So cold the other day that one of my hoses (1987 4runner) that runs from the side of the EFI into right above the power steering broke in half. Went to the dealership but they said it is discontinued. Is there any way I could get a replacement? Or am I subjected to scrounging junk yards the rest of my life.

Also wondering how difficult it is to swap intake manifolds. Got a stuck screw in where the thermostat cover goes, and after about a week of trying to drill it out I just bought a used one for 10 dollars.

All help/info is appreciated.

Thanks

Can you get us a pic of this "hose?"

Is it a vacuum hose, or what? How big is it?

yep pics would make it easier.

I will try to get a picture.

What is a vacuum hose and how do I tell the difference?

drewberglund

Nevermind I just realized what a vacuum hose does but I still don't know how to tell the difference

Just go to NAPA (or similar) and get it. You can cut it to length.

I went to advance auto parts and they said they couldn't get one becuase the size of the hole in the hose changed.

drewberglund

Let me rephrase - The Hole starts larger on the end then gets more contricting in the middle then large on the other side

I find it hard to believe that the dealer cannot get that for you.

They are just being lazy.

I ordered it and they said they would call me when it arrived then called today and sasid it was discontinued by toyota. I was not happy.

Sounds like you are gonna have to fab something up. I bet you can do it...give it a shot.

There is a guy in the for sale section parting out a 22re. He might have what you need. I bought some stuff from him, he is reasonable and great to work with. Also- I have access to a donor truck for a short time, try to get a picture posted. The donor is a 92 22re.

Ha ha that didnt work

drewberglund

This is one of the hose

drewberglund

This is where it goes in above the pwr steering.

This is where it comes out of the EFI (that little silver tube)

drewberglund

If anyone could help me find one that would be awesome.

drewberglund

Or if I can't get one, how could I fab it?

if you have a NAPA or a local shop that does hydralic or high pressure hoses i think they can fix you one i think they can start at the large ends and then couple it to the smaller size in the middle
