  1. Yes I am following that tutorial. My issue is that I don't want to bolt everything back together and then find out that I messed my timing up and then have to put everything back together. I wanted to know of the the essentials that are needed to run the car. I know I need my battery back on, my distributors and rotors and wires back on, and my ignition coil back on. I just wanted to see if there were any other parts that needed to be put back on to have the car start and run for like 2 seconds to make sure I have the timing right.
  2. I have a 93 ls400 and am midway in replacing my first timing belt and water pump. I just replaced my water pump and lined up my timing marks. Thing is that I want to test it before I put everything else back together. So what essentials are needed to start the car (i.e. what parts, plugs, etc.)?
  3. The quick issue: I have a '93 ls400. I reversed the polarity when trying to jump my car and then nothing would work. I checked and replaced the blown out fuses that I could easily take out and the 120 amp fuses that are sort of isolated. The car runs now and headlights and break lights come on and work properly. The problem is that my radio, inner lights, alarm, all door lock/unlock, trunk switch, adjustable steering column, adjustable mirrors, and back-light on the rear-view mirror do not work. Also, when i turn the car off and back on, my heat settings reset to the coldest temperature and floor only. I am hoping that I just missed a major fuse or something. Help? The long, descriptive issue: I have a '93 ls400. So I am an idiot and reversed my polarity when jumping my car assuming I knew exactly which was + and - in the dark. It was only on for like 2 seconds and then I realized it. Of coarse I blew some major fuses and nothing would turn on and the car would only start when attached to another battery. It would turn off in like 2 seconds when disconnected. So I checked and replaced the fuses that I knew how to (or looked up how to). Pretty much they were the 120 amp fuses that are isolated under the hood and all of the 15 amp and below fuses under the hood and the "kick panel" ones. So I got the car to start and maintain a charge, the headlights and brake-lights to turn on and work properly, and the power windows to work. The major problem is that nothing else works (radio, inner lights, alarm, all door lock/unlock, trunk switch, adjustable steering column, adjustable mirrors, and back-light on the rear-view mirror). I could not figure out how to check and replace the 30 amp fuses or any other one that does not simply come out besides the 120 amps fuses. I'm sure they are bolted down like the other ones and will be working on getting them out. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
