Detailed Description

The Standard Ignition V388 PCV Valve is built for vehicles that use a push-on crankcase ventilation connection and a square female electrical-style connector layout. This part number V388 is listed for 1992-1993 Toyota Camry, 1992-1993 Lexus ES300, 1995-1998 Toyota T100, 1995-2002 Toyota Tacoma, 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner, 2000-2004 Toyota Tundra, and 2003 Toyota Tacoma through 2/03. It is a practical replacement choice when servicing the PCV system on Toyota Tacoma, Toyota Tundra, and related applications.

This PCV valve cross-references 2-9361 and PCV361 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Crankcase pressure buildup from a restricted or sticking PCV valve
• Rough idle related to ventilation flow issues
• Oil vapor accumulation in the crankcase ventilation system
• Check-engine concerns tied to PCV system performance
• Vacuum leak symptoms caused by a worn valve connection

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify hose size, connector shape, and nipple orientation before installation. The V388 uses a push-on attachment and 10 mm hose connections, so the existing hoses should seat securely without forcing the fitting. Confirm vehicle coverage by year and model, especially for the 2003 Toyota Tacoma application noted through 2/03.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition supplies this PCV valve as an OE-style replacement part for emission control service. The V388 is built to match the listed connector, hose, and mounting configuration for the specified Toyota and Lexus applications.
