Good day boss, A wrap up of the components that need to be fixed before the car can be on the road. I just discovered to my greatest dismay that I couldn't find the power steering switch connector. I saw it on rockauto.com but don't know the perfect match. I also need to replace the upper coolant reservoir hose, ignition capacitor, the exhaust nut, the throttle body bolt you identified earlier, the injectors, the horn, fuel filter. I might not have oem of some of these parts again. Kindly help me with the part numbers or a direct link to source for them online. It could be their aftermarket or rebuild. The one you feel could be affordable and reliable quality. I want to avoid error because of the time and distance for me to order and receive them. Thank you very much and God bless you real good. We have made so much progress. Thanks to your support, patience and time

In addition, please where does the hose I identified with blue go into and the one with yellow coming from the exhaust seems to be broken off at the opposite end. Where is it supposed to continue to or join to? Thanks once again.

Greetings boss! Pardon me for the barrage of questions. I presume the exhaust nut is a hex nut 14in. What is very important to me now is the coolant reservoir hose. I don't know the part number and have not been able to browse its match. I also need throttle body bolt part number or which part name can I use to browse these to get the right part. Where does the hose enter in the radiator? Thank you very much for being there. God bless you in numerous ways.

Could this be the part number YS4Z-8260-CE, but the bore is large. Do I need two for the 2 openings. I also have the premonition to change the lower radiator hose as the pipe is compressed. I want to skp as the OEM is very costly but don't know if the skp can fit in very well. I am trying to find a link to chat customer service in rockauto.com but can't get it. Thanks, I appreciate your efforts.

Hi,

The lower hose does look like it needs to be replaced. I attached the OEM part numbers for the upper and lower radiator hoses below. As far as the hoses from the reservoir are concerned, there is no listing for them in my manual. However, that really isn't a specific hose. You should be able to remove them and have a parts store match what you need.

Also, the bolts for the throttle body are not listed in the manual. I'm sorry about that.

Joe

Good day sir! I just discovered that one of the pipes of the thermostat housing has not been there. I have now known the source of my confusion about the hoses LOL. In the end, the car must still drive if someone has damaged it. I don't know the choice to make between Dorman, Motorad and SKP for the thermostat housing unit with the sensor. Does cleaning agent like liquid molly work? In the attached image is another metal pipe identified with yellow. Where does it lead to? I can't find the brake level sensor cap. Can the car work well without it or will it affect the electrical circuit? Can I still apply the same discount code because I have made an order of the lower radiator hose and pipe already. Thank you very much for being amazingly supportive. God bless you richly.

3M5Z-8K012-BA is this the right part number from the expansion tank to the thermostat housing.

Hi,

I believe that the pipe runs to the heater core. Do you know if the heater worked before now?

As far as the parts are concerned, I have always had luck with Dorman parts.


Let me know.

Greetings boss, I just observed now that the EVAP hose is broken close to its attachment. Where does the EVAP pipe lead to? Can the car function without it? Kindly help me identify the hoses and pipes that go into those places identified. Does anything supposed to be on firewall that was removed without those pipes looking agape. Thanks for all that you have been doing and God bless you.

Hi,

I need you to check something for me. I reviewed different vacuum / evap schematics and there are two different ones. I need to know the 8th digit of the VIN number. It should be either a 3 or a P.

Let me know.

I would have loved to look at its system by system to see everything is alright. For example. the cooling, brakes, the possible hoses or components to be damaged since I wasn't familiar with the car when I was driving it because it didn't have much issues till now. Thanks for all you have been doing and God bless you.

Hi,

I believe that it is the PCV valve hose. If you follow it, does it go to the valve cover and connect to the PCV valve? See pic below. If it does, the opposite side should be to either the air inlet tube or throttle body.

Let me know.

Hi,

I'm sorry, but I don't have access to the part numbers. It may be due to the model year. As far as the hose, can you tell me where it leads on either end?

Let me know.

Good morning sir, I got this vapor canister on the Internet, can it work for my model. Where does the hose from the vapor canister leads to. If this is resolved, I have just these two intake manifold hoses figure out, we are good for the the moment. What are the two hoses and where do they connect. All your contributions and efforts are well appreciated. God bless you abundantly.
