Help identifying knock sensor for 3rz

Oh ok..I messed up.what I meant to say is there different manufacturers of the knock sensor but they all have the same connector ..and are compatible?

 

Same same.

All the oem ones off old toyotas all have the 'M' stamp.

So simple in design they should last forever.
Unfortunately on 2rz/3rz they put it right behind the fuel filter.

And because replacing the fuel filter is the No. 1 guess fix......
here we are.......




My guess is buying a cheap knockoff.....your getting a plastic connector that wont hold up to heat/time sitting on the side of block......it'll get brittle and break much faster the oem.....
Bet that's some of what's going on with these suddenly breaking....
......just like the one in OP's original post.....

 

Cheapest oem online one was $130........its very tempting to get the $15 ebay one......sure....

I bet the professional mechanics are very weary of these......break em all the time.....
Doubt they'll replace with a $200 one........but may accidently charge you the $200 price....

 

Well. I got the 200dollar invoice I'm slapping on the shops desk

 

Hey any of yall watch pine hollow auto diagnostics on yt? Dudes the real deal.

 

Alright got matsushita knock sensor installed. Timing at 12degrees at 702rpm idle. Was unable to notice a miss anymore. Fuel trims close to zero. No cel after several miles and complete obd drive cycle. Call it fixed

 

Just wanted to say after a number of months with the sensor go ahead and get the matsushita yall. Glad I did
