  1. I replaced the OCV & when I fired it up it ran ok but idling way too fast, around 2500 & when it warmed up was still at 1500 rpm's, took it for a short drive & the cel with the 1354 code returned. I decided to try unhooking the battery so things could reset, let it set for about 30 mins, cranked it up & idle was perfect, drove it a short distance & the cel did not return, hopefully it's fixed now.
  2. Think I may just forget the whole thing, going on a 500 mile trip one way this weekend & thought I would give the Xm a shot but I can play my classic country cd's instead....LOL . Thanks a lot for the help guys, hope I can return the favor one day.
  3. I talked to 2 reps from Xm yesterday & both said they had to have the radio ID # & it will not show up on the display. They ask for the VIN & said they could find no record of it either. They both said take to Toyota dealer & see if they can help but I really don't want to do that.
  4. I am aware of how to find the ID # but it isn't showing on the screen when the radio is set to channel 000, & the Xm sat. worked when I first got the Land Cruiser. Thanks for the reply & trying to help.
  5. I am trying to activate the XM sat. radio in my 05 Land Cruiser which I think is the same as the LX 470 & can't get the radio ID# to show on the nav. display, does anyone have any possible solutions for this ? Thanks
  6. The 1354 code & the misfiring problem came back so I ordered the Dorman OCV from amazon for 1/2 price Advance & Autozone gets, should get it in couple of days, hope this is the problem. I will post the results.
  7. Thanks guys, let it run a while today while I changed the oil & filter in the wife's Land Cruiser & no acting up & no lights.
  8. Thanks Gene ! Interesting info there ! Update on my Lexus,I erased the codes Saturday & let it idle for about 20 minutes & ran perfect with no CEL's, then drove it about 20 miles & still running perfect & no lights on. The day it acted up it had sat a cpl of months & the battery was too weak to crank, had to hook up charger for a few minutes, I wonder if this had anything to do with the problem ?
  9. Thanks for the post but how do I get to the post ?
  10. My ES 300 has 123,000 miles, hadn't drove it since Christmas & ran fine then, today I started to drive it & the CEL light & VSC light came on & it has a rough idle, I pulled the code & it says code 1354, mfg. ignition control or a misfire, dosen't say which cylinder or bank, I can erase code & it will clear up & run better for a little while but the same problem returns. What should I look at first ? Thanks
  11. That sucker is jammed tight, I pried on it a little today but it won't budge & I really don't want to crack the trim so not sure what to try next...maybe just leave it alone.
  12. I'll give that a try, it was jammed when I bought the car about a year ago.
  13. LOL, I don't smoke, thats not why I want it to work, would be nice to have acess to the power plug for phone chargers, the GPS & such.
