What is this part? I was working on my truck and it cracked

What is this part name? Its some kind of housing. I was working on my truck and it cracked. A lot of coolant leaked out.

 

Where, on the motor, did you get it from? (I don't ever remember seeing that part)

 

It is on the back of the intake. Hard to find if you aren't looking for it. Its cracked in the middle. I'm holding it together. Thats the water temperature sensor on the end I believe.

 

That is the cylinder head temp sensor housing. I will get you the part number in a few minutes.

Trying to locate it, but doesn't show up for your 2000 Tacoma SR5 with 3.4 engine. Still looking.

 

That would be very much appreciated BamaToy1997. I'm having the hardest finding out what it is. Nobody seems to know. Haven't been lucky on the internet either.

 

Can you confirm the vehicle and engine?

 

Yes, it is definitely 2000 tacoma srd xtra cab with 3.4 l 4x4. Somebody told me it is the temp. sending unit housing.

 

That is what it is. My guy at Toyota just can't seem to find it in the parts list. lol. got a VIN ? PM it to me.

 

Might be called coolant temp sensor housing.

 

it's not the sensor that is broke. It is the entire HOUSING that broke on him...lol

 

As soon as I have a chance to get my vin i will get it to you. At work right now lol

 

Im sorry. It is not a 3.4l it is a 2.7 lol. My mistake.

 

I got one. Pm me if you want used from 96. Not cracked. Make offer. Thanks

 

AHA! lol. I was thinking it was from the 2.7 and that is why I asked to verify the engine. lmao. Goes on the back of the cylinder head.

Part number is 11181-75021. I can get you a brand new one for $10.25 and $5 shipping. Let me know.

 

Gotta love this place, nice help. Good deal.

 

DIRTY DOG!

I was zooming all over the other day trying to find that part for you Viedo. No wonder I couldn't,,,lmao. Hell, I have a 2.7,,which is the shameful part. It flashed thru my mind that it might cross over to the 3.4 as well.

 

Found that part guys. Dealership said it's a cover lol. I was originally taking off my EGR valve because it's throwing a P0402 code. My wrench slipped and cracked that housing when taking off my EGR valve. Thanks to everybody for the help btw. So I replaced the housing and put the EGR valve back on and everything now the truck wont crank. I'm positive I put everything back on correctly. Nothing was difficult about doing this.

 

Hmm maybe the coolant that dumped out got something below it wet that wasn't supposed to get wet?

It just doesn't crank or click or nothin?? The lights on the dash come on though??

 

I forgot to plug in the temp sensor. That might be it.

 

It turns over. Electronics come on. Battery might be too weak to crank truck? Hasn't been started in almost 2 weeks. Going to try to jump it off this weekend.
