  1. Aaron: Google for "rx300 diagnostics pdf". When multiple codes are present often there is a single problem which cascades out affecting multiple sensors. Clear the codes, and then wait for the first one. For example, one bad coil can lead to multiple misfire codes. I usually swap the coil from the second one reported to the first, and see if the order changes. When it does I know which one is bad. When the CEL is turned on the car goes into 'limp' mode, and the engine will be rough. It seems to me the car goes rough a few seconds before the CEL illuminates. Good luck
  2. rob, your original description sounds like an abs problem. It presents like an intermittent grinding sound from one or more wheels while braking. You will also feel it in the brake pedal. The abs warning light does not always illuminate for this.
  3. Search for threads about abs problems.
  4. This might be what you are looking for: http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=37810 Good luck.
  5. Saw this on another site: http://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-first-generation/80181-drivers-door-panel-rattle.html
  6. Today I was outside my 99 RX300 cleaning the windshield. Doors and windows closed, engine off, radio on. I heard an intermittent buzzing sound by the passenger door and thought of your question. The radio speaker was inducing a buzz in two places - the passenger side mirror, and the door handle/door handle trim. Try the radio to see if it helps localize your problem.
  7. Lots of other links too. This one was informative: http://www.drivewerks.com/Newsletter/vol-7.htm No mention of any effect on axle or u-joint.
  8. Never heard of this before. Google search turned up this: http://www.rondavisradiators.com/tech.htm
  9. I would think this would be symptomatic of a failing wheel bearing, failing u-joint, broken abs tone ring, a loose brake component, or, if you are really lucky, something stuck in your tire tread.
  10. Maybe the attached document will help. Good luck! This document may also help. Good Luck! Wow those docs are really great. Thanks very much Joe.
  11. Hi, does anyone have a repair guide for replacing the driver side rear half-shaft on a 1999 RX300 AWD? Thanks
  12. My 1999 AWD has 193k miles. I was planning to do the timing belt soon, last one was done around 90K. Is it expensive to replace the crankshaft seal and idler bearings? Is this a recommended service? I don't recall it being mentioned previously.
  13. I have Dueler Alenzas, they are very nice. Good ride, handling, and tread wear.
  14. Any advice or ideas on how to check antenna cable -- short of taking to dealer. Hi, did you get anywhere with this issue? I have the same problem.
