    Any images for a 2nd gen 2006 2.7L Tacoma ?
    I understand it should be near the PCV Valve, but haven;t located it.
    Seems Toyota moves it around on different models.

    According to service info it's bolted to the top of the intake manifold near the throttle body, I'll see if I can find a picture of it when I get home.

    I can't seem to find an actual picture for a 2.7L and mine is a 4.0L, maybe @Jimmyh has one since he has a 2.7L.
    This is the best I can do for now.

    The pics below are not of a 2.7 I don’t think. But they should help.

    Easiest way to find it.

    Find this 3A82627E-95A0-4487-BB95-A30E37B0AF76.jpg

    Then follow the hose back to the engine and into a thing like this. AB293044-09A4-4820-8D25-FEB2C6DA0596.jpg

    Yea that's a 4.0L but yes you can find that resonator (2.7L uses the same one) and follow the line back to the purge valve.

    Yeah, it took me awhile just to find a pic of the resonator.
    I was pretty sure it was the 4.0.
    To be honest, I’ve spent more time under my truck than under the hood. :rofl:

    Nice. Good to see you found it and got it replaced.
    Looking forward to your post.
    Maybe give us some tips, so the next guy can get and idea of what he is up against.
