I snapped the plastic support for the crank sensor (oxygen sensor also attaches to the same piece) on my 2011 TL and can't seem to find the part in the diagrams. The dealer seems to think it's part of the wiring harness, which is $$$. If so, I'll just tape and/or zip tie it I suppose. Anyone know of this part is available separately? Here's a pic of the metal stay piece, but I need the plastic piece that snaps into this part.

try finding a local junkyard that has a 4th gen TL in it for parts. Im not 100 percent sure but you might be able to get away with looking at other J series models from Honda/acura, perferably acura and as close to 09-14 years.

The part in your photo is metal

Are you talking about the plastic zip tie looking peice that mounts to it?

Or the part on the connector that slides onto it?

I need the plastic piece that supports the CKP sensor loom. I showed the metal stay piece for reference, as that was the only part I could find.

Ok...does the plastic peice clip into one of the round holes? Or slide onto one of the square tabs?

It's hard to tell...but I'm. It going to worry about it. I forgot about the metal cover that protects it. I dabbed a little Honda bond on it where it meets the oil pan flange and called it good.

Is it just me, or does it take forever for the radiator fans to turn on? Engine is up to temp and thermostat is open, but the fans aren't coming on. It has always been this way. Just wanted to be sure it's normal.

If its not overheating then its normal

Cool. Thanks. Just went on a test drive and the car feels more peppy. Probably just in my head.
