Help needed, Messed up repairs
I had made grand plans for this weekend, I wanted to take off intake & throttle body, and Replace TPS, Replace Knoc Sensor, Regrese Starter, Clean EGR plumbings and in the end clean clean IACV. I had it all planned and had arranged tools whichever I had forseen.
Now the fun part, Removing battery & intake was smooth, but after it I messed up big time,
I tried to use flex head wranchet to remove knoc sensor, to my horror 12mm socket came out of wranchet and is now stuck on bolt of knoc sensor. it had too much play on it so its now removing knoc sensor and now I am not even sure I can put back knoc sensor once its out. hatsoff to everyone who succefully did their KS.
Next I tried to regrese starter from Ali's writeup, Well I couldn't open starter bolts !!! tried for 2hrs and broke 2 sockets before I gave up. I have given it generous does of liquid wranch but no luck. exactly how to open these bolts!!
IACV, I successfully open 2 bolts and than right side top bolt got stuck with a piece of IACV with some senor on it and won't come out. so basically put back IACV right there.
In the end i tried EGV plumbing, the metal tube for code 0302, guess what I couldn't figure out any way to remove it. so I didn't even tried
Can anyone share their tip to do something about these repairs.
