Default Help locating replacement part for evap system

Hi guys. Any idea where I can get another one of these since the part has been discontinued. It's part of the Vapor Canister Purge Harness in the evap system. It connects the fuel vapor canister to two skinny vacuum lines. Part number 52102940AC. I can't find it anywhere and mine is disintegrating.

Check the help section at your local auto parts store.

Hopefully you haven't thrown away your disintegrating part. See post #12 in this old thread of mine and let me know if the light bulb turns on for you.

I had this same issue. Ended up furnishing my own T fitting out of some brass hardware and evap hose.The junkyard is your next best bet. Or first best bet. All I know is I've passed smog twice since lol

I tried coating it in flex seal but it didn't turn out so great. Maybe the permatex would work better? I'm leaning towards just fashioning my own by using a Y Connector and some hose.

The Y connector would likely be a better bet. Neater too. The old one is beyond redemption. That feller is REALLY rotted.

Probably, but you already coated it, so that's that. Fashioning something or the junkyards are probably your best bet now.

Just as a follow up, check out this video I found on YouTube. I plan on doing this to replace the discontinued part. Hope this helps someone else with the same problem!
