Found a vacuum hose pulled out from the side of the throttle body. I try to stick it back in but the hose will not go in. I think that it broke off leaving a piece of the hard line in the side. Any ideas on how to get the broke off piece out?
 
You could drill it out and tap it for a small nipple. But i would just go to a Junk yard near you and get one. Either way You prob. need to take it off to do it.
 
Found out proper names for the parts. It was the map sensor vacuum boot, on the side of the throttle body. You just pop it out, then I used a screw driver to push the broke piece out. Then just pop the rubber boot back into place.
