Jake33 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Hi all first time Lexus owner. I've owned an 01 Camry when I was 17 and it was the most reliable car I've ever owned, figured I'd go back and get something just as reliable with some more creature comforts. Car has 134k on it. The picture below is the sensor I need to find. Some google searching is bringing me to VSV sensor, and EGR sensor. The 2 plastic nipples have snapped off this sensor. what is this sensor and do I absolutely need it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake33 Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 What will happen if I run without the vacuum lines hooked up to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevC Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 The Evap Solenoid is part of the emission control circuit...it is necessary to recirculate the fuel vapour to the tank and engine and really should be working to ensure the vapours do not build up and vent to atmosphere.

Jake33 Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 I looked at a diagram today and it's saying it's the VSV. Where can I buy this at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
