I'm happy you were able to resolve the problem. For what it's worth. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

Mark says his valve isn't in the best condition, anyone have a good sample we could use for development?

Hi there,

Any news on this ? No idea if mine is properly working or not but interested in replacing. Have high idle (12/1300 rpm) and can't get it lower. When I block the line from the pcv valve to the plenum then the idle drops to 950 rpm

Hi there, Any news on this ?

We're currently awaiting a quote for the tooling to make these, so we're making progress but production is still quite a ways out (assuming tooling cost isn't prohibitive).

Likely mentioned already, but there's also a plastic cap on the bottom of the breather. I often find this cap sitting loose in the engine case chimney when I rebuild an engine.

How important is this cap? I have just thrown away a small black plastic cap that I assumed the previous owner dropped in there!

It's been a while since I looked at it, but IIRC the breather box ('73 2.0 anyway) had a chamber that looked like it was designed to collect sludge/sediment/debris that had been sucked up out of the crankcase. The plastic cap seemed to be a kind of "cleaning plug". I imagine that the idea was that you'd remove the plug and clean out the residue periodically.

For better or worse, I just left that cap off after my engine rebuild, as you have to remove it to unscrew the back of the PCV anyway.

That is for sure one of the issues when these things fail. If blocking the line resolves it, the valve is most likely bad. You could pull the valve out to verify, usually the internal plate becomes dislodged or the spring breaks allowing to much air past the valve.

Now try to find a working replacement....

Someone did a write up here about a suitable replacement for that NLA part. Might have been a Toyota product? He had been chasing his tail with a high idle problem before he found this part. Sorry but I don't remember who posted it!

Found that thread earlier and was excited to see a solution .... got worried and backed out when DRPHIL914 jumped in and created a leak ...

Do you still run the Toyota PCV valve with no issues ? Idle ok, no leaks ?

thks yr feedback

Yep. I still run it without any problems. I did swap the electrical tape for some heat shrink tubing as was suggested by bob164. Looking at that thread again, it seems that DRPHIL's issue was that his '75 didn't have a return line to the crankcase through an anti-flashback valve. So plumbing the breather box to the plenum instead of the air filter depressurized the crankcase and caused...something...to leak.

At this point, I can say that the Corolla PCV valve seems to work really well in a '73 2.0, with the rest of the system plumbed like Bowlsby's diagram. If you have some other engine, or some other model year, or some other hose routing, you may have issues.

If you currently have a hose running from the breather box to the air filter box, you can't just splice in a PCV valve and run the hose to the plenum instead. You need the whole system per Bowlsby.

@UROpartsman , any update on PCV valves? I guarantee you could sell a bunch of these to 914 and VW owners out there. Thanks!

So they're only applicable on '72 & later D-jet systems?

72-74 I believe (though i am not as familiar with the earlier pre 72 cars)

75 they changed the oil tower to use a much larger vent that runs to the 75 specific air filter.
