2000 Tacoma Knock sensor

[Ravic]

Yep, mid range accel was lost

more than likely just the knock sensor. If I were in the situation you are in with the truck I’d bite the bullet and go oem or good quality advance/auto zone brand just for the warranty on it

Those 2.4’s are stout engines. If it’s not a knock sensor which it probably is I would check the throttle position sensor because they get worn or build up on them and get out of adjustment.

I’ve got 2 of the gen2 4cyl Tacoma’s with the 2.7’s in them. I know a little more about those than the 2.4’s but what I do know about the 2.4’s is that they are pretty much the same bulletproof design.

I have been completely surprised on how reliable it's been. 60,000 miles over the 10 years I've had it. It was a retired fleet truck that I paid $1500 for. Best purchase ever.

Rock auto is a good company. I met the guy who owns it. He’s a long haired guitar playing and still lived in his parents basement guy. No joke, he lives in McCaysville.

He started the company. Not sure if he owns it anymore. Just know he has some bad *** Vipers.

I’ve got to pull my intake on my 5.3. I’ll be changing both sensors and the harness while I’m at it. I don’t want to do it twice.

Be sure to add a light bead of silicone around them when you seat them in the valley. Numero uno killer is moisture trapped in there and corrodes them. Should last the life of the motor after that.
