What in the hell was Toyota thinking? It's almost as if the entire engine, harness, and whole works was designed and then someone said...hey, we have to put an EGR valve in there for the American market....looks like this is the only place it will fit...RIGHT NEXT TO A MAIN WIRING HARNESS.
Oh well, we'll just of wrap it up.
I can't believe it. Everything is so well thought out, so overbuilt and then this... I mean for crying out loud, they couldn't have moved the harness a few inches to the left?
...so what is the most common fix for this? I see that some people wrap header tape. I have some starter heat wrap and some sticky heat tape and I'm thinking of using that. What concerns me is that whatever I use will have to touch that EGR pipe, so I'm not sure how hot that pipe really gets and if regular heat tape will work or if I really do need something designed for contact with headers.
At least the factory harness and "heat" wrap appears to still be intact.
Any thoughts?
