    Help with finding brake booster line in 93-97 Corolla

    Hey guys, I posted this on the other VVT-i forum, but couldn't get any solid help. So here is my question, from these pics, can anyone show me which is the brake booster line that I use for Seafoam? Thanks a bunch

    Haha, it's called 2 years of neglect. My parents and I had our own cars, the Corolla was barely ever driven. So it is that thick hose with the metal clamp right? But I use the end connect to the black round disc thing (booster) ? Thx

    What was unclear about my post on VVT-i? The vacuum hose is the ONLY BLACK RUBBER HOSE that goes to the brake booster, the one that you took the pics of.

    Well, I'm completely mechanically chanllenged, so I wanted to make sure and not make any mistakes. The one thing I want to absolutely certain of is, which end of the hose do I use? The one connected to the booster? or the one connect to the metal ine? Thanks for all the help!

    edit: since I'm making myself look really n00b right now, can someone please tell me which one of the circled areas I take off to suck in Seafoam? 1 or 2? Thanks

    I would follow the metal line back to where it turns back into a rubber hose and have it suck the seafoam from there.. but either method works..

    And damn how did the strut bar get that rusted?

    Well, I finally used Seafoam today. I did follow your instruction and used the hose that was directly connect to the intake manifold (I think). After using 1/3 of the bottle, spread over 3 times of letting it settle, starting car, repeat, and 20 seconds of smoking, my car is running really smooth right now. It idles really quiet and smooth, can't even hear it any more. Thanks for all the help!
