1995 Toyota Celica - What is this hose supposed to connect to? Sign In

This car is a 95 Celica with the 1.8L 4 cylinder engine, around 230k miles. I am working on this for a friend, and noticed this hose was just laying there disconnected... any idea where it is supposed to lead? Any input is greatly appreciated!

Links to pics are below.

Thanks!

They showed for me but didn't know? One seemed connected to a check valve then off to nowhere? Only suggestion is to look for a place the length of that hose with nothing on it without more detail???? Tom

This may be a stupid question, but what is a check valve and what could its purpose be in that location?

"Check Valve" I meant a device that would allow flow only in one direction.


HT, anyone, It was about a 10mm hose between firewall and towards manifold on engine. If it isn't running like total crap over this it may be some evaporator system something but appeared it was supposed to be there not just some dropped piece of hose.


Mattcooper93 - Again if you get to see it swing as far as it goes for something it would fit on unless you think it was cut off and some IDK thing was removed?? Appeared like some vacuum hose, no clamp left on and some don't require one.


More guesses as to what could be there that does NOT alter the way it may run.........


*Cooling system overflow hose?


* Vent hose for something to the air intake snorkel but was at the wrong end?


It belongs where it should be - they don't put stuff around for laughs so do find out. Best I can do and seem to have the only magic view of the pics. Try another hosting site may work for others? Photobucket, minipics have worked for many. Could use a shot from backed away some more.


If not running well or it makes a noise or has vacuum this must be found right away,
