how to tell if your intake hose is going bad 

So helpful. I took my truck in and told the counter guy, I have to let the truck warm up a long time otherwise it will either die when I press the gas, or it sputters and doesn't move for 20 seconds or so, then lurches into drive. Even after I'm driving for awhile it sometimes makes a jerking motion when accelerated. It also makes a ticking sound, most notable when started (lifter maybe?). The guy at the counter didn't even look up from his phone and just kinda nodded, I'm guessing bc I'm a woman and can't possibly know a thing about cars, even though I grew up with 4 brothers,dad,grandpa who r all gearheads and an uncle who's a high performance mechanic/drag racer. After 1wk he said we thought we fixed it but on test drive,found something else wrong... 2wks later he told me it was the trans wiring harness. I drove it home, seemed fine. The next day, same exact issues. No idea what cost 1300, but he's going to hear about it when I take it back!

I'm brand new to the cruiser community. I was "gifted" a '96 fzj80 for a really good deal, but it was basically never maintained! The fact that there are no major problems is insane. Your videos are super helpful in getting to know the vehicle and hear from someone that's ahead of the maintenance and repair game comepared to me. Relatively simple, straight to the point, easy to follow, well narrated. Keep'em coming!

This is such a great series of maintenance before mods for me and the lx450. Literally I'm following along.

@1:33 of course it’s helpful and appreciated. The fact that all this information is available for free is extremely special to me. I appreciate just the fact you took the time to edit the video, that alone takes hard work and effort. Nice work.

looking on buying a 80s series your vids are really helping me on decision making and being in the know on this vehicle thanks!

Just bought a 91 LC. Subscribed to your channel for maintenance items I can do myself before mods. Thanks for sharing

Great video, my Lexus rx400h was hissing very loud installing, your video saved me a lot of money thank you!

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

Very helpful, I'm in the market for one and your videos are prepping me.

Awesome info!!! I’ll be checking my intake hoses

Well done bro! Keep up the good work! My Landie is a 93 HDJ81 Turbodiesel.

I replaced both of these hoses, though not at the same time. If you’re doing one, you might as well do both. Yes, they are a bit spendy, but if one is cracking the other is probably right behind it! (As I found out). Thanks for another great video!

this has been SUPER helpful! Thanks for posting and posting consistently! I'm subscribed!

Love the channel. Don't have a Land Cruiser but love the videos!

Great info Keep the videos coming.

Excellent video very helpful keep them coming

When you have already done this repair yourself but you watch anyway lol

Great Videos keep up the great work & yes they are very helpful.

Love your content! Thanks!

Great videos....!!!

Great videos 🔥🔥🔥

Thank you. Greetings from Dubai, LX450 here

I had lots of hairline cracks in the flexi piece. Very hard to find oem part, so I tried repair instead. I used black rubber spray (comes in an aerosol can) and black "liquid tape" on spots where cracks were a little bigger. Worked great, cost about $20 total, and still solid after 6 years on my '91 fj80 😊

You rock dude.

Very helpful.

If the hoses are really bad or the seal isn't good, it can cause the engine to start then stall out, idle rough or other things that may have you dreading major engine issues (ask me how I know...). I'm currently waiting for my OEM replacement hoses. Great video series!

Love your channel! I know I’ll have requests as I become familiar with my 1997 lx450.

Good job, keep it up

Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Thanks fam.

Awesome work. Many thanks. Please keep keep coming. What replacement/service/fixes does one need to make on the FJ80 if you intend to use it for frequent long distance journeys

Excelent video

Very informative video. How about a video on the PHH? 😆

Good info

I needed this video. tightened the cables and it's like a new ride. Also where did you get the hoses

My cruiser would stall in reverse low range. Couldn't figure out what the issue was until I looked at the inner intake(flexy). Was super cracked. Engine would torque it open in low reverse but ran fine in drive. Haven't ordered new intake yet but used some adhesive silicon to fill it up. Worked like a charm. But i will have to do a bunch of these repairs this you have done winter. Keep it up. Maybe do a diff breather upgrade? Mine are plugged and I've just popped em off and ran new hose up high and outta way for now.

helpful 😊

Hi! Your videos are a life saver! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻… Can you suggest me to where I can buy the full Exhaust System for my 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser 4.0L ? Please advise! Thank you so much for your videos!

Your videos are very helpful to the Land Cruiser community more so to the 91-92 owners, I have some issues with mine regarding to brakes, have you done something to your truck so it breaks better than normal ?

Just did mine today, thank you! I noticed that a lot of my vacuum hoses were disconnected. Could you go over your vacuum hose? I have an early 92 and most of the schematics online are for late 92 onward. Thank you for the videos!

can you make a video on trouble shooting power steering and replacing power steering unit?

Any chance of a water pump replacement video?

Can a air intake cause engine vibration on my Toyota Corolla hose was all ripped and hanging

Great videos! Just got a ‘91 and getting ready to do all preventative maintenance. Unfortunately it did not pass the emission test, could you maybe show possible maintenance to prevent this? such as dealing with catalytic converters, and co2 sensors among others? Thank you for making these videos!

No heater core in side the dashboard

My intake duct is completely deteriorated.. just found out today no idea how long it's been that way

Where did you get all your parts for this video from?

Where did u get those parts from?
