Default Mysterious gasket

Hello,
does anyone knows the PN of the gasket for this plate? My gasket was leaking so I wanted to replace it but i couldnt find the PN for the gasket so I just temporarily used some RTV but that just doesnt feels right.

Hello,

What was in there when you took that plate off?

Here is a thread that goes in details about the same issue, it seems like there shouldn't be a gasket there (??), but I am not exactly sure.. In any case, some FIPG from Toyota (P/N: 00295-00103) or some gasket material sheets should take care of it..

Hope this helps and best of luck!

Well, when i took the plate off it had gasket on that was leaking, so I bet that there should be a gasket because it looked like a proper gasket and not a gasket that someone made at home.

It’s to feed additional air during certain conditions, that cover is over a cavity with a bunch of ports that go from around the throttle body to near the fuel injectors. I would just throw some grey RTV where the gasket belongs and you’ll be fine. It’s not a particularly high stress location
