Here ya go. Sorry about the bad quality. Pulled over on the side of the highway and snapped a pic with my cell phone. I tightened my zip tie pretty tight. Never ha an issue with it popping off since then. Good luck!

I'm not thinking that's the one that was off on mine. That's the one that used to pop off. I wish I were home so I could see mine lol.

My pop sound is like a cork out of a wine bottle but yeah like a balloon too and the hose (I'm thinking) is near there but to the left. I can't tell from your pic because it's not zoomed out. Maybe I can see mine on a photobucket pic. Got slow internet service here!

Well any of them at pop off, you can put a zip tie around to prevent from coming off. Same idea tho.

Would symptoms be the same though? Excessive RPMs and seem like throttle is stuck? If u look at the part u tied off, go to the left of that connector where a small hose goes in, that's where mine popped off. My husband said he has the one you tied off, clamped closed already.

Yes the symptoms would be the same. High idle and a whistling noise probably. Just clamp it off like you did the last one and you should be set to go.

Intake should never see pressure, no less enough pressure to push or a hose unless the hose is just a worn out. Infact that much pressure could damage a vacuum gage. Even the ones design to read pressure are only good to 10 psi.

I am very curious as to what could pressurised an entire intake enough to blow a line off, Even cars that had bent intake valves that would push the entire content of the cylinder into the intake will not blow off a vacuum line unless it backfires. There is always one cylinder on the intake stroke so what every is poping the hose off would need a massive amount of air Very quickly. We are taking turbo charger levels of volume unless I am thinking of this wrong.
