Where is the PVC valve on a 2001 Toyota 4 runner?

The PCV valve on a 2001 Toyota 4Runner is located on the valve cover. It's usually a small, plastic valve with a hose attached to it. However, the exact location on the valve cover can vary slightly depending on the engine (3.4L V6 or 2.7L I4).

To locate it definitively:

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best resource for the precise location.

2. Look at a diagram: Use an online parts diagram for your specific 2001 4Runner engine (specify the engine size when searching). These diagrams show the location of all components.

3. Visual inspection: With the engine cool, carefully open the hood and examine the valve cover. Look for a small, usually black plastic valve with a hose connected to it, often near the center or towards the back of the valve cover.

Remember to always work on a cool engine to avoid burns. If you're unsure, it's best to take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic for inspection and replacement.
