I bought a used Aux Air Valve because my cold idle was low and hunting. Went to replace the valve and found this kinked hose. Turned the hose around, rerouted it without the kink and problem solved. The hose seems short and hard to avoid it getting kinked. Did I use the wrong length hose here? Or something else?

I think there is a 90-degree rubber piece that keeps the hose tidy.

Thanks! I'll do some searches and figure out a better routing with additional parts.

Here's a pic where you can see the rubber elbow.

I ordered the elbow and I found this piece. I think it's right. Thanks for the help.
