this piece is broke on my sc300 what does it do and how much would a new one be

KidPandJ

bigger picture would probably help?

mikevogel

i tried to make it bigger but it keeps saying file to big over 100 kb or somthing that piece is right next to the intake manifold right over the fuel rail

CleanSC

Seems to be pointing at the Cyl #1 fuel injector. Exactly what part is broken?

EDIT: Looking closer that's a vacuum switching valve if you are pointing at the upper plug in the pic.

mikevogel

yeah not the fuel injecter it has two vacuum lines runing into it and a conecter. im wondering how much one would be or even what its called

CleanSC

Then that's the VSV for the EGR.

mikevogel

do you have any idea how much it would be what exactly does it do thanks for you help

Yea its a VSV. My VSV for the heater broke (or was broken when I bought it), so my heater core wouldnt open up when I turned the heat on. After some research on Supra-forums I found that a VSV out of a late 80's to early 90's Toyota will work (more specifically, Camrys, Cressidas, and Supras I believe...). Go to a junkyard and salvage 1 or 2 "new" VSVs and test em out.

PS. Dont expect them to be a direct hookup, you may or may not have to splice the connectors (1 or 2 wires, no big deal)

thanks guys anyone from flordia know any good junkyards i just moved here i live in merritt island??

CleanSC

What exactly is broken on it? It controls the EGR valve so it's nothing catastrophic if it doesn't work. Most modded engines have this removed anyway.

Yea like Clean said, that VSV isnt a big deal. Alot of people actually remove the whole EGR system (or remove parts of it and block it off). The EGR system recirculates exhaust gases back into the intake. its supposed to increase efficiency but alot of people remove it to reduce intake temperature, thus increasing HP. So you could either salvage a VSV from a yard (look up 'Salvage Yards' up in your local yellow pages, or online, whatever) or you could buy some EGR block off plates and remove the EGR system

mikevogel

it wont idle without that i tried to fix it but it didnt work i will probly check the junkyards how much is the block off plate i dont want to spend too much this motor has 180000 miles on it
