Loud vibrating hum coming from air box occasionally

Scan the engine computer for codes.

It only ever has one code and it says EGR insufficient flow. And the reason is the tiny plastic vacuum line to the EGR has cooked itself to bits, disintegrated. The EGR valve can never open as it never gets a vacuum. Where ever the tiny plastic 1/8" width plastic vacuum hose goes, I don't know.
IT is wrapped into the wire harness. If anyone knows an EGR hose routing diagram, I would like to see it, as I could maybe put a standard rubber hose in there. Car is a 1998 Contour SE with 2.5L v6

VIN L or VIN G?
It's automatic I assume, and not a SVT?

Not SVT
Is an automatic
Contour 1998 SE v6 2.5L
I would have to find the vin, why is that important?
Engine runs very smooth, smooth enough you don't even know it's running

I found videos on the EVR, it sends vacuum to the EGV
I now know how to reconnect the EGR to the EVR

Fix that first

Check the egr pressure differential switch.
