dang 14 days is insane, maybe next time go to the dealership have them look up the part and have them write down the part number for you. then take the part # to local auto parts store or plug it in google and I'm sure you can find one for a good price with fast shipping.
if you google search how to check the CEL (check engine light) there is a video of how it is done. Start here and let us know what the CEL code is and go from there.
Why did you try to fix the wire, a brand new one from the Toyota dealership is only 20 bucks. it would give me better piece of mind to know it was brand new...
Like the real Nor-Cal (only an hour-ish from Oregon)
Finally can post!
New to me 1995 4R 3.0 4x4 5 speed
Needs some work, like the saggy rear and its throwing up a code 52 like gang signs but overall happy she is mine!
