Hello folks, i did a search for my question but it doesn't seem to be answered anywhere so i'll ask here: i need to get new battery cables for my 99 pro 1.6 but i can't seem to find the part number or any information as to the length/gauge required. does anyone have any information regarding...

Just found out, this is the brake booster vacuum line! Of all things, sheesh. I'm not sure this thread would need to be up but it might help somebody out there who somehow still has a protege. :D

Better angle on this picture. Note the tube with the clamps that look like you'd need to use a plier to press on the two tips That's the tube I replaced.

Here is an image I got from searching. If you look at the intake manifold, there is a vacuum tube just on the end, next to the throttle body and it connects to a black bulge on the firewall behind the brake fluid reservoir. Not sure what it is......

I wanted to let everyone know that the problem has been repaired. My buddy and I took the throttle body and egr valve out during the weekend and gave them a good cleaning. While were testing the idle, my friend heard a 'sucking' sound coming from one of the tubes. (I swear I checked them! lol)...

Seriously. And the worst part is that all the possibilities I can think of are pretty worst case scenario and expensive to fix at a mechanic. I know the first thing a mechanic is going to do is replace parts and probably start with the highest priced one.

The tube you speak of is fairly new, having been replaced a few years ago after I found a huge crack in it. Checked it for similar problems but it's fine. Wishing it would've been damaged :(

I believe it does. I looked under the hood after reading a thread with instructions and pictures and I found the darn thing. Do you think it's really running lean in this situation or is it running extra rich to compensate for the code? LOL

Last week my pro threw a P0171 System Too Lean code. I looked on the interwebs and found that cleaning the MAF sensor can sometimes cure this. It was blacker than a piece of burnt meat. After this, I cleared the code and went on my merry way. This week I noticed something different. At idle...

Well, thanks for your help. LOVE THIS FORUM! Have yourself a good day.

One final thing before I stop bothering you lol What would you replace in order if the lines and fluid are already done and the problem isn't fixed? That way I have a plan in place, in case this doesn't work out. I just want to make sure that I've done everything before I give up and listen to...

Would you recommend a brand new brake line install with fluid flush, just to eliminate more than one potential problem at one time?

I don't think I've ever had to replace or top up the brake fluid at all. The car was given to me by its only other owner, my aunt, 6 years ago. Brake lines look fine when I look through my wheels. How should they feel/move if I were to pull them?

Morning (EST) ladies and gents, I have a 99 pro dx and was wondering if I could explain some of the symptoms I'm experiencing in the hopes of better understanding what's going on. When I first start my car in the cool morning, brake pedal feels firm, pads stop quickly. I have ebc redstuff...
