I know it has been a while since I was on here and I did all the checks you outlined George I even pulled the IACV and cleaned that also it seems to run a lot better but still have cel my pcv valve would not have any thing to do with it would it. My air intake hose just got in today must have been sent by covered wagon. I will put that on tomorrow .I need to get one of those code readers any suggestions on a good one that won't hurt the pocket book to much. Thanks again for the direction

sounds like your water pump is going out I have a94 es300 and the water pump is in with the timing belt on mine

since your not doing the work yourself you might as well get the spark plugs changed while he is back their and the pcv valve if it hasn't been changed in a while it will be cheaper in the long run. My pcv valve is on the back valve cover also. I don't know if yours is . I have a 94 es300

I will try all your checks I also found a crack in my air intake hose I have a replacement on its way I will clean the air flow meter then. thanks again George.

seems like this problem started when I replaced the valve cover gaskets I took it in to get a diagnostic they told me it was the knock sensors and it would cost 1,800 that didn't take care of the problem took it to another mechanic he said it was a blown head gasket 1,500 . I took it a part had the head redone put it together and I still have the same problem miss fire on 2,4,and6. what more do I need to do. This thing has drained my wallet.gaskets alone are't cheap.runs a little rough at idle and runs like champ when I drive it. not good on gas can I get a little more help

ok I will give that a shot thanks no k&n filter

I kick up codes p0306 p0304 p0302 and p0300can you tell me what they are?

I tried to access the codes by putting a bridge wire from te 1 to e 1 and the check engine light did not blink

I switched the coils and this seems to be an on going problem with the same cylinder the only thing I have not checked is the fuel injector. Should I just swap it with another on the car.

I have 94 es300 with one black dry spark plug #6 that makes it idle rough and check engine light on .

I don't know what PM is but here is my e-mail chris.ortiz@navy .mil the car is 94 es300

The gears on the end of the cam are spring loaded and I should have put a bolt through the gears to keep them from moving I did not and now I need to pre load or put the gear back before I can put it back on the head

How do you preload a 94 es300 cam?
