Rubber sleeve for air tubes?!?!

[Bmod986]

The rubber sleeves shouldn't have any nipples to my knowledge. So your saying that part 12 is connected to sleeve 10 on your car? and it also sounds like your a ways away from the dealer to go and show them your broken sleeve. On my 2000 base 12 is connected to my throttle body and it also has a connection to the air oil separator.

You're close the part that I am referring too that is the "rubber sleeve" are 28 and 10 where in my car there are swapped places and a hose runs from the fuel pressure regulator to 10 where that plug looks like it is going in the photo. That's why I am confused, for my car 10 and 28 are swapped and couldn't be like the picture because the tube isn't long enough to reach anywhere else... does anyone have or know where I can see a picture of a 2001 base engine? I looked on wayne's pages on pelican and get see a clear picture of a 2001 boxster but the ones I do see look similar to my current setup... very frustrating as I am suppose to go out of town in 3 days and am suppose to be driving :troll:

I have 2001 base model.
is the pipe you're referring to by the power steering resoviour cap and attaching to the back tube right above the lower intake manifold?

[coolbreeze551]

Yes, it is right by the power steering fluid cap. One end connects to the fuel pressure regulator and the other to the rubber sleeve that is hose clamped to the intake manifold. Hopefully the part is here tomorrow so I can drive out of town. I am also having a smoke test done tomorrow for vacuum leaks so that should let me know if it is just the sleeve leaking or I have other culprits involved as well.

Had the car in the indy shop on Wednesday and they pulled the code p0410 and p0411 and replaced the rubber sleeve. They told me that there is still an irregular idle and that it could be the throttle body or idle control valve that is effecting it and further investigation is needed. I had the engine cover off and noticed what sounded like a hissing noise like an air leak by the manifold but there is so much other noise when the engine is running that I can't pinpoint where exactly it is. Can anyone recommend something that I can do to try and find where that hissing noise is coming from. I heard about spraying carburetor cleaner where a possible leak could be when the engine is on and cold and listen for a change in idle. Has anyone done that or have any other suggestions for me? TIA
