The WHAT-IS-THIS-PART and WHAT'S-THE-PART-NUMBER Thread for US Toyota Vans 1984-1989

Interesting, mine doesn't have the upper cable.

Cruise control? :confused:

automatic kickdown cable isnt it?

The repair manual (Page AT-11 and AT-29) calls it the throttle cable.It activate down shift on the AT if I understand :cnfsd:

Hello Van Community,

Pretty new to the van forum.
I've been slowly working on the van and plan on driving it to Brazil starting next summer. I came across this wire being cut. I noticed this after the van over heated.
Would anyone know where and what this wire belongs to.

Thanks in advance

I searched to no avail...

I am ripping into the little van finally, and removed all the plywood from the cargo floor to find these. Three black plates bolted to the floor. They look factory~ish, not sure what to make of them though... What the heck are they for? Are they important or just a waste of steel?

Okay that's kind of what I figured...
I'm yanking them out, I don't think that 60 or 70 lb of Steel is going to make this pig any more stable. Ha...

Actually this has been asked at twice before: HERE and HERE

I realize when you don't know what something is called, you can't search for it by name. That's why we have the stickied "WHAT-IS-THIS-PART" threads.

Looks like the Toyota P/N is 8572016030.

When I use the search-by-part-number feature on Rock Auto, a couple of choices do come up. No idea if the Toyota version is discontinued or not; no power windows here ... :no:

I have been scouring the electrical system today and have verified all of my plugs, save this one... At the air box portion of harness. two prong plug, one white wire with black stripe and a green wire. I have hunted for the other side of it, but see nothing to connect to. I also have a dangler underneath coming off the Alternator harness and believe it goes to a sensor for oil level (sucker is hard to get at! Would explain my red oil light remaining on. According to the FSM the red dummy light on the oil reads pressure AND level via this plug. Mine is an 87 cargo van , so that trim package/ gauge cluster has no option for the amber "oil level" light. Found the level switch and access is rough! Ha. Everything else electrically is accounted for though! :)

The search terms you want are "Fuel Pump Check Connector" and "Circuit Opening Relay" to narrow it down, just put all those words into the search box. Here's a good post to get you started:

https://www.toyotavantech.com/forum/...=3517#post3517

Edit: This is the Old cigarette lighter plug, traced the wiring diagram out in the FSM~ I recently took apart my dash and have ONE unaccouted for plug. I am guessing that it may have been for the factory lighter in the radio/ air mixer bezel??? It has a green (power), gray (ignition), and I think a couple of ground wires in it... The previous owner added an aftermarket cig lighter and connected it to the radio wires. :no:

Is my assumption right? I looked and couldn't find it...

Amazon and Rock Auto is your best friend with these little vans:

https://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-45A11...ywords=tie+rod

https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/...e+rod+end,7428


Took me all of 3 minutes to find these dude. Just sayin'...

ah yes - I was searching for Tie Rod which is listed at Rock, but the correct part 45A1133 did not have the words "tie rod" next to it for some reason.

Once I crossed reference using your Amazon link (3 month backorder) with correct description then I could find it in Rock.

Thank you!

Hoping someone can help me identify what this part in the red circle is? Thank you!

Looiks like the infamous temp. vacuum switch. It is the source of made up curse words, so if it's intact, not broken... Don't touch it. Don't look at it. Leave that one alone! :dance2:

One from a corrolla or pickup can be used... same funtion.

Shop around, Amazon doesn't always have the best price imo.

BVSV (bimetal vacuum switching valve), aka the "oh crap I broke it" valve. Toyota P/N 90925-05017. Still available for about $45-$50 and up, so kinda spendy. The other problem is that they are a PITA to remove and replace without a custom-modified socket, which Tim detailed somewhere and I'm not finding right now. :wall: It is possible to remove and replace with a 19mm open end wrench and a lot of patience ... and caution, as you don't want to round off the soft brass (?) sides in the process.

Thanks all - super helpful

as i understand it, this allows for vacuum to pass to egr when coolant hits 104F...my valve on the austin cargo has been bypassed with a short length of hose since ive owned it..ive also eliminated some of the other vsv's. i live in a moderate temp zone and feel like my coolant hits 104 fairly quicky and havnt had any noticable issues with this bypass...my question is, what negative effects can occur with the egr being activated before coolant hits 104? it has been extra cold here this winter and i do like to take the van into the mountains...

You will basically kill all the fish in the ocean, your state bird, the ozone, children will starve in Africa, congress will create and pass new laws to behead you, China will get more poluted and the baby seal won't have to worry any longer about being clubbed to death all because the extra ounce of NoX you expell on an annual basis will kill them!

As for effects on your Van? Not enough to worry about. It will recycle the exhaust gasses soooner than it would, which may infact make the combustion chamber/ head heat up a bit quicker... I can't think of any real ill effects though.

SAVE THE OTTERS!

Hey family,

First time here and needing some assistance! :P

I just tried a search for "relay integration" and nothing came up so in posting:

I had my headlight relay go hot and melt a bit of the female end. I got a new relay and swapped it with the taillight relay which got my lights working again. Yay!
However I would like to replace my relay integration box if i can find the part. I was calling it a ciruit board at firsr and nothing came up, "relay integration" seems to be a match HOWEVER, ive obly been able to find Sienna parts and wasnt able to find a serial number on my box.
So I'm here hoping some of you crafty folk can help me out with either a serial number to use in my search or any other pertinent information.

Much thanks in advance and hope to learn me some!

Your problem was most likely caused by a loose connection at the relay. That plus age, tarnish on the pins, heat from prolonged usage, etc. If used long enough, all high amp electrical connections eventually end up like this (some sooner than others). In most cases swapping in a new relay would only be a temporary fix as the base (female connector) is compromised and this issue will likely occur again.

You will not likely find a new OEM relay base. If I had this problem I'd try to find a serviceable one at a salvage yard or I'd retire the old base/relay, and install a simple Bosch relay with a matching base (readily available). Good luck and let us know how it comes out. Tim

Are these snowflake wheels? Attachment 8306
They are said to be 114x4 6'' wide off a corolla gt with poorly done paint.

Looks like it

Kombi,


its it’s hard to tell what those rims are in the photo even if I enlarge/explode the photo it gets too blurry for me to tell.

Check out the redirect that Tim provided, you’ve posted in that thread. Go to page 1 posting #9 the first picture is snowflake rims and also check out page 2 posting #36 those are some that I picked up.

If you can post better pictures that would be helpful:thmbup:

Hi All - Looking for the part number for the power steering pulley - can't seem to find it anywhere :(

Thank you!
Photo -

44311-12010

Toyota calls the PS pump a "vane pump" ... and of course that's the "vane pump pulley."

The price (new) is pretty steep.

Gwen

Gah! Vane Pump Pulley! thanks all - and that is unfortunate about the cost!

Pick-n-pulls are great for parts like this (I'm guessing under $10). And the good news is this isn't a van exclusive part. Toyota used this same pulley on 80 - 83 Corollas. Happy hunting. Tim

The first pic looks like the temp switch... (it's on page 1 of this thread)

The second pic is to small for me to see. May be a vac switch, but can't be certain...

I think you are correct. The resolution is not very good but the only thing there is the cold start valve, at least in that area.
The second one looks like the wire that use to go to the pressure up temp sender. This would only be there if the van has AC.

My two cents
