my car came without the engine cover so i didnt have to take it off.



the only tools yo need after you take you cover off is an allen key and a 10mm ratchet or wrench.

there should be 4 studs that need to come out ontop of the timing cover and then the black plastic should pop right out.


once removed just disconnect the plug on that sensor.



there is a 10mm bolt which holds it in from the top.

once the bolt is removed the sensor slides right out and you can slide the new one back in and bolt it down.




plug the new sensor back in and put the timing cover back on and bolt it back down with the allen key.

unplug your battery to reset the ecu and then reconnct it and you should be good to go.

I just ordered the part from the dealer $118, is that a good price? So this would also solve my problem I was starting to get a few weeks ago after I cleaned my maf and throttle body, acting hesitant and bogging when I would come at a red light at operating temps, it was my ocv on its way out! Awesome
