So I installed genuine Toyota sensor today
I removed the old one and noticed both nuts fairly loose and one was only hand tight. Not only was the sensor and gasket black but my installer cut a corner of sensor mount off along with trimming gasket. So I figured this was definitely my problem. I put in the new sensor but had to reuse old gasket because i thought sensor came with one. If the sensor gasket is leaking will it cause the pinging or effect the downstream sensor? That was replaced 4 years ago when it was throwing a code. Any info is appreciated. Thanks

I just ordered two Denso 234-4162's for my 2000 T4R from Amazon and they both came with a gasket. Is your new sensor from the dealer or another parts store?
