OK so i have a 1994 Lexus Es300 Black. Tan interior. with 220k miles on it. i bought this last year with 169 thousand miles on it yeah i drive alot from back to vegas to oregon and california... i keep up with the transmission oil changes. since i purchased i had to get new axles,shocks and struts all the way around. new tires fix 2 doors (plastic clips were cracked) the back windows will not roll up or down....(still) so just about 2 weeks ago i was driving and i heard a wining noise from the engine all of the sudden i can full press down on the gas and my RPMs dont go up that quickly like im in Nutrual and cant move but it moves slowly about 15mph.. i looked at my gauges and noticed my temperture rising so i pulled into a parking lot and turned it off it was about 3/4 to Hot. i got water and put it into the radiator turned my car on after i let it cool down. i couldnt reverse out of the stall. reverse went forward like it was in drive. so here is a list of problems. of the car.

-Reverse gear is like *(Drive)

-Transmission problem?????

-one of the radiator lines are leaking

-back windows wont roll down

-gauges down light up (tack)

-loss of power i have a camry (97) with the same engine has alot more power

-over heats due to no coolant ( i have to fill it up everytime i stop somewhere)

Change your rad and make sure you did not loose your tranny fluid.

the 97 is not the same engine ,it has VVT

After the rad, check in with Sean at Ger Brock Performance in Portland Oregon. He can fix ANYTHING on the older Lexus ES at a fraction of the cost of elsewhere. The guy is very very good.

do you guys think that the tranny went on it? i really feel like leaving it somewhere and letting someone steal it! after i put full coverage on it! haha anyways all that aside. it has quite a bit of repairs needed is it worth it? to fix anything?
