How close are the 97 and 00 QX4, do you know, then I can take a pix and with your help display it.
But if your QX4 is still together, not with any tubing removed, buy some wire markers and mark all tubes on all items involved, as you go thru each item the hose numbering goes up 1 digit. Make sure the no. of the tube and its related port are numbered the same
Also make and keep notes and if you have a digital camera take pictures.
You will need at least 1-0 then when you have to do 10, 11, and 12 etc just put 2 wire markers to indicate the higher number. Keep your hands clean, dirty wire markers do not stick well with dirt.
Some vacuum comes off of a header or a larger chamber to cushion the vacuum, this is where you will make notes.
The EGR can be a bear at times, but using a weighted hammer and carefully tapping this carbon prone valve often loosens up the carbon and you may be able to blow with compressed air. The IAC valve can be checked when warm idle at 750 RPM then turn on A/C, if the valve works the idle goes up.
The PCV comes off, shake it if it rattles you should be all right, the vacuum pulls crankcase crap up to the intake.
Left of the PCV valve , do you mean attached to the left side of PCV or left of?
