Codes, to god-damned hell with codes! We have no codes. In fact, we don't need codes (with apologies to The Treasure of the Sierra Madre).

Original air intake hose had been patched years ago with electrical tape for rub through wear. Repair lasted 10+ years. Symptom of break (identical to Art's photo) was bucking on acceleration, when engine movement opened up the break. Otherwise car ran fine at any throttle level as long as it was constant.

My conclusion was that the hose finally became stiff enough with age that it broke just beyond the repaired section which was slightly less flexible.
