1998 Explorer XLT
Was changing out water pump and had to move this tube out of the way (the middle one), and "snap" cracked it but have no idea part number as label has worn out. 2 ends click into bottom of manifold on either side and the middle one snakes it's way in front of engine (right by the thermostat housing) and connects to a green colored connector near-ish below the battery on driver's side. I have temp fixed it with some hose I had, but would like to know what the part number is. 1998 Explorer XLT SOHC 4.0L. Any help would be appreciated..

Thank you so much. This is exactly what I was looking for except the price for replacement. I'll see how long my temp fix works since it's really only for vapor...Fingers crossed and again thanks!
 






How bad and where is it cracked? I would be tempted to just rough up the surface around and past the cracked area with sandpaper, get some fiberglass cloth and layer it on with epoxy to seal it... OR the hose you used might be just fine, nothing more needed, or see if there are any on junkyard donors.
 






I'll see how long my temp fix works
In most cases the temp fix last very long. The hoses and connecting points under the intake are known for air leaks, purge valve too.
Good luck!
 






It cracked right near thermostat housing, so I just cut near the "T" and ran some rubber hose well past the housing and reconnected to the piece that goes into the green connector below. I think it's pretty solid. We'll see..thanks again..
