im still in the process of finishing my 3vz-fe but am running into some last minute troubles...i have 3 places for hoses to attach to but cant find the fourth unless its setup wrong...one is on the intake chamber...if ur looking at the engine its towards the right on the chamber on the underside before the throttle body, it points directly at you (if u were lookin at it)...i believe this goes to a hose connector on the back of the throttle body...both connectors are the same size. The third one i have is wut i cant figure out..since its only one...it has no where to go...this is y im confused...This one is (if ur lookin at the engine) slightly to the right of the intake chamber on the intake manifold...its right by the nut that goes on the intake chamber (slightly behind it)..it points directly upwards....wer does this go?! Ive looked at countless pics and diagrams but cant find where it leads to. Id post pics if i knew how! Ive visited toyota dealership countless times and they can never tell me even with the pics. I spent all last nite going page by page through the hayes manual and page by page on the internet on autozones website hoping sumthing would help. I dont know anyone around my area with a 3vz-fe! so i need help from sum owners here! pictures are appreciated or if u could simply tell me is all good too.
*another sensor connector i have is by the front (near radiator) by the exhaust manifold, its originally ziptied to the o2 sensor...i cant find a home for this sensor...toysrme mentioned it might not go anywhere really, just has sum type of cap to it but he wasnt sure....anyone know wut this may be for?? once again i have pics but cant seem to post pics
edit: got pics to work, yay:
^i think i found its home on the throttle body...not positive tho its the right one
^still not sure wer this goes
^anyone know wer this mount goes...i think its part of the toque mount thing but agian not sure...i have nothing to compare it to
^not sure wer or wut this should connect to...if anything besides being capped
for the connector part, the 02 sensor already has a connector to it, this is one i have is actually originally zip tied to the 02 sensor wire. as for the throttle body/coolant thing, thats wut i thot at first (if ur referring to connecting the two in the first two pics) but the connectors are for different size hosing, the one on the intake chamber i found (i think) goes to the throttle body, i found one existing connector the same size w/o a hose so i connected the two....which leaves me with the one from the second pic w/no where to go
not to sound like an @$$, but why dont you get a book? that way you dont have sit and wait for an anwser... i dunno about you, but im not that patient!! but as said before the pictures are hard to tell, you should take some more, zoomed out, to give an idea where these close ups are

I do have a book but for the hayes is mostly 1mz-fe and i cant find pics of hoses for 3vz since they are diff. Diagrams i have come across given to me by a local toyota dealership serve no purpose, nothing is marked and barely readable...i have no v-6 locally i kno of my year so i turn to here in search of answers, along w/my thread about my car wont start
as for more pics i dont always have access to a camera, i figured anyone with a 3vz should beable to tell by lookin at their own, ive described locations of each picture in a preceding post to assist in location
