Vacuum Hose Part Number (VSV to Throttle Body)

Hey there. I have 1999 Camry LE 5S-FE 4-cylinder. I have a vacuum hose that is cracked and needs replacing due to a P0446 code. This hose runs from the Vacuum Switching Valve to the Throttle Body (I think) and is about 17 inches long. The crack is on the Throttle Body side, above the air intake hose. Here are photos:

As a temporary fix, a friend and I cut off the cracked portion and added electrical tape, which seemed to seal the air leak and turn off the Check Engine light. After a couple of weeks and 95+ temperatures, the Check Engine light came on again and I saw the heat melted the electrical tape.

I went to Advance Auto Parts for a replacement hose, but the hose was too wide. I went to AutoZone and received a hose that seemed to be snug (4mm) but seemed a bit too long, but the Check Engine light remains on.

Does anyone have any idea what the Toyota part number might be for this hose that runs from the Vacuum Switching Valve to the Throttle Body? I think it may be 90999-92002. Thank you in advance.

My 1998 Rav4's throttle body and VSV are similar to or the same as your Camry's. This alternative worked well on my Rav4:

Go to Autozone and purchase the necessary feet of J30R7 hose, 1/4 inch diameter.

At the VSV end, drill out the hose a bit as needed to fit on the port.

Use a little liquid soap to make the hose go on easier at each end.

I took mine off, went to NAPA and got a replacement vacuum hose for like $1.67..theres some people who say you need emissions hose dud to the fact that fumes travel through it etc... .its been about 8 years and so far im fine running on the cheap regular vacuum hose.The emission hose was not available so rather than wait who knows how long i juist got the regular vacuum.... but you can ask for emissions tubing although it may cost more.


if Toyota still has it, its probably going to be like $20 or more!
