Broke a vacuum line...):
While I was changing my clear filter I broke an old vac line off and now the engine doesn't shut off with the key.
How do you replace these old lines?? AA

If you broke the connection off the main vacuum hose, you have to replace the entire line:

I'll have to post a picture. I cracked a tiny little tube like thing . not a hose.

Until you can replace the whole line, You can repair it by cutting out the break and repair it with a piece of rubber vacuum line. Your car should shut off then.
Depending on what color the line is,(if you want to keep it looking stock) I robbed the vacuum lines out of a junked car. The lines inside the car usually aren't brittle like the ones under the hood.

Is it just a tube that runs between two components, like the supply line to whatever? In that case you should be able to pick something up at your local parts store.

Or, is this under SUPER VACUUM? Will it collapse SVH or fuel hose? |

I keep a coil of replacement vacuum line around in a couple of sizes just for such an emergency.
This line is readily available. Use rubber line to join these repair pieces. My 300D from 1980 has way too much of this old brittle stuff in it.
