So I was putting everything back together on my Runner and I was wondering about this, what I can only guess is some kind of vacuum switch next to all those sensor at the back of the engine 95 3vze the only one with out an electrical connection and it has a vacuum hose going to the charcoal canister.
well the tube broke off on it and I don't have any quick fix for it right now and toyota sells it for a mean $84 so my question is how important is it?

 

Not the dreaded VSV NIPPLE!!!

That is fairly important. I would go to Toyota and get a new one, as yours (and every used one in HISTORY) is heat checked and the nipples have broken off.

 

cracked nipples

 

yeah what's another 85 effing bucks to do it right

 

I just bypassed mine. My friend did the same thing.

 

Only if you are stupid enough to buy it from your local dealer, and not call Phil (Strap22) and order it online

 

I got one off ebay used for 10.00 and no problems, it was in good shape...just a thought

 

Yeah, so ebay had what looked like a used one for $15. I just hope it gets here before my next two days off that I have.

 

good luck, and how's it going?

 

i just entered the forum and i'm sorry if this question was already asked, but it actually shows a picture of my problem so i figured i'd come straight here. my problem is i am having a fuel leak from the yellowish brown beige thing by the nipple is. i was wondering if anyone might have any insight on it, thanks a million!

 

sounds like ur crush gaskets have gone bad or that part has came loose, try tightening it up a little first and if its still leaking then replace the crush washers on each side, now if its leaking from the cap just replace the whole thing,
