One good thing, I guess, about monkeying around the throttle body and
idle air control valve, was that I discovered two additional coolant
hoses that I'd missed.

I'd already changed the top and bottom radiator hoses, and 3 coolant
hoses going to the heater core, but I'd neglected to change the two
hoses going to the IAC valve.

Anyone have part numbers for these two hoses (going to the IAC valve),
for a '96 4-cyl. Camry?

Besides Toyota original parts, what brands are recommended? AutoZone
has Goodyear, for a few bucks a foot. Tempted, but...?

Any other coolant hoses that I should know about? I've got 141,500
miles on my '96 Camry, and I sure wouldn't want to have a coolant hose
bust on me.

Thanks

Did you change them with Toyota hoses or aftermarket?

In my humble opinion the original hoses could last longer than
replacements unless you're going back with original equipment parts.

I have seen Toyota coolant hoses fail, but that was after swelling and
obvious softness on my 1977 Toyota truck (hidden under the
carburetor). Let's see, that was about 10 yrs. ago, and it's 30 yrs.
old now, so it would have been around 20 yrs. then.

They say hoses can go bad from the inside, but with Toyota coolant and
distilled water, I haven't seen any indication of this so far.

Kragen hoses or other non Toyota hoses completely different story.
Plan on replacing them every couple of years.

Guess I'll add the two IAC hoses to my Wish List, and when I get $100
worth of parts, I'll place my order (to get the free shipping).

I was going to get a new EGR modulator for $45 or so, but the $11 part
I got from the junkyard is holding up just fine, so far. (My wife's
idea.) It's quite an experience, going to a junkyard for a part.
Engines lying everywhere... piles of hubcaps... a differential cut
open, so you could see the parts... the guy there had a bin full of
EGR modulators. I chose the one with the cleanest filter element.
Not every junkyard had Toyota parts - I had to call 5 different parts
dealers until I found one that had Toyota parts.

What about the rest of the hoses?

Personally I wouldn't go with store-name specials in typical parts
stores. However I would specify Gates at any parts store or just go to
the local NAPA. Small diameter generic hoses are about $1 per foot at
NAPA. Do specify that you want ATF, coolant, or fuel/EVAP, because
they are different rubber formulations.

Toyota asked their techs to use only Gates timing belt when the 5SFE
was having belt stretch problems and they didn't know what to do.
That's a vote of confidence. They later went with the cheaper Dayco
with a Toyota name on it, too bad. www.rockauto.com have good prices
on Gates belts and hoses (but the local NAPA is faster), so no need to
settle for anything less.

What other hoses?

I'd already changed the top/bottom rad hoses, and 3 hoses to the
heater core.

Did that... got 7 ft. of Gates hose at NAPA.

Now comes the fun part... I can see where one hose goes to an area
near the distributor, but the other gose goes from the IACV to...
somewhere... between the intake manifold and the engine.

Any suggestions on how to get there, to change the hose?

I'd rather not remove the intake manifold, if I can help it...

Thanks,

Michael
