brake booster line???

[AlaskaTy]

I'm looking to run some TEC through my engine tomorrow, and I've read all the steps and know to do change the oil/plugs etc. (it's about time for a fresh tune up anyway.) People say to pour about 2/3 to 3/4 of the can in slowly through the brake booster line without stalling the engine. I looked all over for confirmation on where the brake booster line is, but couldn't find it...it's the larger diameter black pseudo "s" shaped hose coming out of the intake manifold on the driver's side right? Also do I have to use a smaller vac hose to draw the TEC fluid out from the bottle, or can I shove a funnel in the brake booster hose and slowly pour it in?

You got it man! Its the large "s" shaped hose between the drivers side of the upper intake and the brake booster/master cylinder.

Its you're choice on how to run the TEC, funnel or suction....Im sure they will both work

Whenever I do the TEC, I actually remove the Upper intake and the TB, and clean them both with aerosol BG44K. Its kind of over kill, but it gets everything sparkling clean on the inside!

thanks a lot. Just wanted to make sure before I dumped a bunch of crap into my engine :wink:

It's a lot easier to get the aerosol version and just spray it in the throttle body. =)

Aerosol version of the TEC, or BG 44K?
Didn't know they made either actually.

The BG is better IMO :tup:
