I think its the crankshaft position sensor but I could be wrong.

I guess you better hope all your seals, hoses, o-rings, waterpump and radiator cap were manufactured in japan, cause if you bought them at the autoparts store like I did then 'Japanese coolant' will f...

I think your toyota could care less. You could probably go a hundred-thousand miles with 2 gallons of Tabasco hot sauce as coolant and never have any cooling issues. The radiator and waterpump are alu...
