Hi all.
Lately I have been hearing some hissing sound near the throttle body/intake area, but can;t seem to pinpoint due to the mess of hoses in this area. It is somewhere in the area located within the outer red circle in the attached picture, however, I am curious about the hose identified in the smaller red circle. What is this hose for? When I have run my fingers along it, it leaves a black powdery residue, so I am guessing it needs replacement. It goes down behind the intake, but I don't want to mess with it too much until I know it is something I can easily replace myself.
Any ideas on the hissing as well as identifying the vacuum hose in question?
