I'm not sure, as I don't have the engine apart right now. He calls it vent hose over here DIY - Throttle Body Removal and Cleaning - With Images

Can this piece be replaced by itself? Looks like it is secured with a hose clamp?

i think this is it Connector

 

[SunglassesGuy]

Thanks guys! I was certain I had seen that part before, but was unable to find it again. So glad you can replace that section, the whole part is much more expensive!

I think the only option is to either buy a new IAC cable hose or a used one and replace the connector.

Did this connector work for you?

didn't replace it, because if I recall, you have to lower the transmission to get to the other side. didn't find a connector either. did for the front side of the plenum tho, worked like a champ.

 

[adammilad]

Yeah I just ordered one of the connectors to replace the connection on the front of the plenum. Glad to hear this works and I don't have to spend $150 on the full hose.
