About to go to a junk yard Options

[cHinaman727]

I have to drive about 30 minutes to get to a junk yard so I was hoping yall could help me out.

What cars share the SAME engine bay as a 1994 Toyota Celica GT

I know that camrys and other GT's do but I don't know the years.

Is there anything else you guys would recommend picking up at a junk yard?

The one part I need is only 3 bucks, I should probably grab what else I can.

just other gt's, st's.....if you mean engine (5sfe) then all 4cyl camry's up to 99, some rav 4's i think.....get some interior bits! and tell me if you find a wingless hatch!!!

what "engine part" do u need?

[cHinaman727]

what "engine part" do u need?

bi-metal vacuum switch valve, also known as thermal vacuum valve, also known as thermal vacuum switch, also known as BVSV or TVV or TVS..

i have the part number in another thread i think... from what i've read, it returns some fuel vapors to the throttle body to lower NOx emissions.

Also lowering combustion heat or something like htat.

BECAREFUL dont "force" it loose..u might just break it off, the Salvage yard car, then be SOL

edit: deposits and what not make it hard to break nuts loose, and with things like the Tvs, you can break the part instead of breaking loose a nut.

yup, they said bring your own tools, and have at it.

I doubt, honestly, if they will have any celicas. Most likely a few camrys, but i doubt celicas.

yea celicas never find there way to the junkyard, unless someone totals them. My junkyard was like "nope weve never had any of those, actually we have a 87 but weve never seen any other celicas" and they are a hugeee junkyard lol

my dad and bro went up to the junkyard the other day to find a part for his eclipse and my dad said he saw like 3 or 4 6gc up there.... i want to go check it out so bad now

[celicamike]

The junkyard where I live has no 6gcs, but there are several 5th gens w/ 5sfe, so I was able to find the parts I needed for my car.
