I cant thank you enough for making this. I had it motley figured out with compressed air and the FSM but the AC idle up had me stumped. This is priceless! Im going to screenshot the first screen, laminate it and leave it in the vehicle for future owners!
Finally there is someone in this world that made a video that includes ALL of the hoses and where they go. This video would have saved me hours and hours of time, not to mention the frustration it would have saved had i seen it long ago. Thank you for being the only detailed video in existence. You are awesome and i will forever check your content 1st when i have any issue. Robby in Phx, Az
This is exactly what I needed. An actual comprehensive breakdown. My 89 4Runner was all cobbled together and it was just impossible to figure everything out. Thank you for the video
Thanks for this video....I'm having to rebuild an entire engine tear-down on a 94 Toyota Pickup with the 3.0. This vehicle came to me from a shop that permanently closed during partial rebuild.....and one of the things I'm fearing most is vacuum routing. This definitely helps, thank you for your time in this!
@@southerngearz I hate puzzles with missing pieces. oh jeez the number of parts I've had to order or find for this truck. It's been quite the project, and normally our shop won't take work like this but he was ok waiting 2+ months (I'm working on it during slow times)
I have been looking for a video that laid this out so clearly for quite a while now. Thank you so much. I bought a 1995 4Runner not running and I’m in the middle of tearing it down and rebuilding everything broken on it. Decided to do the egr delete and make some more space to work in this cramped engine bay and I was getting very confused by this spaghetti of vacuum hoses. You’ve made my life a lot easier!
Thank you for a very detailed video. I am in the process of reconnecting the hoses, on a 1995 4runner I have the manual and with your detailed description it is going smoothly.
Thanks for this video. Very helpful. I am hoping to 1up you with a video of my own someday soon. I'm deleting the EGR very soon so I'm planning on documenting everything and while I have everything apart I am wanting to really break down the parts and hoses in a complete video/series and in such a way that it's clear as a bell even for the most novice of mechanics. I'm not a RUclipsr though so it may be a pretty rough video to watch. Thanks again, this is the best break down of the vacuum lines I've seen so far.
Use colored zip ties on these vac lines. Place one on the hose and one on where it goes ! When you run out or colors start using color combinations. Red/black, blue/green...etc. clip off the tails and leave em on. They don't look bad and last forever.
I cant for the life of me figure mine put even after watching this quality vid, mine is a 93 4 runner (aus delivered) the vacuum line from charcoal canister has been blocked off, on some pics and diagrams it says its meant to go to BVSV, whoever has worked on it has got confused at some point i think, the throttle body vacuum lines dont seem right either, i cant find another one locally to me to compare it to either. Any ideas fellas? Cheers
Email me photos of the engine bay, throttlebody and any other photos you may find useful. I can take a look and see what I think. southerngearz@gmail.com
I did break the nipples on that tvv as well but i was under the impression that nothing connected to it 🤦 had trouble starting and had a blown drivers head. Fixed the head and now it barely runs like sh*t so looking into the spaghetti vacuum
Thanks for this. Is this the same for both 2WD Auto and 4wd manual trans? I have a 2wd auto. I think the shop hooked up the power steering hoses to the wrong spots.. I get a low idle when turning hard and in general.
Yea it is for both you just wont have one vacuum switch for the 4wd. There is that fitting on the back/bottom of the power steering and they tend to break. Also that fitting doesnt come with a new power steering.
If you wanted to check vacuum what line would you recommend to connect the gauge to. I know it’s suppose to be on the intake side but a line a particular would be appreciated
I second this. I was trying to disconnect this #1 line last night and after 20 minutes of no success due to lack of access I gave up and cut it lol. Works fine since I’m deleting the egr system anyway but in hindsight if I had the plenum removed my life would have been much easier.
Off topic question for ya...what do you advise for loooooong term storage of vehicles? I've got a '99 Dakota which I've decided to make "non-operational" on insurance and registration. It is now garage art for me to clean and admire, I bought it brand new off the lot in 9 of '98, still only 70,000 miles. Should I just take the battery out? Does it matter to put it on jacks? Seems to me if it is going to be art for years it's going to need new tires regardless.
I would disconnect the battery remove the fuel pump fuse and run it until it dies and get some stabil fuel additive. I would also fog the inside by removing the spark plugs and spraying wd40 inside to prevent rusting. Jack stands i wouldnt worry about like you said they will be bad anyways from just sitting. Shot of air from time to time just so its not on the ground.
@@southerngearz Do you have a preferred fuel additive? I'm in the desert, very dry air, so rust isn't an issue. I plan to clean and caress it here and there, so air would be a good idea too.

Haha thanks guy! I saw the need for it
You may not see this but thank you. Extremely helpful and detailed information. Thanks!
Awesome guy thats good to hear

Yea that was my situation someone tried to eliminate some of the vacuum lines and it wasnt running right.

@@gt500knights geez thats crazy! Im worried I will forget where something goes if I leave the project sitting too long.
So incredibly helpful, thanks man. Subbed!
Hell yea thanks guy!

Haha Yeah Im not sure what toyota engineers were thinking on that one.
Tbh this video is the only thing out there that is actually beneficial towards the 3.0 vacuum lines
Thank you sir

Haha heck yea guy i hope you do. You will do fine people love that stuff so i hope it works out. When you start shoot me a comment and I will sub.
This is perfect, thank you good sir 🙏
Just glad I could help
Finally a useful video
Thank you! That means a lot

@@southerngearz I had mine like this for years before I did my EGR delete. Only a few lines now.
@@douglas1982b that egr delete freed up so much space.
Good explanation about number 7 🙄 There are 3 hoses and i didn't see who goes where...
Thank you for the heart, but I said about n⁰ 7 " I can't see what goes where" . Your explanation is vague..
Thank you men!!!
Thank you fam!
Anytime

Where I live theirs no emissions so these vacuum lines on my runner have been removed all I have is what’s required
Thats the way to go if you can for sure
Thanks!
And Thank you as well guy!

I always check it through the brake booster line
Helpful video in some kind, very bad shooting.
Very bad shooting for sure haha
How do you get that No. 1 air hose, under the plenum, hooked up? There is no room for my hand at the reed valve.
You may need to remove the plenum in order to have the space.
Or at least lift it enough to have better access so you dont have to remove everything

Of course remove the battery after cranking and it dying

Sta-bil is the one most people use and it seems to work great.

I bought a bunch of different colored nail polish and labled everything
Nice!
