  2. Hello, selling brake caliper bolts for Ls460,Ls600hL. Front & rear caliper bolts, brand new in bags from dealer. $20 shipped in USA. I take Paypal.
  3. Hello all! I have a case of Toyota 0w20 synthetic motor oil for sale. 12 quarts for $80 shipped. Send me a PM if you want to buy. I use Paypal.
  4. The IS250 is a 4gr engine, has only direct injection. The IS350, and GS350 have the 2gr engine, has both direct and port injection, and the 2gr and 4 gr engine both have 1 cold start injector.
  5. gs460's are out for sale. Great car. I drove one yesterday and with a $58K price tag is worth it.
  6. Make sure the MAIN/2nd set switch isn't set to 2nd. It's under the glovebox, right where the r/f passenger can kick the switch with their feet.
  7. I have one if you want to buy it, send me a PM
  8. Sorry, the sales/F & I department makes the most money for ANY car dealership. I've work for many dealers over the last 20 years, and believe me the service department makes far less that the sales depatrment does. You sell 1 LS460L at sticker price, the dealer made $9200 profit on 1 car. Sell 1 extended warranty contract=$500-$1500 profit. Sell the car loan at a higher rate than what you really qualified for, they come back with a 7% rate, when you really qualified for a 6% rate=$1000 profit. That's about $11,700 profit without the holdback the owner gets! On 1 car! Service departments can't come close to those numbers.
  9. I have to disagree, no aftermarket parts for Lexus or Toyota are better than OEM. Maybe for domestic car lines. I have worked at a Lexus dealer for over 13 years and have seen aftermarket everything and it looks, works, and is worse thatn OEM. From bulbs to starters and sparkplugs, wires, etc,. OEM is the best, for Lexus/Toyota.
  10. •CD-R or CD-RW playback may not be possible in some instances, depending on the characteristics of the disc. ----This means the thickness of the burned cd can vary from a standard compact disc, it may get jammed in the changer. I've noticed the cheap cd-r's are way too thick and cause all types of problems. Buy quality cd-r blanks and you shouldn't have preoblems with the changer getting jammed.
  11. You are too much to fathom wwest. Nothing but mindless, endless chatter.
  12. The nav is self contained no extra parts? Where do you get this? It looks like you powered up the head unit and played a DVD. What about the nav ecu in the glove box? and the GPS antenna? Wire harness from the nav Ecu to the stereo amplifier and nav display?Are you including these for that price? It's not a drop in unit. There's a lot of things missing to make it work.
  13. All LS460's come filled from the factory with full synthetic oil.
  14. The sensor is damaged where it bolts to the body. Pulling the steering knuckle out of the way to remove the axle without unbolting the wire harness will stress the wire and break it inside the rubber outer shielding.
  15. The following changes have been made for the 2008 model year. 1. Destination Package The destination package for Taiwan has been discontinued. 2. Wheel The color number for 17-inch wheels has been changed from 11SV14 to 11SV25. The color number for 18-inch wheels has been changed from 11SV14 to 11CR08. 3. Interior The scuff plate illumination color has been changed from blue to white. The front seat backs have been changed to increase the rear seat passenger leg space. 4. Tire Pressure Warning System In the tire pressure warning system, the following items have been changed. Changed Item ’08 IS350/250 ’07 IS350/250 Time required for the tire pressure warning ECU to determine a malfunction in the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter 20 minutes 51 minutes The blinking of the tire pressure warning light between the registration of the ID code of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter and the normal operation of the system Turns ON after blinking for 1 minute - DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) The following DTC is added. • C2126/26: Transmitter ID not received in main mode - 5. Multiplex Communication System DTC B1248 (AVC-LAN communication impossible) has been discontinued. 6. Multi-information Display French has been added as a multi-information display language on models for Canada. French can be selected using the customize function. The following warning messages have been added for all models. Warning Detail Warning Detail Buzzer: Sound 07T0NF01C Key battery is low. (Models with A/T) Buzzer: Sound 07T0NF03C Key battery is low.

  16. If you don't have access to a datalist scantool, or don't want to pay for a diagnosis. Take the plug, and coil for another cylinder and swap them with #5. Check the resistance of the #5 wire. See if your misfire moves another cylinder. I have seen many porous heads leaking coolant around the plug #5 shorting it to ground. I have seen some bad coils also, they fire 2 cylinders each and one side fires but the other doesn't. Hopefully you don't have a porous head, since you'll have to replace it to fix the problem.
  17. On the transmission where the gear shift linkage bolts to the trans.
  18. No, you'll need a scantool that is high end. Toyota/Lexus, OTC, Snap-On types will have a reset function that only resets the trans side of the engine/trans ecu. A generic code reader/clearer won't do the job. Most dealers will reset it for you if that all you need done. It takes about 1-2 minutes.
  19. After the trans is replaced, the engine ecu must be reset using a scantool. Disconnecting the batttery will not erase the learned shift values completely, even if you unhook the battery for a week, it will not reset completely. A scan tool must be used to actually reset the values to begin relearning the new trans clearance and shift characteristics. Conservative driving habits with premium fuel will relearn within 400 miles. Regular fuel will take longer and actually increase the time delay between each upshift due to lack of the engine ecu's capability to use it's full range of ignition advance from the cheap gas. I know this for a fact as I've replaced at least 90 of these transaxles.
  20. When the knock sensors were replaced, was the ground harness by the pcv hose and behing the intake bolted back on? The one behing the intake near the engine removal hook is easy to leave unbolted and will cause hard shifting from the trans. The one by the pcv hose should be 2 wires held on by a 12mm nut on the side of the intake. The one behind the intake is a 2 wire held on by a 1omm bolt. Check these first.
  21. Here's the instructions for a 1995 model.Still the same procedure. You don't have to remove the abs/trac motors. A good set of 17mm wrenches should get around them to get the pressure hose off. I like to put the wrench on the line, by the lower radiator hose and use a long prybar against the subframe to break the line loose, if you can't get it off from the aircleaner area. Use a chisel and hammer and take off the control valve off the rack and pinion first to drain the system and clean the solenoid screen. here's the pdf powerste.pdf
