I am not sure you are very clear here. ECT's (engine coolant temperature sensor) have a part number for each engine model and year.

Destyne,
It seems the image sent gets distorted and not readable. It could be the formating process. If you give me your e-mail address I can send you a clear diagram directly. Unless you have an idea on how I may upload the diagram in clear format.
Thanks,

SOURCE: Location of knock sensor on 1994 toyota 22vre engine

The Knock sensor on a 22re is located under the intake manifold on the engine block. to the upper left of the oil filter. With is the passenger side of the engine. I believe it is yellow in color. Not do be confused with the oil pressure sensor which is close by. The knock sensor has a larger electrical connector. Good luck it can be hard to get to.

How to give a tune up for a 1990 toyota 4runner?

with many new modern fuel injected vehicles its hard to give them a tune up without plugging them into a computer or getting an aftermarket computer chip and programmer.

however, if your toyota is running a little rough and getting bad gas mileage i would reccomend a new set of spark plugs and wires. and maybe a new fuel filter, i would do the spark plugs first, if the results are not satisfactory then change the spark plug wires, and if the results are still not up to your standards comparing the way it used to run to how it runs now then change the fuel filter. doing all these things will make the vehicle run clean and efficient like it should. and if it doesnt than im sure you have a vacum or oxygen sensor problem.

just wanna hop up the performance a little bit and get better fuel mileage?
then i would suggest and personally recommend a complete K&N cold air intake kit.

Hi, i have 1999 4runner and my temp gauge is still on the cold position all the time.

There are two differant tempature sensors one is the ECT sensor that is for the computer control system has 3 to 4 wires thats not it there is another sensor that has 1 wire that controls the temp gauge its near the thromostst you most likely have a bad connection from this wire unplug it and clean the problem should go away

Transmission not going into gear

I see this is kind of a stale post, but i'll try anyway. First, check your clutch fluid reservoir. If it's full, you may have air in the line, a bad master cylinder, or slave cylinder, or your clutch is worn out.
