Dorman 911-614 Power Steering Air Control Valve

I have a 1993 Toyota 4Runner V6. The guy I bought it from said it had a really bad power steering leak. I did some research and this part kept coming up.It was indeed this part. The seal inside has gone bad allowing the power steering fluid to be sucked into the engine through the vacuum lines. The signs are excessive power steering fluid consumption, white smoke out of the tailpipe and engine oil level rising.

My Lexus (inherited from my late cousin, I don't have Lexus purchasing power) was driving stiff and blowing out blue-gray smoke on startup. I assumed it was a slow leak since we didn't see any drips after filling up the power steering fluid. It drove fine otherwise so I ignored it (because again, I am poor. I don't have Lexis dealership repair purchasing power either.)Then it began consuming Power Steering Fluid like tic-tacs. So after much Googling I found a video that showed the likely culprit. This was the cheapest option available so I hit buy and crossed my fingers. It was a simple one day repair and no more blue smoke or fluid hungry vehicle. Huzzah!Overall I'm very happy and it was well worth the price.

3 months and works great ! No more smoke from exhaust due to fluid weeping into intake from vacuum port !

It works great, we love it.

Cheap, quick easy fix for what I thought was real issue. Next day

My Toyota T100 started smoking at start up and my power steering fluid level was constantly dropping. The air control valve was allowing the power steering fluid to get sucked into the manifold causing the excessive smoking. My oil level was increasing every time I filled the power steering reservoir. I checked online prices and “Wow” , an original Toyota part was over $300. I needed the part and found the best price was on Amazon! It was easy to replace - remove the vacuum lines and it unbolts easily. Use Teflon tape on the threads and tighten up. I replaced the vacuum hoses because they were showing their age - dry and cracked. So great price ,exact fit and easy install !

The media could not be loaded. My old part had one of the 2 tubes broken. One hose did not have a tube to be inserted in... My truck kept shaking while engine was on and was parked, at red lights, etc. Ordered this and it arrived the next day. As soon as I put the new part in, my Tacoma's shaking stopped.

Went to all the trouble of installing this and bleeding the power steering lines only to discover that it was defective. Had to remove it and buy a different part. What a waste of time.

accidently broke a hose connector off shortly after installing it but it was good up and till then... brittle plastic pieces and wrenches dont mix.
