What's this?

[Herbert]

I got my "new" FJ62. I have several small things to fix and I'm waiting for my shop manual. Meanwhile maybe you guys can help me out.
I noticed a little hissing sound (sssssssssssssss) coming from the engine compartment. I traced it to several little holes in the following piece of equipment.

I'm not sure if it is a vacuum related valve of sorts. What is it for?

Thanks so much.

It's one of the air hoses. I'm not exactly sure what it does though...You may want to replace it along with the other air hoses.

looks like the backflow preventer for the smog pump / air rail

Right.. At the end of the hose that is a check valve.

Just curious. Do the holes in there cause any malfunction?

I had to replace mine shortly after purchasing my rig. I had a hole in the check valve that eventually led to that whole hose blowing out. go to sor and order the check valve and a new hose. Fairly cheap and easy fix.
