Hey all....I'm a newb to this forum, but not to Yotas. My 2005 4Runner Sport w/2UZ-FE has been virtually trouble free up until recently. CEL light came on and subsequent VSC light etc. Had the code read and as the subject says, it's throwing P1444, Secondary Air Injection System Switching Valve No.2 Bank 2 Stuck Open. I know some Tundras and Sequoias with the 4.7 had the "warranty enhancement notice," where Toyota will replace everything for free, but no such luck for us that have the 4Runners. I called Toyota America and basically I was told that I'm SOL.
The stealership is quoting me in the neighborhood of $2500-$3000 which I am not about to hand over.
I've done some searching, but haven't found where anyone has done a write up on how to replace the secondary air pump and ASV. I'm pretty handy with a wrench and have done a full engine conversion/rebuild/replacement on my FJ40. This seems like a fairly straight forward plug and play scenario, but has anyone documented this process?
