Default Vacumn Line Location....

Hi all, I'm slowly putting my car back together and was wondering if you guys can help me out and tell me where these three vacumn line go. The first picture is the two vacumn line coming out of the vacumn canister where the vsv is. The second and third picture is the vacumn line that exits the actuator that controls the plate inside the intake chamber. All help is appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the attachment. But I forgot to mention that I have a 2001 GS300 so it's a 2JZ and not a 3UZ motor so vacumn line routing would be different.

The other line goes to a hard line bolted underneath the Y-pipe of the intake manifold. Feel it and you'll see it.

BTW my coilover is still seized and I could use some more advice about un-seizing it.

Thanks man. And about your coils, send me a picture of the coilover. I thought we had discuss how to resolve the problem last time.

Trust me, you don't want to do that. I've been around suspension's long enough to know what's right and wrong. Heck, the suspension setup that he's running is actually developed by me. Now, if you don't believe me, try heating up your lower control arms or some other major suspension components and see what the outcome will be.

same issue as before. The casing is seized against the thread so i cannot adjust for height. i'm thinking about taking the entire assembly off and soak it in pb blaster overnight.

Do you mean the lower locking collar is seized against the threads right? Because the threads are cut into the casing itself therefore, its a solid unit and cannot be seperated.

no, not the lower locking collar, but the housing that is underneath the collar that is housing the actual threaded shock body.



i circled it in red. the red line that goes through is to show that the mount and the housing are actually two peices, which makes it almost impossible to un-seize the coilover because the housing would move with the threaded shock body.
