Helppp; Intake manifold plug and bracket nightmare

Sooo just did a head gasket job, took the whole intake manifold out, unhooked unplugged everything. I was counting on help from a more experienced mechanic who bailed, now im putting everything back together and trying to figure out where it all goes.

Anybody have detailed photos or diagrams? Its been difficult to find anything helpful on the internet. I think ive got some stuff in the right place, but the diagnostic box doesnt quite reach where its supposed to go etc. Something is funky and there are errant plugs and brackets all over.

Any and all help appreciated

 

There are more plugs, but difficult to capture on camera

 

There should be a vacuum diagram on the underside of the hood.

 

This will get u started
1996 2RZ after intake/plenum reassembled

 

IIRC
There are 3 pigtails hidden under intake

 

@ControlCar thank you!! Where does that loose pipe w two small brackets for individual screws go???

 

Also only seeling two plugs ??

 

think that is fuel return line one side goes to FPR.....
i will get better pix when i get home for you

 

one plug sits on top of the plenum and under the intake a solenoid
like inside the 'tunnel' space closer to the rear

 

At the top of the first gen forum is a section for pinned threads- one of those threads is a Factory Service Manual (FSM) thread. I highly suggest you head on over there- towards the tail of it, should be a few links to download a zip file with the FSM in it. You may or may not be able to find the exact year in that thread, i'm not sure... but an FSM for the 2.7 from 2003 probably isn't far off..

 

Here some more pix

 

That hard line…..
Fuel return line
From FPR to under manifold

 

This is the solenoid inside the intake tunnel

 

It’s all coming back to me……..

so there are 2 harness connections that need to be placed in between the gaps in the intake

 

On mine
They go to TB

 

Again
This is from my taco
Yours might be lil different
Andy’s advice is spot on

Thank you s o soooooo much!!! Does this washer go with the fuel line banjo bolt?

 

Hmmmmm

that’s a pretty fuckin thick washer/spacer
Beefy
Most all fuel washers are thin copper

after looking at mine
I’m going to guess the belt adjuster spacer for the power steering idler pulley
Like directly under valve cover
2nd highest pulley
The highest is the p/s pump pulley

 

Thank you so so much. I tried it there, it pushed the pulley out too much, and there was already a washer there. Maybe its extra..i dont know.

One more question. I just found these in the debris under my truck. I have never seen them before, nearly everything is put back together, and i have no idea what they are. It looks like the ends spin in something maybe, i dont even know if they are from my truck. There is no where for anything to fall out from anymore, and i have never seen them in the dirt before. It possible i missed them, but ive been down there pretty intensely for days. Help.
