Not going good today. First off, I replaced the PCV valve. That's the good news. The bad news? The plastic PCV vent hose that connects the crankcase with the PCV valve cracked and broke during removal. It didn't matter how gentle I was at removing it. Secondly, the ignition coils that I ordered online are not the right ones. Probably would work... if they were LONG enough.

Now, to replace the dog bone motor mount on top. That should be trouble free. *crosses fingers*

Not PVC (as in Polyvinyl chloride). PCV = Positve Crankcase Ventilation. The PCV vent hose connects the crankcase with the PCV valve, which dumps the exhaust back into the combustion to reduce emissions.

The new one installed easily and without issue. The new torque wrench made the installation a breeze.

Of course, eBay doesn't have any new parts for the part I need. Only used ones. I was hoping not to have to go to the dealer for this.

I've already been to Amazon. The first time it was asking for $41 for Genuine Toyota for one ignition coil. But that was for the wrong part. I think it depends on when and where your car was built. When I pulled the car's ignition coil, I saw that it was a different size. I see today that the correct part for my car is $89 for a single ignition coil. Do not want to do it at that price point.

Mars attack!

The Timmins Police is investigating an incident where on Monday, July 20th, a report of a shoplifting event where a suspect assaulted the store clerk upon being confronted about the theft.

This incident occurred at a Mountjoy St. S. convenience store.
On July 20th, at approximately 08:49 hrs, an unknown female entered the store and placed some candy in the front pocket of her sweater.
When asked to pay for the candy, the suspect became upset and proceeded to collect four Mars chocolate bars from the front counter and proceeded to walk out of the store without paying for any of the items.
The store clerk followed the female suspect outside and attempted to retrieve the stolen chocolate bars. At that time the suspect threw a Mars bar at the clerk.
She then proceeded to strike him on the head with the Mars bar.
The suspect is a Caucasian woman in her mid-20s. She was wearing a grey hoody sweater with a white bird logo on it. She was also wearing black pants. The suspect had black long hair.

Well, got up early this morning and went over to the dealer to get the crankcase vent hose. The old hose was holding on barely. Waited about 30 minutes after I got home and changed the hose out. I put on some mechanic's gloves so I wouldn't burn hand. Got me on each of my forearms. Ouch! LOL. Cleaned up the beauty cover and fastened it back on top of the engine.

I'm returning the ignition coils. The eBay seller told me which ones would work in my car. Too bad he wanted $19 more for a set of four than another seller I decided to purchase from. They are already charging me ~$7 to ship them back.

did you email him first to see if it will fit your car? if you did I would say it is his fault they don't fit and he is responsible for return postage.
