Idle Control Valve hoses changed: 300 TE

[Ron in SC]

I cracked the idle control hose on the right (the easy one to get to) when I removed the valve for cleaning.

So I decided to change them both hoses out since they were hard as a rock. After reading the threads dealing with changing the hoses I went ahead and did same.

The one on the left, the one that the cold start valve goes into was hard to install. I used a different clamp since I could not get the spring loaded one reinstalled.

The item circled in the red in the photo is one of the new hoses and the item circled in yellow is the screw for the new clamp.
