In the process of removing air intake chamber to replace valve cover gasket. I noticed that a about 6-7 inch hooked shape hose was cracked and broke off. This hose goes from the bottum of the intake chamber to the right valve cover. It is less then a inch in diameter. Can anyone help me identify this hose? I can't find it on any engine diagrams. What is the best solution for replacing this hose.

 

heres the hose I'm talking about

 

looks like the pcv hose, but I don't have a 3vze to compare to.

 

from my recent time spent with my 3vz that looks like the pcv hose. If the upper part of the hose (part out of picture) curls around and goes horizontal than thats gotta be it. It goes to a fitting on the intake manifold with a little wire sueeze clamp.

 

right. Where can I purchase a new pcv hose?

 

I think this is your guy.

local dealership, or an online dealer.
I have been using david maus toyota in florida.
Google them, you can order online if you know the p/n's
www.toyodiy.com is great for part diagrams. I look at it for entertainment sometimes.

 

dealer.

 

thank you, I'll have to run to the local toyota dealer.

 

you can also use universal fuel line if its flexy enough. i think thats whats on mine now

 

i would avoid this as it will likely kink/crimp and cause a whole lotta problems. it is worth the extra few bucks to get the proper PCV hose.
