Sounds like the rubber boot connecting the airbox to the air flow meter,
shaped like an "L". It runs about $28. There's another straight rubber boot
between the air flow meter and the throttle body, about $25. Don't forget
the myriad rubber hoses that are cracking. Easy and cheap, but
time-consuming to replace. Check this site:
