okies...
its the middle size one outa the 3 aye?

It goes on to that group of steel tubes that have heaps of vacume hoses connected... then from there goes back to rubber and it grouped with a 2nd tube the same size that looks like its hooked to the powersteering.. well down there...
But if u just have a small bit of rubber pipe... ya just needa take a look at that group of steel tubes that are bolted on with all the vacume hoses connected just below and back abit from the lift hook, there bolted to the plenum.

was this ur prob at the drags? *finks i shoulda come over an asked*

sounds like you could be right, squid did mention that the hose joins on at the top (in bad picture) & then goes down into thin metal pipes, its joined on to the pipes, just need to know where it finishes its circuit, its quite a long hose & we found it tucked down the back of the engine by the firewall...

Yes, it was my problem at the drags

This is causing the car to idle rough as guts & die whenever you stop... ie, traffic on way to work was a biarch. We currently have the hose blocked off with tape & car seems to run fine...

on my old ae82 corolla it did the same thing as that sounds really bad

but still goes and eventually cuts out

idals around the 500 mark right ?

it went into the TVIS unit on the old 4age

not much help but u never know ?

itll make ya car run shit... coz its letting air in = run lean (i think)

anyway from what I could see with out pulling stuff apart it ran from that metal pipe with another hose from that area down to that bump in the firewall (think its sum kinda cover) by the steering rack... so im guessing its todo with the powersteering? not much else down there it can hook to

if you havent tryed this already and the hose is not to long it should naturally go some were close to were it came off only catch is it mite of turned on other end. had a simler prob got a tourch and carfully looked where hose went as i turned it dident take me to long to find.
hope this is some help probably not but good luck anyway.

AXNGRL · Post by **AXNGRL** » Wed Aug 18, 2004 12:40 pm

its quite a long hose & it was tucked down & through other hoses on the firewall side, with nothing obvious in the general vicinity to attach it to... will see if looking at another car gives us more clues...

Nathan Young · Post by **Nathan Young** » Wed Aug 18, 2004 12:49 pm

as iv said both hoses (the one it runs down beise) go down to that bump at the bottom of the firewall on the drivers side... (powersteering?) but yea may have to go under the car to see it clearly...
