That's what I thought, but just wanted to make sure, esp. since I read somewhere about someone using Teflon tape on it...

As a rule of thumb, threaded fasteners and connections on Toyotas do not use tape sealers. If anything, it will use something like Loctite. -- Ray O (correct punctuation to reply)

Wonder where I can find another... Tried a transplant of ECT sensors ('96, '99 Camries) to try and isolate my warm startup stall problem on the '99. Had a hunch since it's temperature related it might be the ECT. Nope, that's not it... just found out today. Michael |
