What is the name of the speedometer repair shop in Florida?

What is the temp range to check the ATF in my '09 RX350?  I have the Scangauge.

Doesn’t work.  The top is too large as it hits the arm rest.  

I just need the stock air cleaner box for a 2001 IS-300. The 2 pieces that the actual air cleaner sits in and the MAP or MAF ( I don't know which is which) screws into.

I know how to program my remote. I've done it successfully several times. However, my garage door remote abruptly quit working on both of our garage doors. I just tried to clear the codes in the car to reset and when I push and hold the button in for 25 seconds, no red light comes on. No matter which of the 3 buttons I push and hold I can never get the little red light to blink. Any suggestions?

What is the procedure for checking the timing on a 1998 LS400?

My '01 IS300 sucks under acceleration. Cleaned MAP, Throttle body, changed plugs. Took my finger and twisted the accelerator cable to simulate a wipe open throttle. The butterfly valve only went about half way. This would explain the poor acceleration under full throttle. Now, how do I fix this?

Diagrams of the brake components can be viewed at http://www.lexuspartsnow.com/

I prefer to view similar diagrams at http://www.toyodiy.com/ but there you have to register and it can take several days before access is granted.

THANKS!

Years ago, I had a "friend" change my brake pads and they have squealed and "ticked" ever since he did them. I am thinking all my parts did not get installed, let alone any anti squeal added to shims. I am gonna redo them now on my '98 LS400 but am not sure how I would know if pieces are missing. You know, shims, wear indicators, etc. Does anyone have a picture or diagram that will show me all the parts associated with my pads?

Where can i buy Japanese made engine and cabin air filters?

DID you ever get an answer? My 2002 does the exact same thing and nobody seems to acknowledge its an issue. My wife is wrapped in a blanket and me without a shirt and wiping sweat off my head inside my LX with an inside temp set at AUTO 70 and the outside temp at 20. Of course when she drives it does get more interesting ;)

How do I check PPS and TPS?

With an ohmmeter after disconnecting them.

PPS: Resistance between terminals VC and E2 should be 1.64 - 3.28 kilohms at 20° C (68° F)

TPS: Resistance between terminals VC and E2 should be 1.25 - 2.35 kilohms at 20° C (68° F)

OK. Where is the PPS and the TPS? I can do the ohms.

Your car has been doing this for eight years and you have never had the problem diagnosed? :whistles:

I might start at the accelerator pedal and have the PPS and TPS checked.

Yeah, I didn't know any different 8 years ago and I have just gotten used to it. It's only when someone else is with me do I "notice" it. How do I check PPS and TPS?

OK, I've had my '98 since '01. Best Car I have ever had! One issue I have always dealt with is this. When I start out from a complete stop, I mash the accelerator and not matter how I try, it will jerk the car. It seem I can't depress the pedal gently enough to get a smooth takeoff. My Daughter's IS300-no problem. My Wife's GS300-no problem. My LX470-no problem. My LS400 will jerk your neck it's is so bad. Any ideas?

Is the height at your front and rear fender wells the same? Or is the front lower? Should they be the same?

In the "N" position, what is your height at front and rear? Somebody made some adjustments on my Torsion Bars and I need to know what you guys/gals with a standard setup (no suspension mods) measure. You can measure from edge of wheel, center of wheel, ground, etc to the bottom of the fender well. As long as I know where you measured from...

A short follow up: The aftermarket manufacturer has stepped up to the plate and is going to replace my accumulator spheres! I applaud this turn of events and my confidence in this manufacturer is restored. He explains that there was a problem with the supplied raw elastomeric material that affected not only him but Lexus parts as well. I'm told that the problem has been corrected and he stands behind his product. I will install the replacements and restart the clock. I will be back with updates, good or bad, as time goes by.

That's Great! Maybe I can go that route and not worry...

I walked. He has reduced his price $1000. Thanks for your help! I found another one and am picking it up Monday.

I need the latest NAV upgrade for my just purchased 2002 LX470. Ebay is bad, and dealerships are very expensive. What do you recommend? Any deals out there that work?

I got the wrong information. I need the Rear View Mirror for a '00 GS 300. Sorry :( It was past my bedtime when I was posting. I should have waited til I got home.

Plus this is the LS forum ! lol :D

I have a LS, GS, IS, 4Runner and am in my Tundra. I thought my wife was talking about the LS. On the road again...can't wait to get on the road again....

I sent a note to Moderators to move and change topic.

Any place easy to find Rear View Mirror for '00 GS 300?

Nic,

Thanks for input. I just sold my Tundra and am ready to get it on. I don't think the tranny has been changed and I can do that. My only real concern is that the owner told me they replaced the bulbs for the passenger side running board but that didn't fix it. He said I would have to replace the entire running board. Hmmm....Big bucks I'm figuring.

I am looking at purchasing a white 2002 LX470 with 95,000 miles. I noticed 4 things as I tested it out. First of all, it doesn't shift near as smooth as my '98 LS400. It shifts harder with a "little" bump. The "D" is burned out in the dash. Some of the clear coat is peeling off the top of the front bumper (about 1 square inch area). Lastly, the strip lights that are supposed to come on in the passenger side footboard are burned out.

Should I run or not? Cost to fix?

Thanks, Gary

I ordered a key Feb 19th for my GS-300. $47 delivered. Finally got it March 6th. Didn't work. Called Tami Calhoun probably 5 times. Sent 7 emails. No response. No return calls, no return emails. I really got concerned when I called the number beside the charge on my VISA and I got some guy in Florida. He blew me off and said it happens all the time where people call him looking for keys and other issues but he had nothing to do with Tami's company. ??????? I called Visa and they informed me I had been charged $47 a second time which I did not authorize. I had to cancel my credit card for fear of more and more unauthorized charges.

Apparently, according to Visa, this is not a cut and dried case. I still have not received credit for anything and it has been a month in dispute. Since I charged it on a business card, they have to pay the merchant and we have to work out the refund afterwards. They don't treat personal cards like they do business cards.

I don't want to see any body else get burned like I have been. And by the way, Tami Calhoun actually signed my return receipt from the Post Office???

Sewell did me right.
