KINGreignn:
That toyota model is notorious for knock sensor malfunction which would disable overdrive meaning your gear wont get into the final gear.
Your engine 1MZ-FE has a terrible knock sensor which has a fragile socket and its harness could have been chewed by rodents.

To solve this issue, your engine air intake will have to be removed and its 'V' on the engine, exposed to reveal the culprit.
Id advice replacing both wire harness and knock sensor with tokumbo unit removed fron am engine or OEM brand new unit.

As for your heated O2 sensors wires which were snapped cut, replace the heated O2 sensor with genuine OEM denso or direct tokumbo piece. NOTE: the replacement Heated O2 sensor should bear same part number.

Shalom!
Thank you

Good day gurus, I have 2 issues I need advice on.
1. In the morning, my car revs up high on start-up (1500rpm - 2000rpm) and stays there for minutes( 4mins or more). This only happens when the engine is cold
2. I have a p0500 code(vehicle speed sensor) but my my speedometer works fine. I have an intermittent transmission slip when changing to 2nd gear. Can the fault code be the cause of it?
