    I am in the middle of disassembling my $1200 2nd gen 4Runners engine for a head gasket repair and it’s old. Because it is so old a lot of plastics and rubber hoses are breaking and snapping. I snapped what looks like a vacuum connector and have no idea where I could get a new one could anyone help. It is the greenish gold part it had two hose connections to it but when I pulled the hoses off they came with. I’m looking for maybe a part number or somewhere I could find what part number it is. Much appreciated.IMG_2965.jpg IMG_2965.jpg

    Take a step back and take a pic so we can see where it is on the engine.

    I agree, this is not considered an emergency.

    Parts are getting more and more scarce for 2nd gens. Your best bet is to find one in a junkyard or pick-n-pull

    What year? There are two ‘95s in the local pick and pull I have been pulling various parts out of that I would be willing to check. One is a 3vze. I think 94 and 95 are different than earlier years?

    I can try to run up there in the next couple days and see if I can get it for you, not sure where you’re at as far as shipping but I’d be glad to send it for shipping cost if you want?
