  1. I just had the timing belt replaced and they went ahead and did the Bone mount since it was really warn. I'll wait and see if it happens again though. The idle is very smooth. Once warmed up, it stays at 750 RPM's, and doesn't fluctuate when the A/C is on or off. My mechanic said it could be due to the A/C turning on though. As in, I stop with the A/C off, then start with the A/C turning on and that could cause the surge. I'll have to pay more attention to my A/C and see if that's the cause of this issue. Since it has only happened about 3 times total, it may very well be due to the A/C.
  2. I recently purchased an 97 ES300 and noticed a strange behavior. I've put roughly 250 miles on the car and this has only happened 3 times. When I come to a full stop, 3 times now the car has lurched forward when I let off the brakes. It's not too bad... just a slight move forward. It's mostly felt in the car more then the car actually jumping forward. It feels as if the engine/tran has built up some energy and when the breaks are released that energy is allowed to release as well. I can't reproduce it as it has only happened 3 times and it seems like a fluke occurrence. I've tried braking very heard vs. braking very soft... didn't make a difference. I'm just trying to come up with possible causes. I'm thinking maybe a worn motor mount or possibly worn transmission mount?
  3. Thanks for the replies guys. Is there a way to clean the lock itself? Can I spray something in it and open/close the lock to hopefully loosen it up a bit?
  4. I bought a 97 ES300 last week and overall I think it's in pretty good condition for it's age. I initially had an issue where the seat belts didn't fully retract... but a quick search on this forum and I found that I had to clean that little mount that goes on the pillar to get rid of all the gunk stuck in it. Once I cleaned that out, the seat belts retracted like they should. Awesome 5 minute fix at no cost. However, I have another problem I'm trying to fix. My drivers side door doesn't always lock or unlock using the remote. It works most of the time, but every once and a while, it won't lock if I try to arm the alarm. Sitting in the car, I can see that the lock attempts to lock itself. It moves a little but doesn't move enough to actually lock. All the other doors work just like they should. Before I go and purchase an lock attenuator (or whatever they're called), I thought I'd check here and see what I could try checking first. Is there a way to clean the lock itself? Maybe due to it's age it just needs a good cleaning? Or maybe the connection isn't 100%? I know the old owner replaced the inside panel... so maybe he didn't properly connect everything and every once and a while the connection becomes loose causing my issue?
