These are some pics of my vacuum hoses cracked, the car has been running pretty bad, it will shut down or the rpms will hang really high. It acts pretty weird, like its about to shut off and then the rpms rise to about 2000 and then come back. When ever I turn and want to floor it, the car bogs down and then it reacts. Can all the issues be because of the hoses? The green and red tubes are cracked and the yellow one looks very dry. I would like to replace them all but I dont know where I can find them, does anyone one where I can purchase the vacuum hoses or harness?

Pretty much any auto parts supply store has tubing and hoses you can use to replace those lines. They typically sell it in bulk and it's pretty cheap.

Yeah hit up the local parts store man. I have tons of different size tubing just for that very purpose. They get old and crack so I bust out the new shit and replace it all. Simple to replace too :)

the problem its one hose inside an other, like the black hose is the insulation but inside it there is another tube with different colors which is plastic. Ill post another pic that shows the place where it is cracked which seems pretty hard to fix.

you need to break it off with a few inches left so the connection is still there then sleeve it with the new rubber hose using a size that fits snugly over your broken hard hose
