Lexus2000,

That 3-way T junction in the center of the picture omar804 is referencing doesn’t appear to show a p/n. I’m using the vacuum page from the Lexuspartsnow site for a picture. Do you know how to retrieve it?

 

Aha! Super glue and baking soda. What a great idea and it can be used to fill spaces and gaps where gluing is a problem.

I read up on this idea and found that the baking soda is also an accelerant and the glue dries 5X faster which lowers clamping time for parts that are difficult to glue together and repeating layers of glue and sprinkling more baking soda at the glue point will make it stronger yet.

Bravo for the tip.

 

does any one knows what's the hose part number in the pic circled, or if there are alternative hoses i can use that would do the same?

 

Hello,

Here is a Part Number for your hose: 12261-20050.

Hope this helps and best of luck!

 

thanks, so i replaced this hose, and now P0420 is gone, but P0430 and trac & VSC lights are still on, so i have to keep looking for cracked hoses.

 

Maybe you should also check your PCV Valve (P/N: 12204-20040). I would just suggest to replace it, since it is cheap and will save you a ton of hassle down the road..
You should also check your catalyst and A/F sensor by getting a live data off of your ECU, and checking the temperature of your catalyst - it should be hotter towards the end.

Hope this helps and best of luck!
