What's this hose for!?!?!

[Satan]

'kay,
Troubleshooting my code 11 issue and also for my low/spongy brake pedal and found this hose, but can't find what it goes to... Looks like it's attached beneath (red arrow) the steering column (green line)... Comes up towards the brake booster (blue arrow)...WTF!?!?:icon_mad:

The engine bay is still too hot for me to feel around behind the booster, but I don't remember anything being there.

looks like a vac line, for pps maybe?

i checked on mine(1991 gte) and it looks like a hose that goes to a J shaped metal tube welded to a plate that mounts to the block with 2 bolts...

Looks a bit like a vapour return to the charcoal cannister.

I do not know what it is as my Supra never had a charcoal canister, EGR or any of those annoying vac lines on the intake manifold. However I do know it is not a fuel line if your car drives, so not a line off the J-tube. Whatever it is, you might want to get it away from your steering shaft. It looks pinched.

thats on the other side.

also, the steering shaft should have a cover on it. that hose is misplaced. it shouldnt loop thru like that. dont believe thats a fuel return since it isnt a shaped hose.

where is the other end of the hose going to?

DOH not for me it isn't !

i agree with lagged. a hose is like a piece of rope. theres 2 ends. trace the hose and find the other end.

if it runs and drives, its not fuel as said earlier. if it dosent idle funny, i dont thinkit would be a vac line(a lil too big for that.) i dont think it has anything to do with the charcoal canister.(sorry IJ)

if you trace it down, you may find that it may not even belong on your car. those hose clamps dont look like stock toyota clamps to me. not that ive seen at least.

Boost: No probs I was looking at it from my perspective being RHD our CC is on that side!
(Do the CC Vapour lines run along the left side of the car there?)

 

[boost fiend]

IJ, that's because you guys across the "pond" are a lil backwards with your reverse toilets and whatnot! lol J/K!!!(please dont hit me with the ban hammer)

 

[IJ.]

LOL not my section or you'd be so banned ! <cracking up here>

 

[boost fiend]

whew! **sweat starts to stop rollong off forhead**

thought i just pissed off a new mod! and yes, the cc lines run down the "right" side over here.

I'd call it a photochop.

? that type of clamp was all over on my completely STOCK 86.5.

that looks like it could be the fuel return, did you bypass the jtube and leave the other line there?

also, whatever it is it dosnt belong snaked inbetween the steering.
