PCV valve (3 Viewers)

I really didn't want to post this in a new thread, but where is the PCV valve on my 01?
I've been searching the board for 15 minutes with no luck except references to changing it.

It's in the front of the left valve cover, and sits in a rubber grommet atht might break. You can use carb or brake cleaner to clean it out if it's not too clogged up already. You should be able to shake it and have the piston inside move freely. If there is chunks of carbon in it, or it's frozen up, just replace it.

I got it. I also spent a frustrating hour online trying to find where it was with no luck. It's amazing how difficult it can be to find some simple information.
The Seafoam worked great. I think I fumigated half the neighborhood. I used 1/2 the can on the first try & 25 minutes later it was still smoking at idle, so I went ahead & ran the 2nd half of the bottle through.
It idles much smoother now & even starts easier.
Plugs are coming up here soon & I've found all the information on them here.
Thanks for the help guys, I really appreciate it.

Has anyone cleaned a PCV valve? How much does one cost from Toyota?

I've cleaned them before with carburetor cleaner, but they're about $8.00.

Be sure to check the PCV valve grommet. They tend to dry out and harden with time. The cost is a few bucks at the dealer.

Can you prepare it like a Fetzer Valve?... with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads?

Don't forget the coolant...

What about coolant? What do you do with it and where?

lol.......... I was doing a piggyback on Topmounter's quote from the movie Fletch. You gotta see Chevy Chase in this movie, it's a classic!!! Look at the clip here: around 3:30 YouTube - Fletch Its All Ball Bearings

Anyways, no need to worry about the coolant on the pcv valve...

use caution in pulling the gromet out.

Wow, I need to be up on my mechanic terminology and Fletch quotes to not be confused on this site.

my parts supplier show a genuine for $5
12204 50020 should be the part number

Just had replaced pcv valve and hose on my 2003 TLC while replacing fuel filter. It does not have a grommet. It just screws in and out. You will have to spray some penetrator to loosen it up little bit, then use 22mm wrench and . Pretty straightforward. Attached is the picture of the old one.
