Hi All - Signed up today to this forum. I am noob in need of help for these darn codes. Thanks for any help
On my girlfriend's 1998 Toyota Camry 4Cyl, she is getting the dreaded p0441 and p0446 vapor pressure codes . I reset the codes and checked gas cap and it came back in less than a week. Other threads mentioned the VSV. Where exactly is the VSV part located and what is the R&R procedure?
check vacuum lines and charcoal canister. the vsv is attached to the cooling system up front easy to find if you follow vacuum lines around. google a pic of it and it would be easy to find.
the vsv is located behind the block, to the right of the knock sensor, if i remember correctly.
i got a vsv sensor-thingy i cansell you cheap. pm me

I am very confused on where its located. I have heard its in the engine and also heard its near the TB, and then near the Charcoal caniser and my local dealer says its on top of the gas tank
it is near the header. more precisely, its right under the intake manifold flange, 2nd intake pipe. its mounted on the block.

Man am I stuck . I looked everywhere for the VSV you described. This is the only thing I could find when I traced all the vacuum lines.
Is this the VSV that could help these codes??? PLEASE HELP
P0441 Evaporative Emission Control System Incorrect Purge Flow
P0446 Evaporative Emission Control System Vent Control Circuit Malfunction
Go underneath the car, find the charcoal canister, pretty close to where your muffler is, more to the center of the car. you will be able to see the vsv pretty clear.

How in the heck do you remove the VSV near the tank? Does the canister need to be unbolted and removed?
it's a tough job. On ine, it wa pretty much rusted into the metal bracket and so, there is just no way I can remove the little bolt. I just zip tied the vsv to the bracket. But I was being extra careful to use like 3 zip ties to tie it down.
