    This is a good read.

    Have you tried changing the IACV and making sure you have no vacuum leaks?
  3. sha4000
    It's worth a try and cheap enough to do if you know how to solder. Let us know what happens.

    The caps in your ecu might be bad and the junkyard one could also be bad. This seems to be a common issue with the early 400s as they age. Check this thread out and determine if this is the road you want to go down. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-1st-and-2nd-gen-1990-2000/656360-all-my-crazy-lexus-issues-solved-ecu-leaking-capacitor.html

    Definitely interference.

    Maybe your using a valet key which does not start the car. Can you post a pic?
  7. sha4000
    I doubt many cars have the updated ECU If you do try a junkyard make sure the part numbers match up.
  8. sha4000
    I did not think they would change mine either. The key is to call corporate first and get the approval. Then you can go into the dealership.

    Check out my thread on the code P0715. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-1st-and-2nd-gen-1990-2000/732312-lexus-gave-me-a-new-to-me-ecu.html

    Hopefully those work out and you report back with a success story.

    I think you got everything covered. You can change the PCV valve too if that has not been done but I think the knock sensors are the problem. Maybe they were disconnected when you went in the first time. I have yet to change them on my car and it has 240k on it. I seriously thought about it when I changed the starter though.

    Are you sure it's the rims and not the cluster itself? Did you remount the OEM rims to see if the the speedometer goes back to normal?
  13. sha4000
    I doubt your injectors are bad and I would also change the coolant temp sensor while your in there since it is such and inexpensive part. The knock sensors mess with the timing of the engine so they can definitely mess up the gas mileage though.

    Just inspect the harness for any damage in the connector and wire. I googled 2000 LS 400 knock sensor and came up with much cheaper alternatives which I would likely go with at this point in the cars life even though the denso from amazon is not that expensive IMO.

    Well it looks like the leak is coming from the boot on the rack and pinion. You can se the black accordion object which is the boot in the picture. Easiest thing to do is jack the car up on that side take the wheel off and inspect it. There is also a filter on that side which you will be able to clearly see.

    What do you mean by alignment? The intake has to be removed again to change the sensors, this is why you should change both of them. I've read where someone suggested you could go through the spaces on the side of the intake but I would not attempt it because I could have the whole intake removed in 30-40 minutes. This is likely the cause of your poor gas mileage.
  17. sha4000
    I would definitely replace BOTH knock sensors while your in there since it's throwing that code. What is all that soot inside of the intake? clean all that up and change the manifold gaskets as well as the coolant pipe gaskets. It looks like a very bad coolant leak which probably killed the knock sensors as well as the starter IMO. I would also test the connectors before I did any of that to make sure they are not damaged.

    This is the ls 400 forum but I'll try to help. I believe any 98-00 number should work since they are the same body style.

    This guy is the only person I would recommend. https://www.facebook.com/LScowboyLS/

    This is not the place to sell things and you don't have enough posts so your not even allowed to post a for sale thread.
  21. sha4000
    She does look good. I think you got a steal also.
  22. sha4000
    It's not the tires, your speedometer is most likely off.
  23. sha4000
    Glad to see that things are working out and your dedicated to seeing her running properly.
  24. sha4000
    The reservoir seems to be part of the fan shroud.
  25. sha4000
    Just find a wrecked car in the junk yard and scavenge any parts you need.
