Hello everyone, I have bought a 1995 Mustang convertible v6 a week ago and I have tried to pass the SMOG test this afternoon but my car failed due to the fact that there is "check engine" on the dashboard all the time, I have looked to my engine, and I have seen that there is a cable which is unplugged, (the piece is broken) and I don't know the name of the piece, so I went to the nearest Ford dealer and they sid that this piece is discontinued, there is some pics so can you help me for fixing that? thanks in advance!

its a 90* elbow for a vacuum line, The hose goes to the PCV or Positive Crankcase Ventilation system. The reason that can cause a check engine light to be on is the hole in the intake pipe allows un-metered air to get into the engine which throws off you air fuel ratio. Go to autozone and ask the guys there, they can come out and take a look and most likely find you a way of re-attaching it.

While your there you can also have them run a computer check and tell you why the Service engine light is on so long as it's OBD II compatible

Thank you so much for your answer I'm going to Autozone today! and I'll give some news after!

If you did not find one at Autozone , Home depot or Lowes sells 90 degree plastic elbows in the plumbing section.

Thanks, but I have glue the 2 parts of the elbow and it works... for the moment, yesterday the car pass the SMOG! after spending 10h at Midas, where they are totally incompetent, I have paid $500 and they have to change 3 time the parts! fortunately they paid for me the SMOG test and a rental car for the day! so happy end!
