crankshaft position sensor wiring

i need help finding the part for my tundra because i went out and tried starting my tundra and it wouldn't start and it threw a code (po335) it said it could be the sensor or wiring and i started with the wiring and my wires got cut by my drive belt any help is appreciated.

 

Might help by seeing good quality pics of the damage to then offer suggestions.

 

not home right now but what are u thinking like splice the wires and wire nut them or get a whole new wire harnness

 

According to how bad it's cut, might have to do more than splice. Since we are only talking 2 conductors, unless the connector got screwed up also, splicing should work fine. I would fix it for the long haul how ever you choose to splice it. Those 2 conductors head back into main harness IIRC and you don't want to buy that whole harness.

 

there is also another couple wires that are connected to the oil filter that are in the same conduit.

 

Hmmm, only thing I recall by "oil filter" is oil sending unit but it only has 1 wire. Did they or it get cut also ?

 

yes

 

No wire nuts. Use an antivibration crimpable butt connector instead.

 

No soldering either.

 

the oil sending wire and the green wire got cut up so did the red one but the red one should be fine.

 

the red one only has 1 singular copper wire showing.

 

these?

 

For use in wet areas, unless you're wrapping the splice to waterproof it, you may want to get a waterproof (jellybean/jelly-filled) butt splice or the heat-shrink integrated splices like this:

should i just replace the crankshaft sensor while down there or see if the wiring was the only issue

 

Personally, I would be splicing and see how she does.

Curious, did you recently have timing belt work done ? If not routed back properly, a drive belt can definetely do that kind of damage !

 

no i haven't. i bought the truck little under a year ago it probably needs it because i dont think its had a timing belt change and it has 233000
miles on her

 

If you do not know the past history, I would suggest going to Toyota Corp site and registering an account. Once you have your VIN # entered, you can check Service History if it was done at a Toyota Dealership. It might mention timing belt service and when done.

Toyota Owners Registration

The schedule for Tundra timing belts is 9 year/90K miles. So yeah, you are a tad overdue if never done
Very costly if it breaks

 

never has it once been serviced at a toyota dealer.

 

I can't recommend enough, if you have no service history, you really need to check the timing belt. This is easily done by popping a couple of the bolts off the passenger side timing belt cover and inspecting the belt.

You want to make sure yours isn't dry and cracked like this: https://www.tundras.com/threads/4-7-timing-belt.14118/page-10#post-2384391
Or worse, like this: https://www.tundras.com/threads/4-7-timing-belt.14118/page-9#post-2350905

If the belt breaks - as it has on a number of people who've posted here in the past - your engine is FUBAR. It's probably the most important thing in the engine bay you can check.

 

mine has no cracks or nothing my tundra like would studder when giving gas is that a timing belt issue? or the wiring issue?

 

More likely that wiring issue and who knows what else a previous owner could've done.

 

hes a good friend of mine and he told me what he has done to it and he never had any issues. he took pretty good care of it .

 

the previous owner.

 

Better take a look at that timing belt as others have mentioned. Some say look on passenger side. I looked on driver side by removing 3 10mm bolts on plastic timing belt cover and just gently pulling cover back enough to see belt. Just look for cracks or other damage. Wouldn't want to see you on here posting about looking for a new engine.

 

timing belt looks good and i spliced all the wires and she fired right up.

 

IIRC, there should be a clip somewhere to retain the wires so they don't get eaten/cut. Make sure you use it, or zip-tie the wires out of the way so this doesn't happen again

 

yes and i dont think there will be enough wire for me to splice them again.

 

i cut and pliced all the wires and lucky i went and look in my shed and i had 3 butt connectors could have been any better than going down to the hardware store to get some connectors.

 

Only other thing I'd tell you is, if they're not insulated butt connectors, you may wanna either dielectric grease them, electrical tape them, or something else to keep oxygen and water out. Last thing you need is the wires corroding and you're back in this boat again a year or two down the road.
