Hey guys. Please subscribe comment, like, and share to all the ES and Camry owners. I really appreciate it guys. Help me out.
I’ve been looking all over my engine for those knock sensors. Would’ve never guessed it would be under the intake
Yup they hide them suckers
Great video! Thanks man. I needed to know the next step after removing the intake manifold, good looks!
Bless this post.
Nice video! Very helpful!
How did you take old knock sensor harness out? Mine is stuck with lock on support on other harness.
Take ur time. Used a flat head screw driver
Hey max did you do the valve cover gasket while ur in there? Hows that inlet hose for radiator fluid did u replace also? Going to do my rx300 but it doesnt look fun
Yes alot of things. Sorta wish it was a 4 banger
Thanks for the vid bud
What happens if you get a little antifreeze/coolant in the holes (intake) when taking it apart?
It can be ran or vacuum it out. Just empty the radiator 1st. Then stuff the holes with thick rags
Just wanted to say Great video man. I’m currently changing both my knock sensors and gaskets. Cleaning the intake out. I’m about to remove the 2nd piece of the air intake. Do I need to drain the coolant? That’s my ? Thanks again
Yes. It will get everywhere when you pull the manifold up
Hey Max, I have my 2000 Rx300 same motor almost apart down to the manifold. I would like to know how you got the two back bolts back in. Any tricks?
the right side i hand fed tight as i can then used a flat ratchet to tighten it. there is two on the left side, and one on the right. remove all the hoses. be sure to twist the hose with a pair of pliers first dont force anything. hope this helps
Good job thank you for the video
No problem thanks for tuning in. Any small paypal donation for my mom would be greatly appreciated. Her email. Dukelinda61@gmail.com
Great video, helps a lot. Keep em coming!
abe jams
Ive got an 01 avalon with the 3.0v6 vvt. Is it basically the same as that older non vvt 3.0v6 as far as knock sensor location?
Should be the same
Subscribe like and share please
This engine does have vvt-i.
Great video! Can you share what model/brand of knock sensors you got? Toyota wanna charge me for $235 for one! Super expensive...Thanks.
I paid too much. 135 each at orilleys. Try carparts.com

What what symptoms was your car displaying let you know to replace the knock sensor s?
Slight knocking and pinging in engine. Sometime rough idle
Car will also drive in limp mode
I have to do this tomorrow and what a bitch it is going to be. Good job on the vid bro. Thank u
Do I need to torque the intake bolts ?
Mike Odom yes 👍 sir.
Hey. Why in your car green antifreeze? Should be pink for Asian cars.
Exactly! Toyota/Lexus/Scion require the Pink POAT coolant that last 7 years 150000 miles because the old green IAT coolant that only lasts 3 years can destroy the cooling system on those cars. Peak sales it at AZ and AAP for 20.00 per gallon.
Do you know if it's the same location on a 1996?
Shady Senpai not very sure. If it's a v6 I'm sure it's in a tight spot
maxnguyen22 ok thanks but yea v6
if you engine looks the same im sure its in the same spot

Fck thats alot of work, the Plenun then the intake
Bro, if you were in So Cal, I'd pay you to do it
It's not that bad. I miss Cali so bad. I went in 2017. My mom now has the es. Still running good
Hey good shit man, but u should always pull that ground cable off the battery first (just saying)
Is it the red or black one?
Black is ground I think
How did u take off the intake manifold gasket
Have to remove the coolant reservoir
@@maxnguyen22 Not the coolant reservoir. You have to remove the coolant outlet. And to do that you also have to remove the bracket that sits on top of the water outlet.
@@joevignolor4u949 yes. All that stuff
What was the mileage when the sensors failed?
On my 2000 Lexus ES300 I started getting the check engine light and knock sensor code at around 156,000 miles. My understanding is that this is typically the mileage when this problem occurs in these vehicles. Also, it's usually not the sensors that fail. It's usually the short wiring harness that goes from the knock sensors to the main wiring harness. However, after you do all the work required to get down inside there you should change both knock sensors, the wiring harness and the bypass hose. And make sure you use OEM sensors and an OEM harness and not aftermarket parts. You definitely don't want to have to go down in there again.
Awesome video - have the same car. Say, your window sticker suggests you're in TX - are you close to Austin? If so I'll drive over and pay you to do mine. :-)
I'm in fort worth. Working full-time, full time dad, working on other cars it be a while before I can get to it
Lexus takes red Antifreeze, not Green! :)
I know. It's been two years and it's going!
Why you got green antifreeze up in that thing shouldn't it be red
Went the cheapest route possible! J-deezy
@@maxnguyen22 sounds like the expensive route to me sir
Did you have to drain the radiator coolant?
Yes
@@maxnguyen22 Did you use the POAT pink coolant that Toyota recommends?
Harrison Edgar In the video, the overflow tank has green antifreeze in it so it’s not the original red/pink coolant. Universal is fine. You don’t “have” to put the original coolant in it
f you're still getting codes after replacing knock sensors and clearing with scanner try resetting the ECM/ECU that's what I found to work.
What tools do I need to remove the sensor
I used a large and small adjustable wrench
After you have finished and it doe not start
Nope it runs good. Last 2 years my mom has been driving it
