Default PCV vacuum routing?

Does anyone have a diagram showing where the other end of the pcv vacuum tube routes to?
this is for our 2002 RX300.

I'm guessing some of the how-to's on here will have some photos showing what you need. Maybe search around where they're changing spark plugs. You may see some shots of what you need once that plastic cover is off. Just a thought!

Isn't there a vacuum diagram posted in the engine bay?

Thanks for the pic Baetke, didn't notice that it was that short. Hopefully that barb on the intake plenum is metal so i can resecure the hose with a good clamp when im done with my project.

Admit i haven't looked, but most of my stickers have either peeled up or faded from cleaning chemicals

As I recall, the pipe coming out of the bottom of the intake plenum has a "lip" on it that the hose slides over. There shouldn't be any need for a clamp if you use the right size rubber hose. This line has a vacuum on it so it won't slip off.

I'll check for it, on my 02 i use a metal pcv with a rolled lip and the factory uses a light spring clamp on that end. It would make sense that it would have a similar clamp on the plenum side.

Yes, that seems logical. I forgot about the difference in the 02 PCV vs my early 99 PCV.
