    its a 1993 lexus ls400 . i finally filled the tank up for the first time @ $2.75 a gallon . when i turned the car on , the needle only went up a little over half . so the problem isnt the needle right ? would it be the level thing in the gas tank ?

    okay . i finally made a decision to replace my air suspension setup with Strutmasters strut/spring combo with the 1.5" drop for $950 . but while the suspension is off the car , what else should i be looking to change ? Daizan control arm bushings ? strut bar bushing ?

    in the manul on page 26 for a 1993 lexus ls400 , it says that the fuel gauge is a non-return type needle which remains at the last indicated position when the ignition switch is turned off . but everytime i my ignition switch is turned off , the needle goes all the way down . could anyone help me out with this situation ? thanks

    okay , im sorry for asking this question again .. but everytime i ask people tell me to replace with new air struts or with "strutmaster " which keeps stock height . the thing i want to do is remove the airbag suspension and install an aftermarket lowering suspension setup . both springs and struts . like tein coilovers . or eibach with kyb . has anyone have experiences with this ? thanks

    i dont think its the catalytic convertor cause i passed inspection . but i do know that one of the calipers is like stuck . my friend was trying to pry it out so that it could move back and forth when applying the brakes but all it does is stay like in a locked position . but not on the rotor . like away from the rotor . could that be it ?

    i had it for about 2 monthes already . at first i was hoping that it was the oxygen sensor since it was throwing a code . replaced it . nothing . then did the air filter which was reallly reallly dirty . words cant describe how bad it was . and i swore that i got 20 mpg . but i might have calculated wrong . but i just calculated again and i think its still doing 10 mpg.

    i have a 1993 lexus ls400 and it has about 155,000 miles on it . i changed both front o2 sensors and air filter . and i only get 10 miles per galllon . is there anything else i could do to try to improve my gas mileage . if it stays like this i might as well get a SUV . i am planning on changing the fuel filter and pcv valve . would that help ?

    i have a 1993 lexus ls400 with air bag suspension . and everytime and whenever the suspension moves from hitting a bump or anything , it makes like a rubber noise . is this the airbag ? is there anyway i can like lubricate the bag so that it doesnt make that noise ? to give it more flex i guess . any imput ? thanks
