I have an LS 400 1990 and need an engine replacement, any thoughts in whether or not it is worth it? Car value is $4700. Lowet price I have gotten so far...
I'm in a similar boat (so to speak). My '90 LS400 needs engine work close that $$ range. Awesome car, but I can't see putting that $$ into something that will...
Its always hard to seperate from a girl that has treated you well over the years. The answer, it seems to me, is way too personal to be answered by strangers....
I have replaced engines on two cars, a '91 Toyota Corolla and '90 ES250. However, I did it myself and didn't have to pay for labor. But even without paying for...
Hi, I have a 98 ES 300, and had the dealership replace a the turn signal because the right hand one was blinking very fast. The left one was blinking in the...
Yes, this almost always means that a bulb is burned out somewhere. Start the car, flip on the turn signal, then get out and walk around it, look for the dead ...
Hi Guys!! :o) COULD a faulty or dirty Oxygen Sensor cause an engine to feel especially sluggish [as though it had lost 100 h.p. or so] when 'flooring it'?...
I don't think so. A failed O2 sensor will usually cause the ECU to run the engine rich. Your gas mileage will go way down, the exhaust will smell funny, and ...
I have a question re my new IS250. It has a smell coming from the Catalytic Converter, and it's only got 3,500 miles on it. Could it be just the car...
Sorry to tell you this, but your new car is ruined. I'll take it off your hands for you... ;-) (I'm insanely jealous...) Have you contacted the dealer about...
lol Ken. It only seems to smell when I've gone for longer trips. I'm waiting to take the car in for the 5,000-mile service, which will probably only be...
Hi -KLF!! :o) I appreciate the reply. The car I drive is a 1993 Lexus LS400. Does that model have an OBD- II? IF not - is it even less likely the some faults...
90% of the times when a CEL comes on its a bad oxygen sensor if the car has over 100,000 miles on it. some cars have 2 or 3 of these sensors and unless the...
Craig: Wow, yes indeed your car should be a lot faster than that, with a 4.0L V8 engine. A failing O2 sensor will mess with the timing some, but unlikely that...
I was told by a friend who works for NuShield that they have a special 10% discount available to bloggers and user groups. When you make a purchase and type...
Maybe someone can help me with this. I have an IS 300 sportcross with of course the automatic and an IS 300 with the five speed not to mention an RX-8 with a...
Hello Lexus-forum, I have a question regarding to my Lexus so called Cellular Mobile Telephone (1998). Everything works perfect except i can't receive any...
Damn, it has sure been a while... I just realized today that it's been 12 months since I last went out with a special lady, but I am pretty happy to be heading...

This is my problem it seems silly...but it is actually happening! I have a 1991 LS400. This morning I was stuck in a traffic jam for at least an hour on my way...
You need a new alternator. -KLF ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection...
That is what I thought might be a possibility. If I go to a Lexus dealer, is that an expensive item? Some cars they are cheap...some cars arn't...my BMW it...
Here is my opinion on alternators, and Toyota/Lexus parts in general. Take it for what it's worth. The alternator in your car is probably 14 years old, ...
Ken, I agree with everything you said :) One thing though, this to the original poster, how handy are you ? can you use a multimeter ? if yes, ya may want to...
Before I bought anything I would check all the wiring in the trunk that goes through the left hand trunk hinge. There is a bundle of wires in the left hinge...
I will check that out...thank you. I think it is kinda wierd that this stuff is happening when I press on the brake pedal. I have had an alternator go out...
good thought..... in Audi's we have a simlar issue, althought the wiring the driver door is a more common malady ;) Mike, 93 100 csqa (Audi Quattro Wagon) 04...
That same thing happened to me on my BMW, was at a fast food drive thru when the lights came on too, radio went out, wipers stopped working, turned everything...
My 1991 Corvette had the same thing happening to it a few years back. No one could find the problem until some smart mechanic noticed the the Ground Connector...
