There's definitely other parts you could replace as well I suppose.

I was looking for a timing belt kit on ebay, preferred to get all OEM parts, so i just searched for the correct Toyota Part #'s for each part and referred to what was included in the timing belt kits on ebay.

hell yeah, found a new OEM intake airbox thing on ebay, and not for a bad price. $100 shipped, brand new, good deal. All the other places i saw had them for ~$200.
My car needed a new one of these badly because the tubing to the throttle body is cracked, as well as the two nipples on the airbox are broken off, vacuum leak central, lol.

cars been back on the road for a couple weeks now, no issues, no leaks as far as I can tell . Runs and sounds much better than it did before. Definitely glad I dished out the money for the 90k maintenance!

Did you use a washer with the new Coolant temp sensor ? If so did the washer come with your ECT sensor? I ordered one directly from toyota for my 98 part number 89422-30030 but it did not come with any washer. AS a matter of fact the old ECT sensor that i removed from my 98 did not use a washer. Could you please provide details on the washer. Cant tell in the picture if there is a washer being used. Thanks

I ordered some generic brand coolant temp sensor and don't believe mine had a washer either

put a bunch of miles on my car is the past couple months with trips down the Boca Raton, FL as well as Topton, NC to watch the eclipse. It's now at 272,xxx miles.
Unfortunately in the process my harness on drivers side fender got snagged and torn apart by the tire. My ABS light immediately came on as well as Check VSC. I plan on fixing this, but at least I know what that wiring was to under the fender now, lol.
