I replace the knock sensors and wiring in a 2008 Toyota Sienna. This is response to a P0333 trouble code. Here's the gasket set I used: amzn.to/47k7ZPa
I have been dreading this repair but a few things of my research. 1. Replace the back spark plugs and coil packs with denso brand while you do this, these have a life of 150-200k so if never been done, do it now. 2. Clean the throttle body while apart. 3. Replace the heater hose by the knock sensors and clamps, due to a possible future coolant leak.
Well that explains why I got such a great dividend check last quarter from my Stock in Band-Aid !! …… All joking aside, we have the same year Sienna with 280k miles and have got a PO 333 a few times now so I know this project is in my future…Thanx so much for posting this !
My wife and kids are always rolling their eyes at me for coming into the house with blood on my arms and not being sure how it happened. I just get into what I am doing!
Really good video I may have to do a job on one of these in the near future. How many times did the car cut you while doing thus job? Ouch. Every time I get cut working on a car it just makes me work that much harder to get the job done faster and more efficiently. With all of the work needed for removing the intake, it is probably makes sense to just replace both sensors at the same while you are at it, to save any future head aches. Great video man!
I used a Fel-Pro intake manifold gasket set. Also, the rubber rings around the injectors seemed kind of hard and loose. I ordered what I thought was a replacement set but ended up being wrong so I just went with the old. I put the link to the gasket set in the video description.
