Did you ever hook up the car to an oscilloscope? All you did was change parts and hoped that your problem was cured. At least that's what I get from your post. Did you take it to a shop to diagnose the problem. I find it hard to believe that a competent Tech would not be able to identify a miss.

Probably better off finding one in a pick and pull and cutting it.

n00b questions - just bought used

Sorry to hear about your issues but who supposedly did the pre-inspection on this vehicle? Maybe the fixes are simple and maybe they are not. I would take it to a lexus dealership and pay the $130 for a proper diagnosis if the web is no help. Try this forum also to get quick answers to your questions. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-4th-gen-2007-2017-178/ -
As long as the bolt pattern is the same they will most likely fit but there is more to wheels fitting besides the bolt pattern. It's best to test for a wheel first if you can.

The cup holders have always been a weak point for me over the years.

What year is it? I believe you have to remove the no. 3 timing cover.

Did you clean out the drains in back of the sunroof? A bad seal is easy to diagnose. Just pour water over the sunroof and seal if it leaks.

I have KYB-GR2s and they ride close to stock but not as soft as stock. I recommend getting those. ALL the suspension and steering components need attention on cars this old. If you have the money and are inclined I suggest you get it done.

I would use them since techs always forget to replace them whenever they take the covers off. I also need to buy some since I made the same mistake when trying to take those covers off the wifes car.

Are you sure that's the right part number? it comes back for a seat cushion and not an airbag sensor which seems to be readily available.

You just have to push the middle of the clip down that unlocks it.

Plenty of ppl complain about they way Lexus deals with some of their customers. They are right to tell you that the car is not safe to drive with this airbag issue since there is a chance that it could accidentally discharge or worse not discharge at all in case of an accident. My issue is that they don't have parts available for a 10 year old car. Have you contacted Corporate or have you been dealing with a particular dealership?

Welcome to the club Jeff.

Glad you got it fixed before it got really cold. A true DIYer.

Personally I would find a seller with more feedback, this seller does not seem to have any. That's pretty cheap considering how much the OEM parts cost but at this stage in the cars life I would definitely go aftermarket for parts.

Find a junkyard car.

Yes it does have an air filter and if you follow that tutorial you will be able to change it.

#2 Fuse box location in my 1998 ls400

It's under the drivers footwell. -
Your best bet is to find some decent ones out of a car in the junk yard. I doubt that they are still making seatbelts for your car. http://www.car-part.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi

The 93 has pretty small calipers so you should not have a problem finding rims that will fit. It's the 95-00 LS that has this bigger front calipers.

Easy 93-94 Ls400 $3.00 Cluster Flicker And Gas Needle Fix

Those links are no good since the thread is over 7 years old. Just google the thread title and you can find the fix on the web. -
There should be no tension on the belt until it is on and even then it can be difficult to get the belt on sometimes. What TB guide are you using?

Speed sensor is located on the passenger side hub. -
I've never heard the brake booster hissing.
