Yea bro your line popped off your EGR valve in the back on the manifold right below the throttle body. Take you hand, stick it behind the throttle body and feel around and you should feel the loose line. Reattach the line to the EGR valve by feeling for the nipple on the EGR valve.

reach behind the throttle body. There will be a nipple back there feel for it. Reach down a little farther and there will be a vacum line there. Plug it in the nipple , zip tie it and your good to go. You can't see it so its all done by feel.

if you'd do a search on your CEL code, there's plenty of threads on this.

Check the line on your EGR valve. I had the same problem twice, and I ziptied the sh*t out of the vacuum line and I haven't had the problem since.

+1 ...it kept popping off for me...so i took off the damn upper strut bar and zip tied the ***** of that nipple...been about 5months since that code...used to drive me nuts...easy fix...feel back there and you feel the tube hanging and then find the nipple

i reached back there but is it on the left side of the throttle body or next to my charge pipe ?!? is it true that the egr valve shouldn`t matter isn`t it just for admission ? why would it **** up my boost?
