Help!

The Valve from the EFI to the engine block broke.I Have a Gen 1 Seo. The vlave is r-shaped with a black hose going to the center of the EFI.

Do you mean the Red plastic one? coming up from the top of the rocker cover?

Replace it. It will cost about US$ 15.00. Its the PCV valve.

Replace the rubber Grommet it lives in too. They harden and leak. It's only a couple of Bucks.

Solution to everything-duct tape!!!

[toyotasera.co.uk]

The PCV valve contains a spring loaded ball bearing and is designed to regulate the internal pressure of the engine. If the internal pressure gets too high the excess pressure is ducted out of the engine and is drawn into the combustion chamber, where any excess oil is burnt and everything evactuated via exhaust.

Just in case you need them..

Part Numbers.

Grommet ..........90480-18006

Valve................12204-10030

These seem to be common across a few Toyota's so the dealer shouldn't have a problem getting them.

thanks for the help.

[Maximum Paseo]

wait..the part # on this valve is 12204-11040.

[Boro Sera]

Your dealer can confirm the part number. The number I gave you was on the bag that my new one came in. It may be a revised/superceded/cross referenced number and not the one listed on the spare parts CD (haven't checked).

It's definitely the right one for my engine though (5E-FHE).

Eitherway, if you go to the dealer., just get him to call up the diagram on screen and point it out to him. That's all I did.

ill have to go to my toyota dealer tomorrow then.

[Maximum Paseo]

Replace the rubber Grommet it lives in too.

So Ill have to take off my Rocker Cover then...damn.And shouldn't it come with the PCV valve.

[Boro Sera]

Not necessarily. It's a taper fit type of grommet. you SHOULD be able to pry it up without removing the cover.

However, when I took the one off my spare cover it had hardened to the point that it crumbled and came out in a dozen pieces. If this happens to you then it's 'cover off to get the debris cleaned out'. :(
