue?
Attached pictures mine, duct taped and one that I got from online.
Thank you!

If you're unable to find a proper replacement, there's a repair technique that works better. Clean the boot well, inside and out using soap and water and then solvent. Once the boot is cleaned, use silicone (the permatex black works great for this) to fill the ribs where the breaks are. Tool the silicone with a finger to shape it nicely. Let the silicone cure. Then use good electrical tape, like 3m super 88 to reinforce the boot, winding tightly starting beyond the damaged area, and continuing well past it. Overlap about 80% with each turn.
This fix can work for years if done carefully. |
