Time for the turbo banjo bolt. This one was WAY more fun! I had removed the intercooler to access the tranny fluid dipstick (since it was wedged backwards up under the intercooler) to swap with Redline fluid. Went for the downpipe bracket and had to finagle a socket to get the heat shield bolt out of the bracket. I was able to get a socket on the nut side, but while going for the bolt (closer to the engine) my socket slipped off. Apparently I hit a sensor on the back of the engine by the turbo. After getting the banjo bolt out, pulling the screen out of the bolt, and getting everything put back together, there is a CEL. Not living near a parts store to read the code, I ran back over the whole ordeal and remembered the sensor.
So here is a picture of the sensor location. You can only see the black connector to the sensor from this angle at about 7 o'clock from my fingers.
And here is a picture of the cracked sensor.
From the photo it looks like the part number is 22633AA210, which per subarupartsforyou.com is Throttle Position Sensor. It's also over $90, ouch. Of course it also doesn't list the Baja under the "This Part Fits" either. So is this really the TPS? Do you think it is repairable or does it have to be replaced? Is it okay to drive as is until repaired/replaced? I'd go try to take it out now but the engine is hot and I already have enough bald spots on my arms from this car.
