P1346, P1351 and others on new engine
More news.
After getting my car back from mechanics new codes popped out:
P1346 and P1351 -- timing is off on both camshafts?
Btw, I explicitly asked them to change the foam gasket for both covers of timing belt. Check this out, there is no gasket at all:
P0125, P1135, P1155, P1130 and P1150 -- O2 sensors. O2 sensors are new. Probably due to a NEW crack on the front exhaust manifold:
Bank 1 O2 sensor is loose:
Besides this lots of scratches, loose bolts, loose wires and missing parts:

They told today that the exhaust manifold cannot be welded and needs replacement. BS. Anyway I am NOT paying for this.

I know, but I meant "I am NOT paying for it." I was trying to imagine how them are gonna pull that manifold out. The radiator support is on the way on top... Did you weld yours while mounted?

There is a gasket between the manifold and the engine block. I don't know specifically about the RX300 from experience, but with other vehicles I have worked on at my uncle's shop, we resuse them.

I am getting the P1346 code after timing belt replacement but the engine runs like a clock. What can be done to prevent this code?? What do you mean by "adjusting and rechecking over and over?"

Of course, they also had to redo the timing belt.
But in your case the problem is the timing only on the rear bank. They did not put the belt correctly. Ask them to redo it. It is 100% their mistake.

Actually I replaced the belt myself. The rear camshaft sprocket did turn during replacement of the belt. I turned it back to original position and the engine runs fine. I just need to find out what needs to be done to prevent the ECU from giving this code.

Good luck. By the way, 1MZ-FE VVT-i is an interference engine, so be careful not to hit valves with pistons.
I am just curious how did you manage to loosen crankshaft bolt? You have tools or you did it with a long bar and the starter?
