Do not all hilux’s look like the one in the pics on the first page? I’m still trying to figure out how to put up a pic of mine

It appears that yours has been removed at some point. Have you owned it from new? It looks like yours has been taken out and replaced with a tube. The black tube in the centre of you photo. The filter should sit in that metal clasp bracket that is empty.

I'm not sure why it would be a good idea to remove it, but I'm no expert. I'm sure others will be able to comment on that.

Absolutely correct. It has been removed, probably not good at all as the filter stops the oil mist from getting to the sensor and giving you dodgy readings!
It should be clipped in here


You should definitely grab one and throw it in there. Also clean out the line going to the map sensor and maybe replace the sensor too just to be safe..

Just need to cut it on that corner so you have a small section coming from the throttle body to the bottom of your filter. And the line that goes to the sensor plums onto the top.
Don’t worry about that crooked out pipe that’s where ive tapped off the line to monitor the boost level

Did mine last week......VERY noticeable difference in pickup!

2014 Hilux with 75000 kls on it. Sprayed degreaser through mine. Lots of black crap came out. Blew out with air. Re assembled and took for a spin. Instant boost in performance. Terrible throttle lag gone. Fuel usage has dropped from 11.5 Lts per hundred klms to average 9.5 Lt per hundred Klms over the last 400 Klms. Big saving for about a half hours work. Thanks guys.

Hej,

it `s really strange how much dirt is inside of this little filter...but the hoses are clean...

the effect is great...after 400 tkm... the vehicle runs smoother...

Thanks for your postings

I can also confirm cleaning out my MAP sensor made a noticeable difference in throttle response and torque down low in the rev range. Fuel consumption improved around 1 litre per 100km. Mines a 2014 SR5 model. Thank you for the post!

2014 sr5 auto, 81000, dramatic loss of fuel economy
changed air filter, cleaned maf, am getting 12L / 100 (8.6 kmpl average)
going to clean MAP on the weekend and report back

175k and cleaned mine out. Vehicle now has slightly better pick up and power. Will buy a new filter instead.

Cleaned mine out on the weekend. Bit of gunk came out but was expecting a lot more considering its never been done before. Hilux has just over 200kms on the clock.

Improvement in fuel economy but didn't notice much in the power side of things.

Update; helped a bit, replaced with the newer black top MAP filter toyota part no 90917-11044

im going to clean the EGR though and put in a 7mm plate next

Has anyone tried the PDI Stainless Map Sensor Filter yet?

Are they serviceable?

A toyo filter is only $25.. so its a pricey upgrade.

They reckon it’s more reliable because it’s sealed and stainless, can handle more boost?
Same internal gauze filter as OEM

WOFTAM as it cannot be pulled apart to clean / replace filter.....

Great thread guys!

2013 SR5, where at 225,000km, located an oil leak around the top/rear of valve cover and thought it to be the rear injector seal. In the light of day, identified it to be a hairline crack in top rear the valve cover. Bit the bullet and ordered a new one. Whilst valve cover and other components were off, noted build-up of soot and oil residue in the Inlet Manifold and EGR. Both sent out for clean and subsequent refit.

On return to usual driving found the vehicle to be a little hesitant on initial take-off but would then come good. Around 5000km's later, vehicle throws engine warning light in conjunction with VSC and Traction Control lights illuminating. Nil limp mode and it maintained to drive normally with only the previous hesitation on start and take-off.

Had fault diagnosed as a P0400 code and an indication it could be a number of issues mostly relating to EGR failure. Now looking to remedy with an EGR delete. Cleared the error code (x2) and faulted with same warning lights at 85km down the road on two occasions. I would have thought if the EGR had failed it would've shown the warning lights somewhat immediately.

On reading this thread I've have now cleaned both MAF and MAP as per Roos directions. Cheers mate.
Is there any other filters or sensors likely to need a little clean and spruce-up as I noted what appears to be a plastic valve/filter in-line with fitted hoses leading to the top of the EGR, just below the position indicator sensor?

This is the first issue I've experienced with this vehicle.
Curious if any other folks have had similar issues.
Here's hoping to no more P0400 codes.

If it continues to fault, I may just run with an EGR delete.
