The Hewitt kit is more expensive than the alternatives, but it's the only one that ties into the starter relay - this comprehensively protects from the fault code. Other kits may flag the code again if you have the ignition 'on' but don't start the vehicle immediately.

Thank you, JLee! I will order the Hewitt kit as suggested

Why not DIY fix it with new pump and valves. All you have to do is remove intake manifold. There are Youtube videos for the Tundra which has the same engine. Then you know its good and not some jerry rigged pos kit.

Or you buy a kit that isn't a POS and never worry about it again.

Hewitt-Tech kit arrived. Went to spray some PB Blaster and noted the nut/stud where the block off plate is on Driver side is badly corroded. I’ve worked on enough exhaust area corroded bolts to know it’s highly likely the stud may break. Here’s a pic from front driver side. Would you attempt to remove nut this badly corroded?

Update- I was able to carefully back off the corroded nuts enough to push the block off plates in. Lucky me the corroded nut/stud didn’t twist off and break as I had expected it to do as I backed out the nuts. Access on driver side was a bit tougher than passenger side. Installing the module and running the starter relay wire were super easy. Mod completed. Thanks Club Lexus!
