So I have the new radiator in and everything put back together EXCEPT..... there's three little vacuum tubes coming up from the underneath center below the engine. I can't remember or find where they go. It's the only thing keeping me from having my car back on the road!
PLease help! It's awful, at 60, to bring a 40lb. bag of cat litter home on the bus, not to mention getting it home from the bus stop!!!!! TIA!!!
NO, THEY'RE (AT LEADT ONE) IS COMING FROM A LITTLE GREEN BIX DANGLING BETWEEN THE FAN AND THE ENGINE DOWN NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE BACK OF THE FAN) I CAN'T FIND WHERE THEY COME UP TO HOOK UP!!! I'M DESPERATE!!!

 

3.3L RX330 or 3.5L RX350, year? There is actually a sticker under the hood of the RX350 showing the vacum lines, and several posts here too:

If this doesn't help, post a pic (use advanced mode)

 

i bet you'll take lots of pics with your phone next time before you go unhooking stuff! haha

 

I found the sticker under the hood. I'm such a moron!
Went for a test drive and everything is great....so far!!!!

 

That's great!
So I guess cutting off that tumor looking thing was OK?
PS- caution against driving more than a few blocks max at a time and pulling it in to check coolant(careful, hot) and doing this a few times until you are sure all the air is out because just when you think it's good it can overheat. A gallon of extra coolant in the trunk with rags and funnell if you really wanna be safe.
