Awesome video. Had a check engine light this morning watched the video and found out my hose is cracked too. Recently changed the intake hose because it cracked in the same place. Great video!!!
Thank you this helped me out a lot, i had the same problem and thought it was the fuel cap but the check engine light kept coming on after i replaced it, it didn't click to me to check the hoses, can you do a video on how to clean the mass air flow sensor next, I'm having trouble locating it
Good to hear, Thanks. I believe the mass air flow sensor is located on the air filter box cover, there are 2 electrical connectors on it the one closer to fender is the one. See my other video on replacing intake hose assembly see link ua-cam.com/video/fHg4SAZt36M/v-deo.html it will show air filter box connecters.
not sure if you guys gives a damn but if you're bored like me atm then you can watch all the new movies and series on instaflixxer. Have been watching with my girlfriend for the last couple of months =)
I have the same code and DO smell gas. My mechanic replaced the charcoal canister, and now I can't even put gas in the tank without the gas pump shutting off (gas is on empty). Have no idea what to do from here).
Good video, my car is a 2003 Toyota Camry it has the same code i have seen several mechanics and nobody gave this alternative, they even made me change the catalytic and nothing. I have spend money and the code was not fixed, I will review what you suggest, I give you my like and right now subscribe. Thanks you very much. Luis
Thank you for the like and subscribing it helps me out. OMG they made you change catalytic thats big bucks, don't know that has to do with evaporative system P0442 code. Good luck with your repair.
Honestly sometimes it's better to go to the folks who only work on your engine, the dealer. These SOB hole in the wall repair shops can be very incompetent. BTW you can't be "made" to replace a part such as a catylitic converter. Plus the cat has its own specific trouble code.
@@rkgsd Unfortunately, dealer techs can also be incompetent and are quite often overworked so they miss plenty of stuff too...all while charging a bunch more than the local guy. If your car is out of warranty by a bunch of years, don't expect them to always be helpful.
I’m curious cause hose size be a factor into my p0401 code not clearing, when I was replacing my egr valve and vaccum modulator I had to replace the hose it didn’t dawn on me that upsizing a hose can cause fault
So you can use a vacuum line with a smaller diameter but not larger opening than the original. I'm thinking a smaller opening creates a tighter seal on the connectors too
my message in video is do not install a larger tube it will cause P0442. The original tube is 3/16 I had replace with larger 1/4 tube it cause P0442 code check engine light on. I replace it again back to 3/16 tube and the check engine light P0442 cleared. So 3/16 tube is good and 1/4 Not good. With all that said another UA-camr commented the reason my 1/4 tube did not work was it was too big at connected ends causing leaks. This maybe true because when i replace with 1/4 tube i remember i could not use the original pinch clamps and had to get larger clamps on the ends. I remember the connected ends were somewhat loose. When i reinstall with 3/16 tube the connected ends were so tight i don't even think i needed to put on pinch clamps, this time i was able to put back original pinch clamps.
@@databug88 Great info. I believe the UA-camr you referenced is correct. I also noticed some UA-camrs fixing the P0442 by replacing the check valve on the top of the gas tank. Way too many possible causes for these EVAP codes.
Dear god I hope this is my issue. Got mine cash about 4 years ago. I have the same non-OEM hose in the same place. Ive been chasing this issue for months. Replaced a bad solenoid , had a "major leak" code, now just a "small leak" but cant get an inspection with. this CEL. Heres hoping!
As I remember When i install 1/4 tube I could not re use the original OEM pinch clamps as they were too small I had to get larger screw clamp when using the 1/4 tube. Another UA-camr commented the larger tube cause leaks at connected ends. When i replace with smaller 3/16 tube the conn ends were very tight and original OEM clamps work fine on them. The conn ends were so tight I don't think i needed to put back the OEM clamps. Hope it all works out for you.
I reset the chk engine light w scanner after new correct hose install and check engine light stayed off. I think if you waiting for it to go off on its own it may take a week bc it takes a week if check light will come on again.
I have the same issue, went to my mechanic and it looks like he did in fact change the hose with a quarter inch tube he had laying around. Just go be clear, your new tube is 1/8th on both ends? also where did you get the final replacement one from? thanks!
the new replacement tube is actually 3/16, I did in video refer to it as 1/8 that was a mistake. It is 3/16 tube from local auto parts store. As one other UA-camr commented because a larger 1/4 was use the connected end clamps do not do a good job clamping the larger tube and causes leaks. so the correct 3/16 tube puts a tight seal around connected ends.
@@databug88 Man i spent hours trying to fit this damn 1/8th in lol I went back to my 1/4th hose that someone put on it for now cus i couldnt fit this damn 1/8th. You should make a pin comment with that correction.
I purchase tube from local Advance Auto store. its sold by the foot all you need is 2 feet. Any local auto parts store should have them. note it is 3/16 tube it will bit tight to put on but it is right size. DO NOT use 1/4" that's what trigger the P0442 code.
I had the same problem with the same hose but in my case I couldn't get it , no at autoparts store , no at the toyota dealer so I had to use a regular hose that somehow do the job.
You are some what right.... After some other comments I concluded its not the bigger size but because i put a bigger hose the pinch clamps were not able to seal tight the connected end thus causing a small leak!. I remember i could not use the original pinch clamps w the bigger hose as it was too small and i replace w new bigger pinch clamps, this was a bad idea as the new bigger pinch clamps were not able to seal tight the connection. when I replace it with smaller tube 3/16 the connected ends were so tight i didn't really need pinch clamps but i put was able to put back the original pinch clamps anyway.

This worked…. Had the smallest little slit on one of the hoses. Thank you so much

@@databug88 okay I'll check it out, thanks again
@@databug88 your correct 👌🏼
Had same issue. The larger hose allowed for a leak at the connection. I put on better hose clamp and it fixed it.
Yep, I would never thought a larger tube would be such headache lol.

@Ian Moshe yup, have been watching on InstaFlixxer for years myself =)
Great info!, I never would have guessed👍
thank you. my check engine light came on after moving this hose for other issues. Im going to replace it like you did.
Make sure its 3/16 Tube NOT bigger !
I originally relplace with 1/4 tube and that cause my engine light. Hope it helps.
@@databug88 good call, as you said in the video, I could totally see myself thinking it was larger. Thanks again.
Thank you for your video. It is very clear ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️
You are welcome!
Very Thorough!!!!! Thank U!!
You're welcome!
My camry smoke test failed by the canister but I hear air escaping by the driver door so possible hoses also need to be changed?
Did you smell fuel when you had your problem.? Thanks
no did not smell gas.
I have the same code and DO smell gas. My mechanic replaced the charcoal canister, and now I can't even put gas in the tank without the gas pump shutting off (gas is on empty). Have no idea what to do from here).
Oh wow!! Good info there man. Thanks!

Question: did check engine light turn off immediately after replacing with correct hose size?
Or did you have to clear the code with the code checker?
i clear the code it never came back
I’m curious cause hose size be a factor into my p0401 code not clearing, when I was replacing my egr valve and vaccum modulator I had to replace the hose it didn’t dawn on me that upsizing a hose can cause fault
The upsizing cause the fault because the clamps were no longer able to clamp down the oversize tube enough so it leak at the connection.
Excellent video

Hey can you pls let me know where is obd port location & which obd tool I can use to scan? Thanks

How long did it take for the check engine light to turn off after you put the proper hose in place?

yes 3/16 on both ends it will make it tight fit seal. good luck
Does the length of the 3/16 tube need to be the same as the old tube?

Hello friend Very Nice vídeo
Thank you very much!
What size did u use for that hose u replaced
I replace it with 3/16 tube. The original tube at ends will look like 1/4 but its not bc its been stretch after all these years.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Did you have any overheating?
No overheating, just check engine code P0442
Where i can get that tube please thanks
Auto parts store
Ok
What size hose is that?
the correct tube size is 3/16
Do NOT use 1/4 if you use a 1/4 it is too big to make a tight seal at conn ends and will cause a leak.
4 or 6 cylinder?
4 cylinder
Wow🙆♂️👍👏👏🙏
it's a coincidence because bigger hose does not cause the code to set. why don't your put the bigger hose back to validate the issue?
You are some what right....
After some other comments I concluded its not the bigger size but because i put a bigger hose the pinch clamps were not able to seal tight the connected end thus causing a small leak!.
I remember i could not use the original pinch clamps w the bigger hose as it was too small and i replace w new bigger pinch clamps, this was a bad idea as the new bigger pinch clamps were not able to seal tight the connection. when I replace it with smaller tube 3/16 the connected ends were so tight i didn't really need pinch clamps but i put was able to put back the original pinch clamps anyway.
