Well I had a couple minutes today so I got a chance to test all 3 VSV's. All 3 are with specs for ohms according to the service manual but i wasn't able to connect 12V to see if they actually created vacuum. I inspected all line from the front to back and all look good. I guess its time to...

Also, I've had no decrease in fuel milage. I consistently get 300 miles to a tank.

That is an excellent thread and I've read it and it seems a hundred more that google has found. After replacing the VSV at the charcoal canister I'm still throwing codes. It is now 0440, 0441 and 0446. I just went with what seemed to be the common fix with the VSV but I guess I'll get out the...

Well after a day the 0440 and 0446 are back. I guess a new gas cap is in order first and we'll go from there. Thanks

Well new VSV is in. Heres to hoping all goes well!

Well I'll pick up the Dorman VSV tomorrow and put it in to see what happens. I got the whole charcoal assembly off tonight so i'm ready to bolt the new one on and re-assemble. I must say what a PITA. It took me over an hour to get the assembly off but on a good note I only broke one bolt! I...

Well I decided I would just call my local dealer and order the VSV. For some reason they gave me an item number of 90910-12245 and I thought I needed 90910-12264 and they gave me a price of $100. I didn't order yet, hoping an expert here would chime in. Thanks

Nobody?

So after throwing this code almost weekly (along with 0440 and 0442) with my 02 limited I'm getting tired of resetting the CEL. From the extensive reading that I've done I think I'm at the point of replacing the VSV at the charcoal canister. I've checked all the lines and everything looks good...

ever get anymore codes?

I read his post....definitely interested with a TRD button!

02 Limited with 175k, still going strong

I only own Toyotas or Hondas these days but theres something about the sound of a small block chevy with a big cam and nice exhaust that catches my attention no matter what vehicles its in!

My 02 Limited recently hit 175k and runs like new. I would say its far from wore out and still gets consistent 20 mpgs. Oil change every 3k and the oil still looks pretty fresh after that. I figure i have 175k more!
