Do you have any aftermarket accessories on that circuit?

I think the article gives a good idea of what’s up.

Mine does the exact same thing. 97 LX450. I’m also missing a knock sensor (possibly coincidentally?). I don’t have a code for the knock sensor though.

I know it’s been a few months since I’ve responded to this thread, but I thought I’d update it. I finally got around to replacing the power steering pump gear. I did use the wits end tool to install the new gear and torqued everything to spec. Sure enough, no noise! However, I did do an oil...

Throttle body cleaner will not be enough for the upper intake manifold. Even soaking it in simple green wasn’t enough for me, had to pressure wash it afterwards to get the 25 years of carbon buildup off. as for the throttle body… simple green spray, throttle body cleaner and a brush were...

For that price I’d look at Bring a trailer. Watch and wait.

No, I cleaned the throttle body by hand. I didn’t order the lines from Toyota, I got all the correct line sizes from a Honda dealership I work for. Everything went together well.

Worked fine for me. Just diluted it 1:1 and didn’t leave it in for too long.

Just curious as to why you didn’t want to remove the upper intake manifold? I just did that with my LX after getting the P0401 code. I took the upper intake manifold off, soaked it in simple green and then pressure washed it. Also replaced all of the vacuum lines and EGR/vacuum parts. It wasn’t...

Apologies that it’s taken me so long to get back, but I finally got a chance to remove the power steering pump and sure enough… no knocking sound! :) thank you all for your help. I wasn’t able to take pictures of the gear but I inspected it close and wasn’t able to see a damn thing wrong with...

Do you still need one? I believe I have one.

That’s great, thank you so much.

Okay thank you. So are you saying I should just replace the PS pump? I will order a fsm.
