2003 SC430 Need Part number for engine intake/vacuum hoses
Hey, i need help identifying this two hoses. I did some research and found that one of them is PS Vacuum hose. They both go down deep into the bottom of the engine (not sure where exactly).
They are cracked and CEL is on. In the past 6 months I have already replaced 3 various evap hoses that cracked on me. The car only has 74k miles, and lately it has been a hose after hose.
Yeah, there is a point in your SC's life where all the hoses crack. I tried to replace them as they cracked, but found out that the new hoses could handle more pressure and all the old hoses cracked faster.
If I had to do it again, I would replace them all at once. Way less annoying to do it once than to do it 5 times.
The hose you took a picture of goes to the Power Steering Air Control Valve. It looks complicated to get to, but really it isn't. You can access the hose connection from the top.
I don't have the exact part number, but if you go to MyLParts.com you can look up air control valve and see what hoses are connected to it.
