Vacuum leak

hexapus · 04-03-2009, 12:43 PM

I have a known vacuum leak (at least one) that I created while trying to fix any vacuum leaks, ironically enough. I accidentally broke off one of the plastic nibs while trying to remove 20+yr old vacuum tubing from one of the little...thingie-jiggers. So yeah, there was a metal line running off somewhere, and it had a fitting in it with a blue plastic junction for two vaccum hoses...so two of the lines sort of merged at this one spot (good lord, there's a lot of vacuum lines for this engine!)...so anyway, #1, am I doing any harm driving it like that? It seems to be missing at idle, but that could just be the potentially fouled plugs I need to replace...and secondly, does anyone know what that little blue plastic vacuum fitting is called, and how I might obtain a replacement?

Thanks!

i dont believe this will damage the car if you drive it like that, But you WILL start to idle pretty high, causing less MPG, and loosing power.

I dont know the name of the blue fitting. sorry.

BVSV? It has a metal bottem and blue plastic with 2 prongs for vacuum lines? I grabbed some off another toyota from the junkyard. It's a different part according to the number but it worked so far.

I think I have a vacuum hose problem. Anyone local to Coral Springs Fl willing to take a look? (Could use someone with exp to see what else is wrong) Will donate for time and services.
