Help! I broke a Sensor. 3VZ-FE
Yesterday, my dad and I were taking the top end of our 93 4Runner's engine apart. I was pulling on what I beleive is a part relating to the Heater core on the bakc of the engine over the intake. There was a hose I didnt see and as I lifted the part, it broke a piece of the sensor. Im unsure on the name as I havent checked the FSM yet. Hopefully the pictures speak for themselves.
Thanks in advance!

That thing will cost you $60.00 at the dealership sir.. mine was broken off and been running with out it and still run fine, but I just got it replace just to be in the safe side. I can give you the part # if you want, just pm me if you need it.

Easy fix. I used some hard plastice tube from a fishing bobber and drilled out the hole a tad bigger on the part and glued them in. Its been workin good so far.... well as far as I know anyway.

Thank You guys!!! Now I dont feel like an idiot anymore. Glad to know its a common problem I have horrible luck anyway. My dad and I were pulling a Vortec 350 out of a van and I went to unplug the Ignition Coil and I broke it in half.
