I hope this doesn't post twice. There was an error posting it the first time.
These vacuum line schematics are impossible to read. I guess I see why no one is able to figure this out. It is impossible to sort out everything and find exactly where each connection goes in the tiny spaces covered by vacuum lines routed to valves, sensors, etc.
Yes, the "choke opener" is attached to the carburetor.
I am located in Minnesota but bought the truck in New Mexico. According to the emissions control sticker, my 1987 Toyota IS NOT California emissions rated, it is Federal rated.
The plugged metal vacuum line with the vertical yellow arrow #2 (from my new attached picture) is connected to a small group of metal tubes that branch out going to other areas of the engine with rubber vacuum line connections.
The FED schematic you furnished appears to show a vacuum line coming from the plugged choke opener going to the other plugged tube, but then splits off somewhere else as best as I can tell.
Here is another surprise: I found another plugged off vacuum connection on the carburetor directly above the plugged metal tube (arrow #2) next to the adjustment screws, arrow #3 (see attached picture). Arrows #1 and #2 are the ones we have previously been discussing. Arrow #3 is a new discovery.
So, now there are three plugged vacuum lines! What a mess! The problem has to be found somewhere in these vacuum lines. How to figure out where they go?
