I managed to damage the exhaust recirculation tube during a recent repair. The tube had to be removed in order to remove the upper intake manifold to gain access to the fuel injectors. The end of the tube that bolts into the exhaust pipe seized up and got twisted up beyond repair. I have not been able to locate a replacement tube. This tube is to divert hot exhaust to or from the exhaust pipe to the EGR valve. It is a full-length flexible metal tube that has an insulation wrap full length. The tube ID is 1/2" and I think it is about 8" long. The EGR end of the tube has a two-bolt mounting flange. The other end has a JIC female nut that secures the tube to the fitting in the exhaust pipe. I have had no luck so far with any vendor that has this tube picture or part number. I can not even find the EGR valve picture or part number, however the EGR valve was working before the tube got damaged, so I don't need the EGR itself. I need to know the factory part number for the tube only. And if you know who might have one. I think the Chevy Cavalier uses the same motor. This is a fuel injected multi-port engine, not a carbureted engine.

Hi,

I tried finding the part number and like you, I'm not finding it. Do me a favor. Take a look at pic 1 below. That is from an 89 Chevy Beretta with the 2.8L. It should be the same part. If that is correct, the GM part number is 14102605.

Let me know if that helps in any way. You may have to either find a used one in a salvage yard or purchase one that is similar and modify it as needed.

Let me know.

Joe

That's it! If I can't find it new, then I might have a chance of finding a used Chevy part easier than finding used Olds's part. Thank you so much. I could not find anything on that darn thing. That gives me hope of finding it now.

Hi,

You are very welcome. I hope you can find one. Keep in mind, if you find a vehicle that is the same model year and has the same engine size (Pontiac, Chevrolet, Buick, Olds) it should have the same part.

If you have a chance, let me know if you are able to find one. I'm interested in knowing.

Take care,

Joe

Here is a link in case anybody else gets in trouble:

https://www.gmpartsoutlet.com/a/Chevrolet_1988_Beretta/59805853__6397872/EMISSION-SYSTEM-EMISSION-COMPONENTS/CN87650.html

It's pretty pricey but is still available. I happened to find a Chevy Corsica 2.8 L engine sitting on a shelf for the last 10 years that was the twin to my engine and a couple of cars on Ebay being parted out. That engine was a lot of different named GM vehicles, but it is 34 years old now. Not a lot of them are still out there. There are two versions of that 2.8L. One with throttle body injection with a distributor and one with Multiport injection with a coil pack and ignition module. Very different from each other. Mine is the later, the later engine is the years 1987,1988,1989. Thanks for your help. I hope this will finally resolve my issues. But I still have that code 43 that refuses to turn off. I might have to return on that one. Again....Thanks Joe!!!
