Works on my 2001 4Runner. The other guy saying it didn't is wrong. He was probably trying to replace one of the 2 VSVs in the engine bay. This one is mounted to the charcoal canister between the rear axle and the spare tire. Use your stock jack handle (under the rear passenger seat which has a little pull cord and the rear of the seat bottom pulls up towards the front of the car) and lower the spare. Take a #2 screwdriver (a JIS one like a Vessel might be a good idea) with about a 6" blade to remove the one screw. If the screw is rusted it's going to be a pain and you may need to drop the canister. Mine was not too rusty. If it is rusted, I recommend replacing it. I am fairly sure this one was an M4 thread (4mm). You'll want it about 8mm long (10mm is probably fine; 12mm long might need to be cut a little shorter). Use a stainless steel replacement and go torx or hex ("allen") because they resist stripping out better than Phillips (though hopefully you won't need to replace this part again).I've read lots of reports that the screw is hard to get to. Honestly it was not. There are lots of vacuum lines there and it IS a bit tricky to place the new VSV in there correctly, but getting the screwdriver on the screw is easy. You want to approach it from the rear left corner of the vehicle (at an angle).Make sure when you install the new one that you don't get it upside down or you'll find your electrical connector is a tough reach and one of the vacuum lines is also not going to fit. To get the screw in, press the screw through the hole on the canister and just move the VSV around until it finds the hole (only the VSV itself is threaded, not the mount on the canister).Note that if any of your vacuum lines are bad, do NOT just use regular vacuum hose. Use fuel hose or "fuel vapor hose". Regular vacuum hose typically will not stand up to fuel or fuel vapor.3 VSVs on the 2001 4Runner w/ Toyota P/N:-Mounted to vapor canister near the gas tank - this Dorman part is compatible - 90080-91233-Engine bay, driver side, there are two mounted next to each other. The one closer to the front of the car is: 90910-12245-Engine bay, driver side, there are two mounted next to each other. The one closer to the rear of the car is: 25860-75230Not sure if Dorman has cross-refs for the latter 2, but thought I'd give this info for reference. Not sure which other Toyotas use the same parts but that's what the 2001 4Runner uses.

FIT MY 1st GENERATION SEQUOIA! Saved a ton of money. Easy replacement except that my old one was rust-welded to the bracket. Has to cut my old one off. Sequoias have easy access. Just pop your truck 2 wheels on the curb, take off the spare and crawl under. It is right there where the spare was. I took the canister off which is pretty easy. Again rust doesnt help with the 3 bolts (12 or 13mm I think). So I used penetrating oil and safety glasses(!). Also dont smoke or use a lantern (this operation is strictly forboden for chain-smoking Amish!!). Use a pliers on the hose clamps to open them. The big hose without a clamp may leak on you so shove it up to the closest wheel as there is a spot to wedge it while you take the canister off. The unit has one phillips screw and one tab that keeps it in. Electrical connection is exactly the same. No codes YET. Codes went away with 2 quick restarts (engine light went off right away and the trac codes with the next restart of engine). I may need to replace the cap/filler assembly but that will be another day. Last pic is after replacement. BTW the hoses are just the right size that they went back without thinking about it however I did need to refer to my pictures for pitting the solenoid on right. Take pictures of yours and it really isnt hard at all. God Bless!

Before you purchase the VSV, there is a way to test yours if you can get your hands on it. Supply power to the VSV, such as using a 9V battery, + to one of the electrical connector, and - to the other. You should hear a click sound on a working VSV. Ok, also, be very careful under you vehicle, always work with jack stands, never just the floor jack. Even better, use a ramp, plus jack stands as backup. When under you vehicle, very rare do you come away from an accident to learn from your mistake! Now, on to the review.00' Corolla LE was throwing a P0446 code (EVAP) and I researched to see what it could be, there was a rare chance it could be the gas cover, so I purchased a replacement to see if it corrected the error code. Nope, didn't work. After further researching, I traced it to a possible VSV especially by the charcoal canister in the back. An OEM Toyota replacement was $70-80 and I wasn't sure if it was a definite fix. I found this Dorman 911-601 as a replacement. My mechanic at the shop said it could be up to $600 or so, this would include the charcoal canister and other parts as well. For a little over $20, I would take a chance. Plus, I needed to take care of this because the car wouldn't pass once emissions testing is due. If it weren't for the testing, I wouldn't deal with it.Before I go on with my experience, do yourself a big favor, go under your vehicle and evaluate if you can confidently reach and replace the VSV on your own vehicle. Sometimes the location of the VSV makes it near impossible to replace on vehicles.First, on my Corolla, this part was not an exact matching fit. The ports as shown here on Amazon face both directions, one on the side of the electrical connector and the other port opposite the connector. Underneath my car, I can see the VSV, both ports face opposite the electrical connector. Still, I can make it fit.Second, replacing this VSV as a DIY'er on paper is simple, unscrew the VSV via single screw, unplug electrical connector, unplug the vacuum tubes from the ports. Install new VSV and replug everything. That's all there is. In reality, it is one of the most difficult replacements I've seen. I have slim fingers and even I had to have a lot of patience as I replaced the part.As I said, the VSV is underneath the vehicle, in the way of replacement are various hoses around the charcoal canister. The screw that holds the VSV? Forget about it, on mine it was totally rusted, I had to pry and break the old VSV off. When underneath, wear safety goggles, that is a must, or else every rust or dirt falling down may end up in eyes. Once I removed the old VSV, I put the new and had to use a new hose, remember the opposite facing ports? Due to this, one hose was too short to connect on the Dorman. The hose I used was a Prestone FU0104, it comes in 2 feet. Basically, it's a fuel line/emission rubber hose, 1/4" or 6.4mm inside diameter, you can use any other hose that meet the criteria, and you can buy by the foot. I used about 12-14". It's thicker than the original hose that was under there.I just replaced the VSV and wrote this review. I'll update whether it fixes my code but I won't change my rating, I'm taking a chance with the item, not the fault of the item if my code comes back.EDIT 6/24/13: Just checked today with my auto scanner and all monitors are showing 'ok' readings. Even the EVAP. That is the one that was affected by the P0446 code. It is a monitor that takes a bit to register 'ok'. I'll keep an eye on it of course to see if the code stays off because I've seen it pop back on in the past with the original VSV, prior to this replacement.Please click YES if my review have been helpful to you, it will encourage me to continue writing and updating my reviews, and leave a comment if you have any questions, I will be more than happy to answer if I can be of help.

Im writing this review for people with 2003 Toyota highlanders.I was searching the internet for the right valve that fits my truck and every source turned up a incorrect valve.This valve says it wont fit on amazon and that is wrong This valve works for Toyota highlanders and is a exact match.The pictures I have attached show the new valve installed on the charcoal canister at the back of the vehicle.
