Got a P0133 code indicating knock sensor trouble.
SOURCE: knock sensor code, p0330
The knock sensors either work or they don't. When they do not, the light comes on. All that a knock senor is is a piezo crystal that vibrates at the frequency that is comparable to engine "knock", and sends that yes/no signal to the ECU. There are 2 knock sensors, and both are bolted to each side of the engine interior walls, under each cylinder head. You have to remove both of the intake manifolds to access the knock sensors and their wiring.
Price to pay? My flat rate book suggests 3.7 hrs to change both. 3.7 hrs times your local labour rate, plus the price of the 2 sensors and/or wiring, and the price for the gaskets for the upper & lower manifolds. Depending on your location, you could quickly spend over $500.00.
SOURCE: Code: P0133 - O2 Sensor Circuit Slow Response Bank 1 Sensor 1
is this a 4 or 6 cylinder?
if a 4 cylinder it will only have 2 o2 sensors
V6 will have 4 o2 senors which the sensor will be the right side of the engine first sensor.
1st sensor on exhaust, I recommend if you change one change all, as this will make the computer when it rechecks the system you have all clean/fast responding sensors.
if you have a slow response it means the sensor is dirty and not reading well, which is usually caused by minor misfires that the engine computer dismisses, so a tune up would be recommended too.

This code does not always mean the O2 sensor is low, but if u want to replace it here is the info to do that and the part number.
The sensor you want is the one in the exhaust pipe of the engine cylinder bank that has #1 cylinder in it, as you face the engine with the hood open the cylinder bank u want is the rear bank, u will need to jack the car up and get under it to remove the sensor, u may also need a special socket to remove it, the sensor is the one that is before the catalytic converter. part number is:DENSO Part # 2344068
REAR; Before Catalyst

I just came from an Autozone, and then spoke with 2 Hyundai dealership service departments and they all three stated the P0113 code is the Intake Air Temperature sensor (IAT, also referred to as the Mass Air Pressure - MAP - sensor) on the engine, not an O2 sensor found in the exhaust system.
SOURCE: have p0130 and p0133 codes 98 toyota tacoma
check the mass air flow sensor there maybe dirt on the filiment inside the sensor causing false readings. cleaning or replacing it may make the codes go away.
Oxygen Sensor Circuit Slow Response (Bank1, Sensor1)
What does that mean?
This involves the front oxygen sensor on Bank
1. This code indicates the engine air fuel ratio is not being adjusted by
the oxygen sensor signal or the ECM as expected to do so, or not adjusted as
often as expected to do so once the engine is warmed or under normal engine
use.
Symptoms
You will likely not notice any drivability problems, although there may be
symptoms.
Causes
A code P0133 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
