Trouble Identifying Sensor

Hey guys, can someone tell me what this sensor is? It broke off while tensioning the serpentine belt. It is throwing a check engine light and I am nervous to drive it until identify what it is.

Thanks for your help!

That is the Oil control valve for the VVTI. You do have to be very careful to not pry against it when tensioning the belt. Toyota part number is: 15330-21011. OEM ones are about $90 and aftermarket ones about $60. If you are interested I have a low mileage OEM one that I could do $50 shipped for.

Looks like your Oil Control Valve (2 wires right?). It controls your cam timing. Should be OK to drive the car for a little bit while you get it fixed, but you will want to get it sorted soon.
Cheers.

CTScott, I may take you up on your offer. However, I was hoping to get it fixed today. I don't drive much other than a few miles around town, is it something that would be okay for a few days until I could get the part? I can't seem to find the part in local stores.

I am not sure if it would be an off-the-shelf item from a local parts place, but it would be fine to drive without it for a while (as CoryM mentioned). It is really a power/fuel savings device as opposed to a critical function.

CTScott, I'd appreciate if I can purchase it from you, I could hardly find anything out there under 80.00. So you've got a deal if you want to PM details.
