3sge disconnected stuff Options

[r3ck0n1ng]

Hi All,

I've started cleaning the engine bay and have noticed a couple of stuff that were never connected properly. Unfortunately I don't know where they go. I've attached pictures to highlight:



The red box on the left seems to be a crankcase breather missing, simply replaced by a bolt... Any idea of the part number to order the original fitting?

The left boxes show a disconnected (vacuum?) pipe, unfortunately I couldn't find out where the other end needs to go...

Anyone have any idea please?

Having a look, it doesn't appear you can order the (right angle) crank breather separately, you have to buy the whole first part of the manifold, as its pressed in. Try a wreckers, or alternatively install a catch tank system


The second box(on the throttle body) that hose goes to the charcoal canister. Japanese ST202 celicas have 2 hoses coming off the TB, but I have a feeling UK &/or Euro spec only run one??

It's definitely a euro spec car. Do you have some links that may point me to the right direction regarding the catch tank as I haven't quite understood the purpose of it. I'm also trying to look for the charcoal canister you mentioned, any pointers where this might be located in the bay please? From the data I've gathered online it doesn't sound too important for proper engine operation? Thanks

the charcola is right next to fuel filter...

So, I've just taken a look and I found the charcoal canister and it seems that both inlets are connected correctly, and I couldn't find any other inlet where the above pipe I mentioned can be connected. I'm stumped; really cannot figure out where this pipe should lead to... I'm thinking of blocking it off as its definitely leaking unmetered air into the throttle body...

I'm not 100% sure because my jp system uses a 2 hose from the TB to the charcoal canister, it basically loops itself around, once going through a sensor. It doesn't go into the charcoal canister but a hardline & sensor on the canister itself.


Well first things first (amaryllis) you need to decided if you can get/find the fitting for the intake manifold OR the the first piece of the intake manifold that has this part. Have a look at local wreckers or people parting out.

If you can't then you're going to need something to block that hole off in the manifold as unfiltered air is entering & errors in senor readings.

http://oilcatchcan.com/ I've only skimmed over this, but should hopefully help you understand a bit better. If you do go down this route make sure your can has some sort of screening or baffles in it not just an empty can, as they don't filter out the oil mist.
