Your still a hell of a mechanic. I just did the front valve cover on my 04 es330 and took me 3 hours cause I have lower back problems. But prior to me getting hit in 2022 I did knock sensors valve covers on a past vehicle I owned 00 es300 and never had lower back problems. It sucks. lol. But gotta push through Over winter break I’ll do the knock sensors and back valve cover probably will take me 2-4 days. Cause I won’t be able to lean over for long.
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!
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.
Great job sir. I hope to be in good of shape as you are later in life. My back kept hurting watching u leaning over lol. I don’t know how you did it
I am helping my daughter put a head gasket in her ford escape and I was stiff the entire next day!

Good advice!

My husband is going to do this project over next weekend on our 2006 Toyota Sienna. Thank you for the video and details!
Get some band aids!
@@RobsFixitShop He survived it and our car passed inspection!
@@SD-co9xe Great! I am glad I could help!
thanks for your guidance. Greatly appreciated.
What size bolt for the knock sensors? And do you need a swivel socket to remove?
I have to do this on our van, and it only has 120K on it. Damn. I am not looking forward to it for sure. Great Video!
Good luck! I hope you don't drop your socket down the back of the engine as many times as me!
Thank you mr robs i see how pix knock sensor toyota sienna it happens to mine same thing 🎉❤
If I have a p0328 knock sensor 1 code do I need to do the same process or is sensor 1 easier?
Can you provide a list or at least description of all the new gaskets you replaced. Would be much appreciated!

Thank you for the instruction
Thank you for the video. Did you drain the coolant to do this job?
No need
how many knock sensors did you replace? Should i replace both i don’t have to get to it again? I got the same code too. Thank you for sharing!
I replaced them both and the wiring harness although I would have only needed to replace one. Good luck!
Are both knock sensors the same part no.?
I think they're the same, I bought them as a set
Lots of work! Good job! How many hours total?
Sadly, it took around 4 hours and I was stiff as a board the next day from all the reaching back to get that stupid bolt off!
@@RobsFixitShop It only took me about 3 hours, and that was because of this video, thanks!
