[desrodunes1]

does anyone know the part number for a EGR VSV for a 1982 toyota 4x4 pickup? thx for any help. 2 seperate dealers say they are discontinued and was wondering what I might beable to cross referance it to.

Are you talking about a VSV that will only let the EGR operate once coolant temperature as reached a certain temperature?


If you are, you don't really need it. 

Just have the EGR on all the time.


Mine's broke, and I don't notice any driveability problems when the engine's cold.    And it's not cold for very long anyway..........

They only do a visual inspection on the components.  (They used to do a functional EGR test, but that wouldn't catch a bad VSV unless it failed shut)

If everything is hooked up correctly, and you pass the sniffer; there's no way they would know if the VSV doesn't work correctly when the engine is cold.


If the VSV has failed in cold mode (closed) just drill it out so it's open.............

(Failed close, you'll likely fail the NOX portion of the test)
