I just had an idea to check em, since it seemed to be fueling so much. Used a long handle screwdriver, and it was clear as a bell. It was misfiring something crazy. And the best part about it, it was the front center one, very easy to get to :) Nut

Howdy again, After replacing various sensors.........it looks like it comes down to a faulty injector. It starts misfiring randomly. Replaced that, and all is well now. It's been a tough road but it looks like it finally is fixed. Maybe that will help someone else out. Nut

Howdy again, Well, here is a little update to the situation. The intake tubing came in so we installed it. It went two whole days before it started doing it again. I mean, when it starts running rough, you can smell gas 40 feet away, and it is smoking like crazy. Managed to get my hands on a spare air flow meter and put it on last night. Gonna run it for a few days and see if that fixes the problem. I will keep you guys updated, as this may help someone else out. Nut

Actually, yes it was. It was cracked in several places, so I siliconed it back together. Waiting on new aftermarket intake tube to come in, so I can see if that eliminates the problem. Also bought a manual off of eBay, to help me find where everything is located. I will keep everyone posted, and thanks for the replies! Nut

Howdy, I am about ready to go crazy trying to figure out what is wrong with my 1992 ES 300. Maybe someone with more knowledge than I have (not gonna be hard to find!!) can help me out here. Here is the story.... About a week ago the car starts to develop a really rough idle at times. Well, when it starts stumbling really bad, it smokes like crazy. But after you open it up a little, it quits doing it. Next time you might stop, it might be just fine.......no smoke, no rough idle. So, the check engine light comes on and I take it to Autozone. They say that it is the rear O2 sensor, and it needs replaced. So I buy one from them, a Bosch brand (universal), and install it in the rear manifold by the firewall. It clears nothing up, and is smoking ALL the time, but the check engine light isn't coming back on though. It only starts to smoke really bad, the longer you run it. And you can smell fuel everywhere, inside the car, behind car...... So, I go back and they tell me it could be the fuel filter..........lol, I am thinking "yeah, that's what it needs is MORE fuel!!!" So, I put a new one on there. Doesn't help (as suspected). So then, I go talk to a mechanic......and he says to check the coolant temp. sensor located by the thermostat. I might replace that today, but I am not driving the car, as I don't want to damage the engine with it flooding so bad. Anyone have any ideas on this one? I would appreciate any help you may give me. :) Michael
