habanero's 1996 4Runner Build-Up Thread
#4521
Do you have the thread link and post number so I can go back and review? I see the rear heater hose in the pic, there's a few vacuum lines and a connector back there, among other things
Try posts 3721 (hoses on the back of the intake manifold) and maybe 3724, see if those make sense.

If that's not what you're looking for I'll look a little harder at the engine tomorrow afternoon- it's dark now. You're correct, mine is a 96 sr5 4x.

It's still dark now, I'll peek under the hood this morning when I let the dogs out. With those pics I can see exactly what you're looking for and where it's at.
If you look at post #3 on the link you posted, 3rd picture down there is an apparatus, looks like a vsv, with a vacuum hose and a breather- my 96 doesn't have one of those.
Could yours be plenum port to vsv (bottom arrow), with a second vac line (top arrow)?
That bears some looking into...
You've piqued my curiosity, I'd love to know the answer.

Okay, try this https://toyota-usa.epc-data.com/t100...ine/1708/?full
The site is usually slow to load. It's a vacuum diagram for a 96 T100 3.4 engine...I don't think you'll find one of these particular vsv's on a 3.4 4Runner, but I don't know that as fact.

here is a picture from under my hood of the vacuum system diagram even this shows no hose leading to that port

and sorry to blow you up with all these pictures, here is exact picture of the bottom of my Plenum. The connector is bottom left corner that I'm looking for, to the right is where it bolts to firewall wiring harness

Pictures help so no worries.
Did you look at the vacuum diagram for the 96 T100 that I posted the link to? The port is shown in the diagram along with the vsv also pictured above with the yellow arrow pointing it out.
It's simply for a truck like the 96 t100 etc. with a 3.4 that makes use of the vsv there, Toyota used the 3.4 before the 4Runner.
I don't know exactly what for, something that uses vacuum switching valves that we don't have at that particular spot.
My 96 was built 12/95, there are a few older tech leftovers on it that even some of the newer 96s don't have and this seems to be one.
Cap it, there shouldn't be anything you need it for.

OK I finally was able to get the diagram that u sent & I believe u are absolutely correct. Maybe it was some EGR/VSV stuff. Bc mine was build 11/95 and mine even has the 2 capped hose ports on the throttle body that aren't used in newer models but was used in some older models. I believe it was prob originally capped and the cap was lost or something. I really appreciate it dude bc honestly that's the ONLY diagram I have seen that shows that port. This has been driving me nuts for quite a while now and looks like it's finally over haha. Either way thanks so much and last question, do u know what the factory port cap oem number is or do they even sell them?
thanks again man

I'll bet Faye's way better versed in all things engine, will have to check her channel out. I just like to tinker with tools and figure things out.
#4537
yeah me too since last time I let a dealership change valve covers timing belt and bad knock sensors between parts and labor it was $3600. So I try to do my own labor if possible, dealerships screw ppl wayy too much

Whoa! Makes me glad I've been able to do those things and put those dollars to new tools and the fun and games parts of the build.

Replaced the power steering filter today. Of course I took the old one apart. It's got some gritty junk in the paper and the magnet, nothing too scary and a whole lot less than the last one.
I'd last replaced it Jun 2017 with 290,xxx miles.
Have an appointment for an alignment on the 27th, driving it only a little bit until that gets done.

Did a weird little thing...
Tool from Grandpa's toolbox
Altered a little bit...
Hose clamped to the winch freespool lever, a hole added to the bumper, a 3/8-1/2 adapter and...
more to do, but so far so good
