Found something interesting after uim removal...
I just pulled my uim to replace my pd and I found something that puzzled me so I took a few pics and need some help indentifying the problem and what I can do to fix it. The picture should be obvious that that little pipe is clogged with strait up crap. btw its an 87 na s4 a/t with 55k

For one thing, there should be vacuum hoses on those nipples.

Since the picture is so close, I couldn't tell where it was. Good call though.

You could probably get one for free, people take it off all the time. Should only be a few dollars.
