If there are threee ports on it then it is used as a manifold vacuum source. The device is some sort of filter to keep junk from getting sucked into the intake. It's position 23265 (in the middle of the page) identified simply as "filter" in this schematic: http://www.sweetillusions.org/toyota/6.pdf
It is a filter. If you pull it off, blow some air through it and cap off 3 of the holes and make sure it does not leak with a hand pump on the 4th one. After I cleaned mine out, I got the vacuum to come up a little on the 3 lines.
Is there four holes on it? I thought it was only three.
If there are four, how do you determine which one to test for leakage? By hand pump do you mean a vacuum pump?
Thanks
toyota officially calls it a "gas filter" which to me seems a bit misleading. i just bought a new one for my 60. here's the OE part number:
90917-11027
my rig is due for the dreaded california loaded mode smog test in may so i've started early by trying to make sure that everything is in good shape. i failed and got slapped with the "gross polluter" label the last time around. also found two of my VCVs were bad...tiny hairline cracks barely visible to the eye, but enough to prevent them from doing their job.

FYI for all of you californians. the smog tests have now added two more parts to the test: a visible tailpipe smoke test, (a purely subjective call made by the smog tech,) and a low pressure EVAP test.
they're going to apply pressure to the fuel filler and clamp off the vapor hose as close to the charcoal canister as they can. so basically all of your EVAP plumbing from the fuel tank neck all the way to the charcoal canister needs to be sound or else you will fail. the big irony here is that you could be clean as far as what's coming out of the tailpipe, but fail for a .040" inch leak in one of your EVAP lines.

Let me know if you need any little valves or anything. I have collected quite a bit of extra smog parts. I have not heard about that new test.. thanks

What vacuum readings are you getting at the 3 lines coming off the "gas filter" referenced above? I'm checking various points along my vacuum system (and trying to figure out which part of the EGR system is not working right. Why does bypassing it make it run SO much better?)
I hooked my diagnostic vacuum gauge to the different ports on the fuel filter while driving around today. The most vacuum I get is about 8-9 inches while driving. I suspect this is too low, but I'm not sure.
Can the vehicles labeled that stay on road?
For reference, I also don't think it matters which vacuum hose you hook up where on the top of it- I think they all have the same vacuum. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
