Hi dear friends of Prado Point,

I bought a 98 prado which is a 3.4 petrol rv6 recently, yesterday when I did some job under the hood I found there are 2 vacant vacuum connectors on the throttle body, no pipe hanging around, just two empty connectors opened to the air. I just wandering is this normal or it means some pipe missed? The car drives fine, no strange noise or power lose etc..

Please see the pic for the details


Thanks mates!

cheers

Ted

Thanks Raydes! I was thinking to use a vacuum pipe to block them to avoid dust coming in

Cheers

Yes, that's original, mine used to look the same. Look closely inside them, they'd definitely be blocking the pipes - otherwise dirty air would be contaminating the intake, and the engine idle speed would be increased.
