Mine in Post #7 does not have the third big nipple.

My Aluminum thing on the power steering pump a a #1 and #3 stamped into it.

Here's the first of the 2 distributor hoses... Note the stamped numbers ont he aluminum thing for reference....

I don't have the white bolted down connector at all. It is the one at the bottom left of the picture to the left of the red one. Not plug end or the thing it plugs into. :confused:
 
And a few more from the thing on the intake...

Holy cow, I really thought some of you guys knew more about the venerable 22RE than this. OK, here's my input:

Pic 1: the distributor on the EFI engines does not have a vacuum advance. The ECU controls the ignition advance. That aluminum part you are referring to is NOT on the distributor, it is on the power steering pump. It's function is to increase the engine idle very slightly if you are at full-lock on the steering, so the engine has enough power to run the pump at maximum pressure.

Pic in post #7: that is the idle up controller, it is part of the AC system. Trucks without AC won't have this thing. When you turn the AC on, a VSV on the valve cover sends vacuum to this thing, which causes the engine idle to increase. Based on your pic #2 in post 3, your VSV is MISSING, so your AC system might not even work properly now. It's supposed to be in the middle if the valve cover, right behind the TOYOTA logo. I am also guessing that the wire connector you posted later on is supposed to attach to this missing VSV.

Tip: The little white knob is where you can set how much the engine idle increases with the AC on. Kinda handy, as I currently don't have the belt on my compressor (compressor is leaking), but if I push my AC switch on the dash, I still get the idle increase. Good for keeping the battery charged up while winching.

Comment: my FSM has never let me down with all this stuff. It's all in there, where each thing goes, where each hose connects, how to test each component, etc. You just have to be patient, read carefully. I find a MitiVac tool very handy to testing devices that work under vacuum.

Thanks for the info.

I do not want to buy a FSM to work on the neighbors truck. I'm doing this R & R free of charge to begin with.

Ah, understood. Well, then your neighbor needs to suck it up and buy one. A 20 year old vehicle is going to have issues, and you really need the proper tool to fix it, in this case the best reference.
 
LOL!

Here is the thread with a little more about the owner and the troubles I started with. :D

Some aftermarket crap. That is not OEM.
 
I have almost everything figured out.

What connect the the bottom nipple on the EGR valve?

What connects to the two nipple on the AC idle adjuster on the engine side of the aluminum air intake. It is in the middle picture of post # 3.

In the bottom picture of post #3 you can see the hose that connects to a VSV valve. My manual shows the for M/T Trucks only and shows it going to a filter about 1" past the VSV. Right now it has a 2' long hose attached to it. Does it need a filter or where does it connect.
