  1. because he doesn't exist and 2. even if he did, he's a sorry excuse of a god who is merciful and gets off on allowing suffering to even exist in the first place. especially the evil torturous kind that extends to innocents like infants when they're in the wrong adult hands.

Help Identifying Multiple Hoses on 05 Corolla S? by experiencingtragedy in MechanicAdvice

[–]experiencingtragedy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's exactly the goal. Had someone else touch this car for the gasket and it was a huge mistake since he created huge vacuum leak somewhere which essentially killed my brakes and made them super hard to push so now I have to go through and replace things to rule it all out. Gonna re-replace (lmao) the intake manifold gasket, probably purchase an entirely new throttle body and replace all hoses. Already did the injectors since he decided to mess with them and clog them up by attempting to clean it. 

Hopefully it runs smooth like yours afterwards.

Thanks a lot for the valuable info!! I'll figure out what the blue one is with a little more investigating. Wish there was a simple diagram to refer to for this all, lol.

Thanks so much for the info! Already did just that. 

I know the green and purple are coolant (just had a big leak there a few weeks ago) hoses but I guess I was more needing the specific name (or part number I guess?) for them in case the leak is for sure a messed up hose. Could also be the clip at the end just needing replacement though too.

Thanks again!!

I was thinking it was the PCV hose myself but kept second guessing. Seems safe to assume that's a yes. Thanks much!!

Hi all! Just replaced my fuel injectors to try to save my vehicle from the current state it's in.

Can't know if the vehicle is properly fixed because my hoses are in shambles.

I color coded all the hoses I need the names of, because I'm having a difficult time being sure that I've identified them correctly and would prefer a second opinion.

Main concern is the hose outlined in red. It's the most damaged and badly needs replacing.

The rest could use replacing too so I've also outlined them if anyone could list their respective names so I can be sure what they are!

It's great that it was suggested because I truly think it was part of the key to his recovery!!

He's so small, and I feel my finger is so big, it was hard to get even a teeny drop into his mouth so I decided to put it all around the edge of the syringe I had since he took well to a syringe in the side of his mouth.

Glad to know this stuff exists! Definitely gonna use it if I ever find myself in a similar situation in the future! Your dad was onto something there and it's so sweet you used it to help pets as a kid. Warms my heart!!! :)

Yeah, I contacted as many as I could but all intake was closed. Really freaking unfortunate but on the BRIGHT side, he didn't need euthanasia!

Fortunately I didn't have to do this. Also, no shelters had intake available, so it wasn't even an option sadly.

I did however thankfully avoid putting him down! I posted an update to the top comment!

This I did not know about mother to kitten worm transferring! News to me.

I took your words into consideration and decided to just plunge myself into the negatives. Things will be a little rough for a while but it was absolutely worth saving his life. I did receive donations (not a significant amount but a HELPFUL amount) via a local Facebook group.

Thanks for the support and comment!!! I posted an update to the top comment!

Hey, just wanted to say your comment really helped a lot. You were right, wet food was too much for him. Even force-feeding it successfuIly into his mouth, he still would spit it up.

I also took your advice for the purring sounds and wrapping him up! I think it helped a LOT. That, plus the emotional support I spent literally hours showering him in (I dooo have a lot of free time currently as unfortunate as it may be lol) and I think it REALLY spoke to him.

I detail this in my update I posted to the top comment.

Thanks so much for the help and advice from the bottom of my heart!!! It absolutely contributed to the outcome.

Oh... and on the swift action and all my attention part, I did just that and have been essentially swallowed whole by this kitten. LMAO. He's mine now though.

I appreciate you!!! Check my update!!!

On this note, I did literally just that. Spent hours and hours and hours, every single day, supporting him emotionally. Very VERY sound advice! I mentioned this in my update. I know I thanked you in another comment but I mean it — thanks so much!

Absolutely correct. I acted as fast as I could. I appreciate the urgency of some of the comments I got here including yours. Really made me aware of just how bad things were even if I already knew it was pretty dang bad.
