@@jasonaday8472 it was difficult for me. Probably 6/10 difficulty. Tight spaces and difficult to see.

I have no idea. Google it.

I don't know. Have a mechanic check it out.

He is good.

YES GOD is very good and thanks to these people who share their knowledge

You do the back ones.

I don't remember. I think it went off by itself.

Well thank you. That's why I was doing these videos to help people out

You will have to loosen the belt that way. But you also have to go underneath to get the belt off. It can be tricky. Watch some videos on how to do it

Yes. All the mechanics say bad catalytic converter

I don't know. I just replaced both.

Scotty Kilmers idea. Mine still comes on and off at times...mostly stays on. 254,000 miles now.

I’ll give an update if mine does the same (i.e. codes comes back). I’m getting my timing belt replaced this week as well. In any event, these Toyotas are great cars…how many others can say they have a car that still runs well over 200K? I still thank you anyway and yes I know it was Scotty Kilmers idea. I’ve seen other posts about the same problem and they all said the same that the codes cleared once the lacquer thinner was added. I rechecked using the OBD reader and the codes were cleared.

UPDATE: Engine check light and both VSC and TRAC OOF lights came back on yesterday. I used my OBD reader with the same code P0430 but this time I found more info: Faulty O2 sensors for both Bank2 Sensor 1 and Bank2 Sensor 2 as well as Faulty Engine Coolant Temp (ECT) Sensor. Also DTC Guide shows "Damaged or leaking exhaust system , excessively retarded spark timing". I'm not sure if because this all started when I didn't have the gas cap on tightly (hearing the click) and drove for about 180+ miles like this began this saga. I just got the timing belt done last week and that cost me and arm and a leg...wondering how much this new info I got from my OBD reader is going to cost me. I even tried adding another gallon of the lacquer thinner and this time the lights didn't go out despite me driving about 180+ miles with the gas tank half emptied.

I've been driving with my sensors going on and off for 50,000 miles. I'll take it to a mechanic when it stops running. 😁

@@markyochum9753 You won't believe it but this morning the engine check light and other 2 lights went out and everything is back to normal (for now). I'm thinking the 2nd time I added the gallon of lacquer thinner gave me an additional delay in addressing this problem. I did more research on this problem and the 3 sensors that my OBD reader said I needed to replace is actually a fairly easy repair Only issue is that it may take some muscle strength to remove it since it's been in this car for 16 years and could take an hour or so to try to unscrew the sensor. One of them is in the front and top side of engine (easily accessible), the other one is under the car by the exhaust pipe and the other one is by the coolant (fairly easy to remove by just emptying the coolant first so there's no extra spillage) and then remove engine coolant temperature (ETC) sensor. I think for now I'll just keep adding the lacquer thinner every time the lights comes back on since it gives me some time and it clearly fixes the problem temporarily. I asked the auto mechanic how much it would cost to fix this problem and he quoted me $1100 (after already spending almost $2K last week for the timing belt & oil change). I can't see spending $1100 for what appears to be an easy quick fix. It just kills me that mechanics get away with charging so much for labor when you know it only takes minutes (in some cases) to fix.

Yes. New one. I figure if I'm in there...change it out.

Thanks. It's hard to video it by yourself.

Only when the alternator goes bad

Coolant temperature sensor

I just searched TH-cam. I think the Impala is similar to the Malibu.

Nice!! I should have called you for help! I told you. If I can do it, you can do it.

@@markyochum9753 i was going according to what you said.....i even made myself a lunch and brought it the car with me lollllll.....i guess i got lucky....thanks for the video....guys like you make it easy for us...:-)

I went back to see if I did. I don't think I did. The van has been running fine so far. 😁

Yep. These are not my ideas. I'm not a mechanic. I'm a nurse.

They sure do

My code went off by itself.

@azaanusa my lights went off by themselves, so I guess I'm a liar. For the serious inquiries, my lights eventually came back on so I don't think the laquer thinner is a good long term fix.
