I have one too that I haven't installed yet on my 1MZFE...No help here all I know is you have to find a vacuum hose and use the T splitter which is included and run that to the back of the gauge.

i had one in the gen4... you tap into the vac. line on your intake manifold with the T-fitting... looks like this it is in the Haynes manual...

sorry for the crappy quality - but if you buy a haynes manual - you will have this info
on this pic AND how to read the gauge... here are some web refrences also

any of the rear facing hoses will do.

this is where my tee is for my acis actuator.

thanks for the info but those pic. still don't show nothing to me.. is there any one that has the same motor as me 98 v6 and has a pic. that show witch line am i suppose to T into??

OK STOP NOW.

if you dont know which hose has vacuum on it, you DO NOT need a vacuum gauge.

if your engine is running you have intake vacuum.

the end.

seriously man... how can they do nothing

- i posted a pic out of the haynes manual for a 97-99 camry that is the v6 motor AND the vaccum gauge is pluged in... there is even an arrow point the exact line to use...

if you can't see it, just go buy a 15/20 haynes manual - much more info. in there for you

Exactly where my vacuum guage is Zoni.

***zoni*** · 10-06-2005, 07:06 AM

yeah, that hose should go around the back of the engine, not the front like that red one is going in my engine bay... that is a T in for the blow off valve

good luck.
