Question My 1993 toyota 4runner 4wd wont engage!!??!

I have a standard transmission. When I can shift to 4L my car feels different but the front tires dont spin and the 4wd light wont come on. 4H wont even hold in one place when i shift it. The 4wd hasent been used for a long time. Please help me out. I also dont have manual hubs.

Check the vac lines going to the front diff and the electrical connections on the passenger side engine bay.

The two lines goining to the fron to fthe diff are fine, but the electrical connections which have other vacume lines which go to this round canister thing underneith the right fender are cloggged and ripped and the canister pipes attached to the lines are badly clogged. I unclogged them but will the canister still work properly or will i have to get a new canister(lol whats it called)? I will get new vaccume lines tommarow.
