Len Dawg Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 That is the Purge control solenoid... code 3 blinks the 5 fast blinks there should be 2 little ones they they are black cubes in front on the elbow for the thermostat... one or both either failed or the hoses broke or are not plugged in...

DeltaWye Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 (edited) Ah, that rings a bell. We had this code come up about 10 years ago and I remember now that it was hesitating pretty badly when you'd hit the throttle. Went on for a long time before the code came up. Don't know what the repair involved as I didn't work on cars at the time. It did fix the problem though and has never done it since.

DaveT Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) Purge solenoid code / EGR code - 345 & 34 - The ECU cannot tell anything other than open or shorted circuit to the coil. I've had them fail, never noticed them effect driveability. Nearly all of the OEM ones fail. My solution is on my website below:http://www.dynahoedave.co.nf/solenoid.html Edited November 25, 2016 by DaveT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well either change the solenoid to another factory one or do the whole toyota thing. Idek where i can get another factory one unless i go to pick n pull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR_Loyale Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Never understood why a simple coil of wire almost identical to a doorbell fails so often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I never went to the trouble to analyze the failure mode. Posably wire gauge too small. Connection to the lead wires not rugged enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robm Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 The EGR solenoid valve and the purge control solenoid valve are identical except for the connectors. It is possible that you won't find a good one in the PnP, Even the old Toyotas etc. that can provide a replacement are getting scarce in the yards. At least, that is my experience around here. I found a generic EGR solenoid on Ebay out of India for $22 with shipping. Its connector will plug directly into EGR connector on the Loyale, Then you can use the EGR solenoid as a purge control solenoid by cutting off the old purge control connector and soldering it onto the EGR solenoid. It works fine. No more CEL is nice. I don't think it had any effect on drivability, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
