PPOIII

1991 LX400. I have posted this problem before. I have checked all fuses circuit breakers,and yes the ones under the hood. I know this car is notorius for shorting out at the front power point which is on his same circuit. Supposedly just loose change in the ash tray has shorted out this circuit. I have exhausted all my knowledge and cant afford to get the mmanuals. So I am about to drive 300 miles to see a friend who is a wizard at this stuff, and also my old Lexus Mechanic has his own shop in Conroe Tx. So I have a trouble shotter at my disposable. Any of my Lexus friends out there know anyore ideas? Before I make a 600 mile trip. I need this car fixed and fast. My wife is going to have to have to drive this car and soon. But not without heat, air radio, mirrors etc. MAYDAY Paul Ontiveros

Steve I tried to reset the breakers with no sucsess. I think I am screwed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok Lexus pals. Here is my next problem on my 91 LS 400. My side mirrors,radio, AC are out. I know its all on the same fuse. I have tested the fuse. It is hot on both sides which means the problem is beyond the fuse box. Has anyone out there traced down a short in the dash like this before? If so how hard is it? Come on Andy what do you think? You are batting a 1000 so far! Thanks, Paul

Andy well you have been just about dead on. Turns out there was alot of gas in the tank. I pulled the rear cap off the tank and it was over half full. There is a float that we tapped a bit an reinstalled and my gauge came back up to about 3/4 after filling the tank. Now the idle problem was the idle air control motor. Just a coincidence it was dying after fueling. I took it apart cleaned it up now its running perfect. Now I have a problem with my radio air and mirrors not working . There is one fuse for this, but it is hot. So now I have no idea where the problem is. What do you think? Thanks, Paul

Ok I am not getting many answers on my fuel tank problem. Is there anyone who can tell me where the fuel tank canister vent is located? I'm almost sure this is my problem and I a hoping I dont have to drop the fuel tank itself to get to it. Thanks. Paul

You mean you cant even fill it full if you slowly pump gas into the tank? Nope we have tried everything. Pumping slow, turning the handle around. You cant fill it up. Then it dies after fueling and the gas gauge is not accurate.

I have a 91 Lexus LS400. It will only hold about 6-8 gallons. It will often stop running at idle after putting fuel in it. And lately it burbed a ton of fuel out when my wife went to fill up. I think it is a vent valve problem. My qustion how do you drop the tank on this car and get to the vent valve. PLEASE HELP Manuals are 186-200 bucks. I can do the repairs just need to have good material or instructions. Thanks Paul.
