Where did you break the tube at? The middle? I taped mine up for a long time before I decided it's best to get a new one.
The tape fix may get you going for the short time until you get the new one.
You didnt read a thing I said. I broke the other tube, not the brake boost one. It doesnt run my vents because my vents are working properly. I did tape it. Somebody read my post and answer my questions please!
Edit: sorry about the attitude, I realize you are trying to help.
Nate'sTour correct it does run vents but it also runs EGR valve via EVR (EGR Vacuum Regulator), the black plastic thing with round top. Vents have reservoir(with check valve) which may explain delay in them being affected. Unfortunately you cannot just buy the black plastic tube on top of UIM but must buy the whole vacuum hose assembly (about $40 IIRC). Brake booster hose (also with check valve) separate part, but cheaper.
p.s. Check underhood vacuum routing diagram, pass side strut tower.
