i would like to add if u do the rear valve cover seal, remove all wiring befroe pulling on the wirking harness that runns across it...

i was tellin you all my experince and asking what the sensor was... no it is not the o2, it is in the block..and i think it may be a oil pressuse sensor, maybe a knock, cause oil came out of it when i took it off,drained almost a quart before i noticed it....it is like near the timing cover...

white smolke on cold moring is normal, untill the exhaust warms up.

well, yesterday i decided to do a little over due maintance, so i, the day before went to a local part place and order the valve cover seal for the es and a motor mount for a 96 camry5 speed v6 with the 1mz. cause we could not fond a part number for the auto lex or auto camry. well after takin half the motor apart i got the valve cover seal in bout 2 hours, but i broke a sensor, i dont know what it was, it is located on the back side of the motor and toward the pass side, when i took it off oil flowed out of it. it too a 19mm wrech to get it off to, i soldered it for now but in due time will need a new one. then to the motor mount, i took the pass side tire off, unbolted the bracket cand couldnt get the old mount out, mine was so bad the center of it just fell out but the metal ring around it stayed and refused to move, i took a sawz-all to it and at 6 foot pry bar and beat it with a 5lb sledge and slowly got it out. it took me 6-7 hour counting breaks and lunch. and somehow i drained my powersteeering fluid.

) REMOVING THE SCREWS First, I removed the speaker cover to see where the screws for side view mirror was located. It was fairy easy to take out the covers, all i had to do was lift it upward with little force and came right out. I wasn't sure if this screw had to be removed to open the door panel but i did it anyway.. 2) PRYING OUT TRIMS I found it easier to pry out the trims using these spots without breaking anything.. I used a taped flat-head screw driver to pry out the trims so i won't scratch anything. The main screw to open the door panel is located under window switch panel. Once the trim is pryed out, disconnect all the plugs from switch panel. 3) OPENING DOOR PANEL / SNAP PLUGS After removing all the trims(door handle, switch panel), use some force to unplug the snap plugs. There are total 7 snap plugs holding the door panel and the door together. Try working from the sides or the bottom. I found easier to unplug these working from the sides first. . Once all these are out, slightly lift up the door panel and should come right out. all copied from thirdmotion

if u do but some d2r bulb and a set of h7 - d2r/d2s adaptors. i.e.Webpage grab some oem ballasts and your set.... dont buy cheap ebay kits..... inferior quality.

just remember 20 degrees out, lots of curves up and down hills, for about an hour and half, plus 6 in water hole = death... but given that this car can take a lot of abuse.

i must be a majic maker cause i broke my tranny a few years ago.......it was toasted... no gears work, nad now it seems every now and then when the car has been drove a while in o/d it dont wanna go in reverse.....but i guess i was to rough on it.......

sorry about that i forgot about this thread i will do so tomarrow. i couldnt find a part number, but it is one solid piece...i gotta go to the dealership. i can see if i can get a part number and a price

sorry about that i forgot about this thread i will do so tomarrow.

SK heres a question..my 98 manual says regarding the overhead console it can accomedate sunglasses but also shows a garage door opener...ive asked a few dealers about this only to get jerked around ...eg: no such thing why would the friggin owners manual show it.......any insight? my 97 has a coupe piece of velco and some square nobs in the overhead console but no sun glass holder.

r u puttin the cd's in lable down?

how would u look your keys in your car? u would have to tae your keys out of the ing. and sit them down then lock it. cause mine just unlocks a 4 door if the door is open and i hit the lock button.

does it come on as soon as u tocu the brake the first time or as soon as u turn on the lights?

green?"? are your headlights on? or the cruise light. that is the only two i can think of. if it is a circle with line areound it that means your headlights are on. znd it should be right next to the high beam light (blue).

stupid taco......it likes to eats cats two....i have gone through a converter about ecvery 6-9 months.....

my truck ran rich when i bolck off the egr and stuck 10kohm resiistor in its place....

yup headlight are easy to get out remove the black top piecce that covers the whole front. remove the corner and under the corner are two 10mm bolts and just one more 10mm bolt on top of the headlight and pull it out.

i like my monore senatrac's dont kow u should as long as ther is no rips. depends on your tools at hand and expertise http://www.turbotoyota.com/FSMs/1997%20Lex...20300%20FSM.zip try there

still debating..i could clean my iacv (the idle thing) will pick a a new flexi shaft.. i did think it was that hard, just checkin if there was any hidden stuff.

snip the pos wire on the relay run it your your park lights... bam your fog's now come on with your park lights and go off with them.... the only down side is if u leave the switch on when u un lock it your fogs flash with your parks lights, they still kick off with my high beams too.just like stock but i can run them with the park lights i like how that looks.. the relay is on the driver side above the kick panel...i can get pics if u need. there is a philips head scew in the lower outside that adjusts the up and down movement.

so the black is better...hum on a scale of 1 to 10 how hard is the rear one to fix.

the bore and bolt pattern are the same..... i have is300 wheels on mine currently.

i adjusted to ones on my 97 up some... but now with the headlights off, and just the driving lights on it is very dim.

should have no problem... if u wanted to get techinical depending on how your wires were cut. i could get away with out needing a wiring harness. bu that is something i would have to see...
