Hello everyone. My son recently bought a 2011 Forte. Within a week the CEL came on. It was the P200A code. So I bought the part, saw that it was really easy to fix and proceded to fix it. I could tell that someone had been in there already because there was blue loctite on only those 3 bolts. So, anyways, I get the part out and look to see if the part is broke. It is, so I try to put the new part in and it won't go. When I pull it back out, that's where the broken piece is, it's stuck in the housing, so I get some needlenose pliers but it will not budge. After about an hour I give up and put the old piece back in. The car is still running fine. I'm just wondering if anyone else has run into this? Thanks in advance!
