Correct i got a check engine light then it went away in the middle of the session around 1 min later the car went into limp mode and the engine was done. Apparently the heat is what is causing these injectors to fail.

Wasn't your engine covered, why part out?

how hard was to remove the intake manifold?

so a newbie can do this?

do we really need the sst tool or no?

Remove manifold is not hard, but you need SST to put the seal in. I did not have SST either. So it took time to put the seal in.

What is the SST?

Special tool that Toyota recommend to use for putting seal in. It is on the service manual.

It got covered but i did get warned it was only going to get covered once. Im starting to worry that they wont do a recall on this and i will be going through engines every 4k miles. Hopefully they figure this out.

The tsb/recall process could be sped up if people filed complaints with the NHTSA. You need to create a paper trail with adequate documentation before most companies begin to even take notice...

I am a Toyota tech I just replaced these seals on a customer car. #1 Teflon seal was missing/burned off. I would recommend you use special service tool, seal does get stretched on installation special tool helps to install correctly.

How can we get the special tool
How hard is to do this job
