I need part # 90910-12079.

It is an EGR VSV #2 for an '89 FJ62

Anyone have this part new or used they might want to sell?

I found this last night...it seems the vacuum nipple on the end of the switch broke off at some point.

Thanks.

The CEL was going on every now and then. At first I thought it was something else. I took a close look at the vacuum lines and there it was just sitting there with a broken post stuck in the hose... not connected to anything. Now I think it's because of this broken VSV.

Will the CEL go on because of this?
 
I temporarily fixed the vacuum post with a piece of the red straw that comes with brake cleaner. I'm still not sure if this worked but I went for a nice long ride in my rig and the CEL didn't go on.

Droopynut,

As others have already recommended in your other thread, why use guessing as a method of repair? Why don't you find out what's wrong?

Pull the codes stored in your truck's memory and learn which part of the emissions control system is not within parameters.

The diagnostic tool is a worthwhile investment and I believe there are loaner programs at some auto parts stores near you.

I's possible that a non-working EGR will trip a code. However, the EGR valve would require a position sensor for the computer to detect a command vs. movement difference. I don't think our trucks have that level of sophistication.

Please post your findings if you choose to diagnose your truck.

I intend to pull the codes when I get this rig inspected. Since I found this switch broken...and it needs to be replaced anyway, I just thought i'd ask if it would trip the CEL.
 
Your multiple posts on this are making it even harder to help you. I see no note that you've read the codes. You will continue to stumble in the dark lacking that 3 minute procedure that requires only a paper clip and a notepad for 'tools'.
The only way your CEL would light for the EGR would be if the Cruiser had CA emissions. Remember, this is an OBD I system, not very sophisticated at all.
Here's a cut and paste from the 3FE list:


Get a Haynes, Chilton’s, or a Factory Service Manual (FSM)

For the FSM call Toyota Publications @ (800) 622-2033



How do you retrieve the codes?



It’s easier than you think. Follow the following steps to find out how your engine is running.

Initial Conditions:
Battery voltage 11 volts or more
Throttle valve fully closed (TPS IDL points closed)
Transmission in neutral
Accessories switched “OFF”
Engine at normal operating temperature
Turn the ignition switch “ON”. DO NOT START ENGINE
Using a jumper wire, connect terminals TE1 and E1 of the check connector.
Read the diagnostic code as indicated by the number of flashes of the “Check Engine” warning light.


There will be a series of flashes. For example, if your ECU showed an error code 13 you would see one flash a pause and then three more flashes. Then a pause of 2.5 seconds and you would see the single flash again then a short pause then the three flashes again. Have a pen a paper ready to write when the light starts to flash.

I read my Factory Service Manual (FSM) for this information. To further understand these codes, I recommend getting at least one good manual to use while you work on your 3F-E. A FSM may seem like a lot of money but believe me, it is worth every penny to help keep your Land Cruiser in good working order.
 
I repaired one of the VSV on my 60 where the plastic nipple got broke off.
I used a small diameter piece of brass tubing from a hooby shop for the new nipple. I then drilled out he plastic with a like sized drill bit using the hole for a center guide. I drilled it upside down so no drill shavings would fall into the valve using only my fingers to work the bit down about 3/16".
Inserted the piece of tubing and mixed up some epoxy to hold it in only adding the epoxy to the outside after the tubing was pushed in to keep from clogging the small hole with excess.
 
I appreciate the help guys. I will definitely try the paperclip trick.

But I had to fix my VSV first... no point checking for codes if I have broken components that need replacing or fixing.

I will get an FSM for the 62... that was the first thing I bought when I got my 60.

I will keep you posted.
 
This one should work with minor modifications if you can't find anything else.
4WD VSV Replacement: Toyota P/N 88690-89132
Part Name: Valve Assy, Magnet
Price from CruiserDan: 17.77
No Discount Price from Toyota: 23.70
This part is off a 1988 Toyota Pickup. It's off the 22R Engine.
 
Droopynut, if you want a "new" VSV, I just desmogged my 60 and will send you mine free of charge if you can find out whether or not it will work. Shoot me a pm if you would like it.
