Also, is there a recommendation on which brands to avoid? I've learned the hard way that some parts are not built like the others...

Looks like the PVC valve is the same for both 3Y and 4Y part number 12204-71010 replaced by 12204-15030, double check for accuracy. this is a common part used in numerous vehicles from 84'-93' such as Celica, Corolla, Tercel and Vans

Hello
I found a doohickey hanging off the top of the motor towards the Mack of views from the drivers side hatch. It has 3 vacuum lines attached a broken plastic screw and a spring fell out the bottom.
any ideas? I’ll try to attack a pic or two.

Should mention
1987 4wd 5 speed

Maybe more of a question of WHY-IS-THIS and WHAT-TO-LOOK-FOR-WHILE-I-CAN:

Sometime in the vans history, the back firewall was chopped into to gain access to the back of the engine. After removing the back heater vent, discovered a poor attempt at a fiberglass repair and finally discovered where my exhaust fumes have been seeping in :dizzy:

Before I weld it back, wondering if there's a good reason to keep a removable panel here instead of patching it up completely? I assume it must of made some PIA job easier in the past. Does this give access to "the hose of death" I've heard about or some transmission bolt that's otherwise impossible to reach?

Wondering which parts (part#s) I may want to inspect or stock up on/replace while I still have easy access?

Wow, that's a nasty looking hack job. There is a benefit to having some access here, but it's hard to imagine a cut like that helping much. If it were mine I'd weld/patch that, then maybe put a more reasonable access hole there if/when needed.

Here's an example of a more reasonable way to get access to the "hose of death"

Where is the hazard light relay located?

Attached is photo of fuse panel but none of the relays seem to be labeled hazard.

I'm on a road trip, got pulled over for no tail/break lights(solved) but learned in the process that hazards don't work. Fuse is fine, next guess is relay but forgot my manual at home.

hi what is this component to the left of the battery ? I found the two nuts loose, tightened them up but would like to know what this is ? thanks

would removing the "ballast" affect the handling of the van ? i have an 89 4x4 cargo van

Ballast is as good a term as any; I forget the Toyota term. I removed mine.

Gwen

EDIT: Toyota calls it the Rear Floor Balancer.

It's kind of hard to identify by that picture, but I believe that's a solenoid switch similar to this one: http://www.texasindustrialelectric.c...s_24812_01.asp. I'm guessing at some point a P.O. had a 2nd battery mounted somewhere and he was using that solenoid for a battery isolator. He probably took the battery out and disconnected the wires, but left the solenoid behind. Tim

thanks Tim

Not that I have noticed.

good to know cos they weigh a ton, maybe get a fraction of a mile per gallon more :wnk:

Curious if anyone knows the number for the shroud around the door lock on the interior (see picture) as my van seems to have that missing. Passenger's side preferred but if they're interchangeable that'd work too hopefully. :mrgreen:

There's just one part for both sides; they are interchangeable. Toyota part # 69751-20031; officially called FRONT DOOR LOCKING BUTTON COLLAR HOLDER

Gwen

You mean this?

https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...v/IMG_4322.JPG

Yep, thats it! Thanks. You guys know everything! :thmbup:

In addition, do you also know the part numbers for door locks for the sliding door exterior and the rear door? The sliding door is busted (everytime I shut the sliding door, the whole assembly pops out like its craving freedom!) and the rear door lock just doesn't turn; bent a copied key trying to open it! :rolleyes: Gonna be stocking up on parts to order now that I'm doing some quality-of-life fixes to it... Once again thanks guys!

Go to this site: https://www.toyodiy.com/parts/q.html (it can be helpful in finding/cross-referencing part numbers). I'll also email you information on how to get access to Toyota's break-downs.

Will do.

Hey all!
Is anyone able to help me find where to get one of these, or a good alternative for this hose? #22230M on the diagram.

http://www.sotond.com/Automotive-Rub...pl3009354.html try this contact them and ask for something of the same inside diameter and roughly the same radius and for the same application ( gasoline,vacuum, oil, coolant etc). You can cut some part of a longer, multiple bends, hose. for vacuum look at there flexible silicon. Whatever you chose, do not loose those OEM clamps and re-use them, they are there for a reason.

Appreciate it! I’ll check that out

FYI, those hoses are metric. SAE sizes will not fit well. I tried all different manor of alternatives when I did my head gasket a number of years ago before I finally went to the dealer who was still able to order them at that time. I believe they are 14mm but don't quote me on that. Same with the heater hoses on the vans. Your either trying to stretch 1/2" hose to fit or clamping down 5/8" and hoping it doesn't leak which doesn't work well in the tight confines of the intake plenum.

Any idea what this green object might be on my 1988 Toyota Van LE?

Looks like a broken PCV valve, of the (incorrect) plastic variety.

I was wondering what this line is coming from my power steering pump. When I was reading in a thread I saw this like but couldn't tell if it was the same part or not https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...nid=549&jpid=4 The bends/hook ups on the one in the link seem a little different than the one in the picture. Thanks

That's the power steering pressure hose that goes from the pump to the steering rack. Assuming this is for the 86 listed in your profile, I would think this is more likely the appropriate hose. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...279751&pt=7320

It is an '86. That looks exactly like the part that I need. Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it!

I was wondering if anyone knew what this was. It's located at about the center of the front bumper, the wire going into the cab is disconnected. It looks like a little megaphone. I thought it was the horn, but I've been able to find that in a diagram and it doesn't look like this.



Attachment 11549

That appears to be a left over speaker/siren from an aftermarket alarm system.

Oh ok. That makes sense as to why I couldn't find anything in the books on what it was. It's just sitting pretty perfect in what looks like a spot made for it so I just wanted to double check.

This valve/actuator was dangling to the back of my engine, does anyone know sure where it should be mounted?
The vacuum hoses are so long, I have no idea where to look.
I think it is valve nr 2 on the diagram
in my repair manual, i think it is mentioned as a vacuum switching valve, it is listed as part of the air conditioning system, but it does not mention where the part is supposed to be mounted.

There's a hole on the side of the engine block behind the oil filter. Here's a picture of one mounted:

https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...MG_4477(1).JPG

It's your "pressure up" vsv. One hose should connect to the manifold via a little black filter device and the other hose should go to your fuel pressure regulator (other side rear of engine). Tim

Thanks a bunch!
I put it back where it belongs. Judging by the amount of grime and rust covering that hole, it had not been there for a long long time.

Going bonkers! Looked at a ton of part lists and drawings trying to find this part! My eyeballs hurt! Anyone know a part number or what its called?? ('85 LE)

Some weather stripping that runs along the outside of the window…

I believe that is "WEATHERSTRIP, FRONT DOOR GLASS, OUTER" part # 68160-87001. From my quick glances online, looks NLA as usual but it doesn't hurt to call around to double-check :thmbup:

Can anyone tell me that the green sensor is below the temp sensor?
Temp sensor is circled in this pic.

Thanks!

I think it is the temperature sensor that disables the overdrive of the automatic gearbox when the engine is cool.

Thank you! I had someone tell me that but I needed to confirm. Appreciate your tesponse!!
