Thats what I was thinking that the knock sesor fried,do you know anything about drilling the block of the engine to put the knock sensor on the outside and not take everything apart and run the wire where the new spot and knock sensor will go. what do you mean by feeze plug replacement job?
Knock sensor is under manifold intake two intake. Gskt sealant Toyota make a great sealant 00295-00102 black sealant really good product.i put all my motors togeather with it. Also replace wire 82219-35010 wire not to bad of a job 2 hrs maybe.do it yourself it's easy.
Ck the wire the sensor don't go bad very often I worked for toyota 23 years on. Shop parts counter.problem most of time wire.
i have same issue changed wire and sensor still code 52 also changed timing, spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor, radiator, fuel injectors, ecu, egr. only thing i have left to try is engine wiring harness and going to start that tomorrow unless anyone else has any input please call any time i am frustrated and broke Marc 401-450-6698
