The Title to this thread is misleading.
In 98-02 we can buy contacts and plunges, 06-07 we can not. I've never done 03-05, but I assume they are like the 06-07 where we buy magnetic switch (solenoid). For either we can buy a complet rebuilt Denso starter rather than rebuilding ourselves.
Intake manifold has two gasket one on left the other right. No need to buy extra!
The 06-07 VVTi 4,7L use a plastic intake manifold with a rubber gasket that fits snugly into manifold.

VVTi have the A.I switches which are in the way. So I order extra hose, No 2 switch gaskets and water pipe O-ring for those.

98-May 05 have aluminum intake manifold that uses two hard gaskets, one on left the other on the right (3 piece, plastic/composite samwitched in metal)

If I'm removing fuel injector during job to have them rebuilt or replaced, planning too at later date or very high mileage. I'll then replace bottom rubber seal (isolator) for each (8) fuel injector.
