    idling at about 1k and dying at stop lite.
    did MAF Cleaning, replaced plugs with Denso iridium, new KN air filter, new o2 sensor. check for vacuum leaks.
    still running rough at idle, runs great on freeway.
    only thing left is PCV valve. Could not find in truck. :confused:
    look for a couple hours in here, + still no pics of its location.
    anyone out there has any idea or picture, it is for a 07 2.7l
    thanks

    The PCV Valve is called a " Ventilation Valve " in the service manual under emission controls section.

    On the 2.7 liter engine it is in the Passenger Side Rear Corner of the Valve Cover, pointed back towards the firewall.

    thanks for the reply Jimmyh...

    The darn thing was painted blue, the same color as the engine and valve cover. this truck has 130k on it, does it mean that this valve has 130k on it too? Took it out and it rattles when shaken but I will replace it anyway.

    It's probably never been replaced.
    Blue? Someone has painted your engine. The valve cover and intake parts are black, engine is bare aluminum.

    You should be able to blow through the valve cover side and not through the intake side. Think check valve.

    Bought PCV Valve from local Toyota dealer $6.99
    replaced, ran much better.
    But engine hesitate when press on accelerator and revs down instead.
    been looking for vacuum leaks....

    I was just saying the PCV Valve operates like a check valve ( it only allows flow in one direction ).
