Was changing the coils and plugs on my car and broke the plastic that goes into the hose.

I attached photos showing the part in question.

Thank you

Just taking a guess, if this is a V6 camaro, looks like it, you might want to post this in the V6 section for a better answer. My guess is that with the hard plastic line it is hooked to is part of your evap system. But I'm a V8 Camaro and things differ from the 6 to the 8 cylinder. Just a suggestion.

Yep that's part of the Evap purge valve You broke the line that's goes to the Evap Solenoid.

Hey thanks, Maybe we get to meet at Camarofest this year

Yeah, you have to remove the solenoid in order to access the 3 plug on the LFX. It's just one bolt, and other than that the plugs are easy as pie to change out, unless you break the plastic...

Totally unrelated but something to help you with not kicking yourself: my brother was changing out the starter in the Honda Accord that I gave him (hand-me-down car that my son had been driving), and as he was leaning over the front of the car to get some torque on one of the starter bolts, he broke the plastic intake lip on the radiator. Had to buy a whole new radiator and replace it because his fat self leaned too hard on the car. Plastic and men with tools don't mix well sometimes.

Thanks to all who replied I was able to figure it out as well after spending hours doing online research.

I actually couldn't get the part (seems only AutoZone has it) delivered until the 24th so I ended up using gorilla glue with tape until it dried and hardened. Just dropped a somewhat liberal amount of glue and a piece of painter tape to hold it lightly until dried.

Seems to be running fine and no error codes popping up.

if you're talking about the purge valve that plugs into the intake, i'd recommend replacing with OEM because the aftermarket crap never seems to last on those solenoids. if it's just the hose that broke you'll be fine, although i doubt autozone has that in the aftermarket
