Unknown Sensor plug missing. Need help identifying - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I've been looking for quite some time to figure out what this sensor belongs to in my 1996 Camry LE. I thought it was my MAP sensor, but I always thought the map sensor had a 3 plug harness. Anyone know what this is?

For some reason the photo didn't load but you can follow the link above. I also forgot to mention, the plug in questions has two prongs.

The plug in need looks like the one below, but only with 2 pins

Where can I find MAP Sensor Pigtail for Gen 3 Camry

Could you pull back a bit to let us see a bit more of the engine compartment? That dingus sort of looks to be hanging off of the resonator, but that doesn't make a lot of sense. Is your CEL on? If so, have you pulled the codes?

VSV for emissions? Idle Up valve?
Can't remember, I think its one of those two.

Thanks for the replies. I've linked 3 more pictures. I did have the codes pulled a while back and want to say it was was the MAP/Barometric Pressure Problem (p0106), The CEL is on, and i belieive it's from the missing wire.

That is a VSV, dig around and see if you can find the harness for it.

That's the problem, the pigtail was broken off and all I have is the wires. Where could I pick up a pigtail for the VSV valvue?

cut it off at the salvage yard and splice it together using solder and shrink wrap

hardibity · 06-28-2011, 03:46 PM

Unfortunately there aren't many salvage yards near us. I wish there were though.

**TOYOPARTSMAN** · 06-28-2011, 03:52 PM

Do you have any of the old plug left?

***fenixus*** · 06-28-2011, 03:57 PM

that's the VSV for EVAP plug you are missing.

hardibity · 06-28-2011, 04:12 PM

unfortunately, i dont have it. I think it fell off as I was driving.

hardibity · 06-28-2011, 04:19 PM

The pigtail that was sliced off should look like this, but with 2 ports not 3

No salvage yards? Oh, the horror....

a) sweet talk someone on TN into wandering over to a pick-a-part and score one for you

b) find someone on fleabay selling a junkyard pull of the VSV, email them, and see if they'll sell you a connector (probably half the time, the connector is already on the junkyard pull, since it's easier to just snip the cable than disconnect the connector...not something you can count on, 'tho).
