how important or does it matter

I have a non turbo 3.0 1988 supra that runs great , but when i bought the car , the person who had the car before me said , that he did not think that the vacuum pipes were connected to the right places .I have since looked on our site and found a diagram of the pipes of a turbo model [i think] and some if not all of the pipes are going to the wrong place . Can anyone please tell me if this will cause the car any harm , or does it not matter , as it is trivial , any help on the matter would be appreciated , especially the vacuum diagram of a non turbo [UK model]

I got a repair manual that came with the car (cuz I needed it already)lol

But idk if its jus for the usdm engine but I will try to look for the diagram and post it as soon as I can

Now ask yourself this: will a car run "properly" if the doors are put on upside down??

And........If the transmission is mounted backwards, can I just reverse the shift pattern to drive "properly" ??

Same answer for the vacuum lines routing.

usually there is a hose diagram right under the hood on one of these little white stickers that no one ever looks at .

At the Cygnus X1 On-Line site, the TSRM "Emissions Control Systems" section and "EFI Systems" section have some diagrams that might help you out. And when you get it straightend out, take a lot of pictures. I did that and they proved invaluable.

Whatever happened to "Chilton" books? Have they gone out of business? I always thought they were the greatest.

If you had taken his comment light-hearted and not so belligerently, you would've seen thru his sarcasm and got your answer. What he tried to say was that the car will run with the vacuum hoses in the wrong places. But it will not run to potential. It will not run the way it should. Now if they are in the right place, then the car will run the way it should. I don't know how long you have owned the car, in case you havent noticed yet, you will need to make sure everything is running right otherwise it WILL come back to bite you in the arse.

And you might want to be more careful with whom you pick fights with in the future. He is also a moderator of this site. No one on this forum is looking to pick fights with anyone. Albeit, his response was not the best way to put it, but it did get the point across. Present yourself this way again and I'm sure that the forum members will be discouraged to help you.

Follow this and reroute your vacuum lines.

New answer: YES ! it can/may cause harm to the car !
Yes ! It does matter ! Things should function properly.
NO ! It is NOT trivial.

Everything under the hood serves a purpose. Toyota (or any manufacturer) would not waste $$$$ placing things under the hood (bonnet) that were un-necessary (trivial).
