What does the Toyota call the vent valve Trying to do a smoke test on the evap system on a 01 4runner. On my topdon scanner I only see these active test; 1. tank pressure bypass vsv ,2. purge vsv, 3.canister pressure control vsv. I’ve tried all of them, and smoke seems to keep coming out of the...

OK so I keep getting po442 small evap leak. I smoked the system using the the evap service port, I noticed a lot of smoke near the gas cap area. I’m assume because I didn’t pinch off the vale on the canister, and there’s a line that goes up to the neck to the canister. When I finally pinch the...

Thanks for all the input

What is main reason the newer 4runner ride smother when going over bumps and potholes? Is it because of stiffer shock absorbers, stiffer springs, bigger sway bars and stiffer Frame chassis? Also, possible a little bit wider may help.

when i have the key on, i have this buzzing noise coming from the throttle body. The noise goes away if i unplug the tps sensor. is this normal? 2001 runner. this is the 4 wire tps sensor

No evap experts here? Should that solenoid hold pressure?

thanks that whats i thought.

1. is the vent solenoid normal open when the car is off and no power? 2. when i supply power to the vent solenoid and apply vacuum pressure, it build ups pressure and slowly leaks down (bad solenoid)? I know in the picture i have the valcume hose hooked up backwards, i tested it the other way...

any chance a rip in the intake boot cause a po440? (evap code, only 1 code). I have the boot taped up but dont think its sealing 100%.

thank you for the input, i will try a oem bushing and also measure that sway bar. A mechanic was trying to tell me that the bushing had collapsed because there was a hair of a gap and it didn't fit flush with the bracket.

I ment sway bar bushing mount, not link bushing

A Mechanic told me these sway bar bushing mounts are bad, because there is a Hair of a space between the bushing and sway bar. I tried another set but it was the same, should i use a different brand?

thanks buddy. i feel a little better

ok i change my wifes oil in her 01 4runner, i notice it didnt have a drain plug gasket but it wasnt leaking. so i left it that way and decided to keep a eye on it. A few days later still no leaks but decide to add a gasket just 4 the hell of it. it starting leaking right away when i added the...
