    Hi everyone, long time Toyota owner new Tundra owner. Recently got a really sweet deal on a 2011 Tundra. During my purchase I requested the valve cover gaskets be replaced so I could rule out the cam tower leak issues that have been found. It was a bit grimy and I was concerned so the gaskets replaced was part of the deal. In the end it was valve covers and the towers are fine. Long winded.. Lets get to the point, I decided to change out my spark plugs as they wanted way to much to do it while doing the valve covers gaskets, 265$ while they were in there?? .. never mind.. Upon changing my right side I noticed a nice piece of white tape holding some wires in place on a sensor. Nice bright white tape so it was a recent "fix" due to valve cover gasket replacement... As I was unplugging some sensors to make space the wires popped right out of this particular one. Cam sensor? Not sure and I cannot seem to find it. In the end I need to find out what order the wires go back into the clip but in order to find that out I need to know what sensor i am looking at or possibly someone here may be able to tell me the color order.

    Anyhow thank you very much for reading my novel and thank you in advance for any input here.

    since the wires are pulled out of the pins, you will probably need the repair wires. 82998-24250 x3. the will have the pins already crimped on. They list for $7.93 each at your local Toyota dealer.

    Perfect, thank you very much for the help. Red/Black/yellow although it appears I will have to get a new plug as there does not seem to be a way to open this one or pull the pins so I can re-crimp. Ahh Thank you Fliberto, I missed your message above the diagram.

    Ouch squirrels.. Did ya end up getting a new plug?

    The only way to get the pins out at this point is with a pin tool and a small pick to push them out. The connector part number is on the first pick. 90980-12353. It's $7.99

    Id say repin the original wiring over butt connecting. Looks like you have enough factory wiring there to make it happen.

    Solder and butt connect is different. Solder should do well, I'm not necessarily a fan of butt connects which is what I mentioned (but I'm an ass man otherwise ;))

    Thanks everyone, I went with the Doorman kit.. locally 45$!! yet its done correctly and now I do not have to worry about it. I am not a fan of crimp connectors no matter the project, always solder/shrink.

    Thank you once again
