Yes, I see in the pics a few hose clamps are not even on the hose they are supposed to be on, like in the first pic, the hose clamp is just chillin'. Some of those hoses are made of a hard plastic, and have gotten very brittle. Some of them didn't survive the swap. Seeing as they are vacuum hoses, and will have to withstand some suction pressure, is there a cheap alternative for those hoses, or will I have to shell out money to the dealership to replace vacuum hoses?
I brought that line item to the attention of my boy that runs the self help shop (used to be a Toyota dealership tech). It's actually, the bolt is broken and it's going to require tapping to get the broken part out. He suggested not to worry about that particular item right now.[/quote]
No such thing as a stupid question! And thank you for taking the time to look at the pics and comment. The fuel rail from the '03 had some big differences from the fuel rail in the '02. For instance, the '03 fuel rail passes fuel from one bank to the other, in the front of the intake (radiator side). The '02 fuel rail passes it from one bank to the other, behind the intake. Upon discovering that, I took the fuel rail off the '02 and put it on the '03 engine that's in the car now.
Can any of these vacuum lines prevent the car from starting? What about any security features? Could security features have been triggered?
