What is this boot?

[alkkamai]

On an m20 motronic, this connects a barb on the bottom of the throttle body to a hose/electrical connection on the same harness as the two sensors associated with the intake. Can't tell from the pic but mine is all cracked at the top. I checked realoem sections on fuel system, fuel prep, engine, etc to no avail. Does anyone know p/n or just what it's called? Any insight is much appreciated!

Its for the evap purge solenoid, the part number visible in the photo comes up on RealOEM. They just call it a "hose", none of the diagrams it is included in accurately depict its appearance.

Yeah, that is the “hose” that goes from throttle body straight down to the canister.

Mr. Brick, thank you for your thorough reply. I feel kinda dumb, I've only used realoem to look up diagrams, never knew they had a search.

Yeah the search is REALLY handy, you can enter either 7 or 11-digit part numbers, though every once in a while you will get a number that doesn't show up.
