I'm trying to figure out what every body else calls this part. My mechanic is calling it the "rag joint" & Toyota parts department can't figure out what I'm talking about & I can't find it listed on line. It is the round piece that is located between the steering saft & the top of the rack & pinon. Can you please tell me what it's called? 01 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner.

A couple of pry bars, some rags and a coat hanger. Start with prying at the top of the door, Use the rags to protect the paint. Pry out on the door, not to the body, as it will bend. Use the pry bars back and forth to get them further in the door. Once you have a gap, use the coat hanger and reach in and hit the unlock button. If the top of the door is sprung out a bit. Grab the top, put your knee in the middle and pull it back into place.
At the point where the air intake hose is connected to the engine is a part called the "throttle body". the TPS is attached to the outside of the throttle body. See picture below.
You really don't have any other options then to call a locksmith or find someone who owns a slim jim and open it that way.A slim jim is what most police departments use to open car doors.That might be something you want to try call your local police department they might even help you out.
Call your exPontiac dealer Buicks share a lot of parts with Pontiac, call the parts department an see if they have a fix, I imagine you'll have to buy a whole new cable. You can try a bone yard but you'll end up with the same thing eventually.
That depends, your best bet is to find a good original ones in a u-pull-it junkyard. You may even find the right color. If not there, try a regular junkyard or a aftermarket supplier for body parts but be cautious some cheap aftermarket (non original equipment) parts don't fit very well or require modification and some are just junk. Keep your receipt. Get the phone book out and call around, most junkyards will tell you if they have it and approximately how much and most will get it through their network if you want to pay the price. Call the dealership parts department just to get a base line price of what they would cost for new O.E. parts.
I know the best way to verify is to call the dealership and ask to talk to parts department. I know that you can buy the ball joints separate but they are pressed in and pressed out, not the bolt in kind. Call to verify though.
where is the part? on the drive shaft? on the front end?
