My car was idling crappy... So I did plugs and wires... I was looking at the intake, and took it off, and low and behold the intake elbow was leaking from two big cracks in two places... Now I cant get it to go back on at all without a HUGE hole in the plastic. I need one now, otherwise the car wont run... Just shuts off... I can get it to run if I remove everything, remove the MAF and unplug all the intake connections and run straight out of the TB, but thats not gonna get me around!

Any suggestions where I can get one ASAP?

PS. Local Dealerships dont have one within 200 miles or so according to my local Chevy Dealership!

Thanks!

For now, duct tape will probably be your best friend.
After that if you've got the dough you can overnight the trick flow elbow from summit.

 

Well, I tried to tape it up already but no matter what it wont create a good seal.... Any other type of material that might work as well?

PS. - I really dont want to spend $100 or whatever unless I really REALLY have to...

 

You could try ordering one from GMpartsdirect.com, or get a 1LE elbow from any one of the aftermarket companies, and have it express delivered. In the meantime, why dont you get a roll of duct tape and get to work on patching those holes. It may look like crap, but it may work just enough to make the car drivable.
