Oga Gazzuzz,

I scanned my car ES 330 and it says that my knock sensor, bank 1 and 2 is faulty (P0325 and P0330). I have changed upto 4 different sensors and it still brings out CEL after clearing it.

We have checked the harness and it's in good condition and we have actually used 2 different harnesses.

What could be the problem?

All the sensors were tokunbo and untested. How can I get original and tested sensors?

Could it be something else that's wrong?

Post a pic of what you have been changing let me solve the riddle .

Please @GAZZUZZ, kindly help with the interpretation and possible solution to this error code :

"P2109 - Throttle / Pedal Position Sensor 'A' Minimum Stop Performance "

I got other error codes too but when I cleared code, only the above remained.

Thanks

Clean throttle body , remove battery terminals after that for 2mins .

Another issue, my engine oil goes down too frequent, like within 4 months, I must topup.

I have checked for leakages and there's none.

What could be the issue?

Your vehicle is a 2005? If I am correct you have the wrong engine currently installed .

The Es300 comes with a 3.0L 1mz engine and knock sensors like what you have in your hand.

The ES330 comes with a 3mz vvti engine and black plastic knock sensors like in the pic below.

I recommend you buy the right knock sensors and short knock sensor harness and send me a bottle of wine when you done and it's working fine.

PS find me number and contact me for parts of you cannot find

Please how do I remove this broken part of my fuel door for rx 330
So i can weld the door back
Can i remove it myself?

Okay. But i was using Mobil 1 0w20 and still experienced the same issue. Only changed to see the difference.

Or is Mobil 1 also low?

What do you suspect to be the issue?

I plan to upgrade back to synthetic once the solution is gotten.

Buying full synthetic and toping oil every 3 months is worrisome.

I will strongly recommend that you allow someone with the proper skill set to carry out this operation since you cannot understand how to unscrew and screw 2 10mm bolts.

Let me guess, your speedometer also stopped working?

Check your speed sensors... Or ABS sensors

Better still, scan your vehicle
