  1. I had problems with missing, had it serviced they found a bad injector they replaced it with a reman, problem solved It ended up being the plugs wires....They were only 1 1/2 years old and still under warranty.
  2. still having issues.....It just runs good if I baby it but if I go half throttle or more it misses until the car gets to the speed I want and let off the pedal.. thinking of having a motor vav done. any ideas? come on pros
  3. UPDATE: changed the spark plugs in 1 hour 45 mins this time,not to bad IMO lol... now at idle its ok, seems smooth ,but at high rpms is cuts out and if I floor it, it will go but spudder, go a little faster, spudders ,then get a little faster. I had it at 110 but that was about all it had and I know before at 110 it was just starting to go. I'm now think something in the fuel system. again any advice would be nice. thanks
  4. I have a problem that all of a sudden came on,because I bragged about the car running great. lol I got in the car on a cold start and noticed it was missing when I put it in reverse,also in drive. Seems to be only on low rpms in gear. When I leave it in low 2 and get to 4500 rpms it smooths out. In netural also seems smooth at any rpm. its misses and studders the worst at stop lights. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated........ 92 ES300 auto tranny if that matters Also no check engine light at all.
  5. I changed the plugs and plug wires and it runs like a top again..... should I change the fuel filter? I got this car from a little ole lady with 75k miles and now it has 85k I don't think she ever did any maintence past 30k.. So far I've change the oil 4 times in 10k miles,had the tranny flushed,anti freeze flushed, plugs and wires changed last night "very tough job"....Timing belt,seals,and water pump soon.
  6. What would be symptoms of a belt that slipped or one thats going out? My problem is the car feels like it's running on 5 cylinders and is really shakey...It has rained here alot lately and i also wondered if something got wet..any ideas or help is appreciated thanks
  7. No it's not worth it in FL. ,but here in IL. yes It's well worth it. It's all up to you, if you like to let your car warm awhile maybe it's worth it.
  8. Will the rims and tires off a 99 GS300 fit my 92 ES300? Also will I need any spacers if they do fit>? heres the specs: 1999 GS300 Specs: 16X7.5 +50 mm offset Centerbore for the gs is 60.1mm I think these would look good on my 92 es300....thanks for any info
  9. I had the A/C sucked out and it had 1.74 in the system The A/C tech said It calls for 2.00 high and 1.8 low. Seems If I had a evaporator leak I would have alot less r12. I cleaned the windshield really well and noticed no oil or fogging for a week until I put on my defrost one rainy night. Could there still be some oil in the evaporator that could come through the vents when the heat is on? Also,would the heater core only leak with the heat on? This problem has me baffled and I don't have enough money just to drop it off at a shop. Any ideas or help is much appreciated.
  10. I've heard of this problem more than once...It's the expansion valve .Do a search on that .
  11. I found some really nice 17 " GS 430 rims and just wanna make sure they will fit without any issues.
  12. I have a 92 es that has a small leak in the evaporator and wonder if someone has a write up on what needs removed to get at the evaporator? any help is greatly appreciated.
  13. Has anyone had any heater coil problems? I was just wondering what the symtoms could be...thanks
  14. I just did this the other day in my 92 ES...It takes a little force and just the right angle.give it some force
  15. A oily residue would indicate a freon leak in your evaporator. How well is your ac cooling down? OR a leak in your heater coil. Is the floor on either side of the console damp? Is there a 'sweet' odor (other than air freshener, if used)? A leaky heater coil will leave a residue on the windshield. . . . that when you clean the glass, within a day or two, the residue returns. (And it's 'oily' too!) I've checked for moisture on the floor board and have never felt any wet spots...the A/C takes a bit to get cold but once it does,it's really cold. Also it seems to do it more when i step on the gas more than a slow take off. Could it be a A/C regulator valve?
  16. I recently bought a 92 ES with 74k miles. first problem is the windshield fogs up when I put the A/C on..I was wondering what this could be? It appears to leave residue behind also. Anyone know what might cause this? thanks
  17. I went today and took it for a drive.. Timing belt was done @ 100k, they only did tranny drain and fills They did'nt flush it. The motor was taken out for a replacement of some mount. She did'nt know exactly which one. The mustard color interior was not in the best of shape.Seems that the lady had a cat that like to scratch at leather. The motor seem to purr but, had a little oil here and there. I drove it for about 5-10 miles and just did'nt get a great feeling about it. I think I'm going to pass on this for a couple of reasons. The 7k she wants is too high for me. I feel 5k would be fair and I dont think I would buy it for that even. Thanks for your input and I guess I'll just keep trucking in the 94 maxima.
  18. My wife drives a 97 es and I recently found a 94 LS with 135k. I was wondering if there is certain things to look for? Is there a timing belt on the v8? She says she's the original owner of it and has all manitence records. I just want to know what to look out for when I look at this car. It's pearl white and seems to be well taken care of. Any advice would be helpful.... thanks Dan oh ya, she wants 7k but that seems a little steep to me
  19. 145,000.....timing belt @ 125,000....tranny flush@130,000 Runs Ohhhhh Sooooo Good!
  20. Just messing around today and came up with this.....<<<give it a try...http://www.wheelenvizio.com
  21. If you dont buy it,please let me know where it is because I'll buy it. $3500 with the timing belt just done seems almost to good to be true I'd snatch it up. D.W.
  22. If you decide to get another car I recommend looking at a 92-94 maxima se. Mine has 250,000 and I've only had to put an alt. and battery in it.
  23. First thing I'd do is get the parts from toyota to fix the car. Then, I would get a motor vac done"worked wonders on my ride". Third, if you wanna ride like a "big balla" it's gonna cost you some. Beauty hurts....at least that's what my wife says.
  24. Hi I have a 97 with 140k and I recently had a tranny flush done and IMO I think it made a bid difference. I also did'nt think our trannies had filters. I say if you have'nt drain and filled every 5 k I would go with the complete flush.
  25. Hi, My 97 es300 seems to be rising in the rear end a bit. I mean it's starting to look like it has air shocks that are pumped up. I have the AVS suspension and wonder if anyone has had or heard of this problem? thanks d.w.
