Help! I broke my engine! - Toyota Yaris Forums

CtrlAltDefeat · 02-01-2009, 08:02 AM

After installing my NST underdrive pulley I was trying to move the alternator back into position to re-tension the belt when the rubber mallet I was using slipped and broke the connector off of this thing mounted to the block just above and to the right of the alternator! I took it out to take get a better look at it... Does any one know what this is? It looks like some sort of solenoid or valve with oil all over the end that goes in the block.I was able to straighten the tabs and push the broken piece back together but there were to tiny wires that I think were broken... The engine started after I put everything back together, but the check engine light came on... I hope what ever it is, it's not expensive, because I'm pretty sure it's not covered by warranty...

I believe that is related to the VVT-i system, an activator of sorts.

CtrlAltDefeat · 02-01-2009, 08:08 AM

any idea how much it costs?

eTiMaGo · 02-01-2009, 08:34 AM

oh boy, does the car still drive? maybe you can try disconnecting battery overnight, it could clear the engine light.

ur next car - no mods to engine/related until after warranty!

Tamago · 02-01-2009, 11:36 AM

Black Yaris · 02-01-2009, 11:39 AM

CtrlAltDefeat · 02-01-2009, 12:13 PM

well it starts ok don't know if it will drive ok, if it does I'm going to go check what that check engine light means and look for a junkyard... I assume any 1NZ-FE will work out of a xA xB or other 1.5 yaris...

if that is the case.....I don't know if that is just the price for the screen on the end of that or what....I would hope it's for the whole piece...

if anything I'd print this diagram out and show whoever that location...

page 4 gives you resistance specs. maybe some solder and a small iron can get you running again, and you would be able to check it. maybe a temp or if part is pricey...

cut and pasted interesting bit below

Toyota Echo’s VVT-i is a computer controlled and oil-pressure activated push- push type system.

The engine ECU can command the system to advance or retard the inlet camshaft timing, thereby providing for faster response.

The hardware is a camshaft timing oil control valve mounted adjacent to the inlet camshaft gear wheel and a VVT-i controller mechanism built onto the inlet camshaft timing gear.

The camshaft timing oil control valve is a spool valve, controlled via a coil and plunger by the engine ECU.

It can signal "advance", "hold" or "retard". The VVT-i controller consists of a housing on the front of the timing wheel, driven from the timing chain, and a four-bladed vane coupled with the intake camshaft.

When the engine ECU requires a change in inlet timing, it signals the oil control valve to provide oil pressure to either the advance or retard side of the four vane chambers.

A locking pin in the controller locks the camshaft timing in the maximum retard position for engine start-up and immediately after start-up (until oil pressure is established) to prevent any knocking noise.

Looks like some sort of cam sensor. I would say its very important.

CtrlAltDefeat · 02-01-2009, 02:13 PM
