Question
Hi,My question is regarding a part that is a pipe w/2 3/8's outlets,goes to engine and I think to throttle body,NAPA Rep called it multiport heat exchange,1)Is that the correct name for this part?2)Are they easy to find?I haven't hit the salvage yards yet,pulled it,after replacing thermostat,then found this problem with piece of pipe full of holes over the weekend,Appreciate any guidence

Answer
Hi Kathy,

Seems like a scrap-yard will be your least expensive outlet. I'm not sure if the piece you are referring to is part of the EVAP system or the EGR, neither of which scream 'heat exchanger' to me. Sorry, I wish I were able to assist you more.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
