I've been looking for a late model year first gen LS400, and I found one with low milage and good electronic system, the only thing I've noticed in the engine bay, is where the red circle, one of the hoses is broken from the intake, can someone please tell me what is it, what does it do, and what kind of harm it would cause the engine (or to anything else)?

 

get it fixed asap!!

the engine is still sucking in air if that hose is broken there is no-filter there so alot of bacteria and dust gets in ur engine u dont want it to die!!! lol..


the most that will cost u is like 40 bucks dont pay more!!

 

bacteria ehh

the resulting vacuum leak will mess with your PS a little bit, just plug it up until u can get some new vacuum line.

 

Wow. I didn't even realize bacteria was so dangerous to engines...didn't I see that on HOUSE?

 

You've gotta watch them bacterians-- dangerous!

 

I don't know I have heard there is good bacteria that eats engine sludge - kind of like intestinal flora.......look it up

 

that bacteria iirc was specifically engineered and bred to help combat oil spills.

 

That's awesome Pure - if you have stains in your garage on the concrete floor it is because there isn't enough bacteria in the oil - time for a bacteria supplement We are getting too much mileage out of this one

 

I've had mine unplugged like that for 3-4 months with no problems .

 

After the fall of the Iron Curtain they had a major problem with disposing of East German Trabants (remember those lovely cars?). They actually found a bacteria that would help break down Trabants in landfills. Seriously.
