hi, i purchase a gs300 while ago, but it was overheating. change the thersmotat and it wont start now. what i did before that its conect the battery in the wrong polar conections but i did not cracked it. now the car just cracks but it will not start, i checked all the fuses but not luck they seems to be ok. dont know what else to check any suggestions or help, thanks guys or gals.

If you connected the battery backwards you probably fried something in the engine management/computer/electronics area of the wiring even though you did not crank the engine.

thanks. will check the ecu.

PARTING OUT MY LEXUS ES300. HAS NO ENGINE AND TAILLIGHTS ARE GONE ALLREADY. LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ANY PARTS FOR THIS CAR AT BEEMER2001@HOTMAIL.COM. THANKS.

rich smoke would be black smoke. maybe oil?

smell rich on gas. chech the oil and its fine, any other suggestions?

hello fellows, my sc300 smokes white smoke, smell like gasoline, at first i thopught it was the headhasket, but it does not overheat, then i found a o2 sensor was disconnected, i connected the sensor and the smoke reduce to clear and white. when its white smokes smell like gas, can anyone tell me what could it be? a friend of mine said the car is running rich, but i dont know, thanks in advance.

If it's a cold morning then you may see white smoke at start up which is OK. Other possible cause of white smoke would be leak in head gasket. Does the smoke smell sweet (like antifreeze) or rich (too much gas)?

Thi

it smokes all the time, not only in the morning. if there is al eak in the head gasket, wouldn't the engine overheat? will check what the smokes smells like, thanks.

es300_2.bmp

Found out its the main TPS sensor which is to the left of the other TPS sensor on the throttle body. Thanks

Are you certain that it's the TPS. I have same code and mine first coded out as the Ox sensor ( I think code 23 or 24). I then tried cleaning the MAF, thinking that it couldn't hurt but after re-assembly my car now has flat spots where the car just studders. Now it's the code 31 which is VAC or MAF. TRAC light and Check Engine stay on. I am getting a rebuilt MAF from Murrays Auto but I'ts very possible that the car also got other issues.

UPDATE: I replaced the MAF with one from Murray's and got rid of the studder. Still coding though. I think you may be on to something with the TPS for the TRAC. When I take off the TRAC my car seems to run stronger.

have the trac lihgt on along wiht the check engine, it dissapear a couple days ago for a day but came back, any suggestions what the problem could be?

It sounds like it's the water pump, it has a weep hole underneath the pump that's designed to leak once it's worn or damaged from debris or other garbage in the cooling system. This is a pretty intense repair, however it is doable if you have some skills and some important things need to be replaced while you're in there as well. $300 will probably only get you a waterpump and labor. It's a little over $1000 for parts and labor from a good shop to do everything that should be done if it hasn't been done before. You can check toyotaandlexus parts.com and irontoad.com for best prices. EBay has some stuff as well, check partsdinosaur on EBay for timing belt  and tensioner. If you need more info(pics, repair info) for $10 a day and alot of paper, you can download almost the entire service manual here

7) Loosen 4 nuts holding fan to fan pulley/water pump.

8)Remove Radiator and lift out( flush while out) Plug auto trans cooler hoses with bolt. Replace rubber parts of hoses if worn or cracked. Inspect radiator hoses as well, replace any that are bad.

Guy's Manual

I bought mine from this guy on Ebay and I have to say it is complete. BUT, and a BIG BUT, it's really just a pile of Adobe .pdf files all smashed together. If you have knowledge of Adobe .pdf software, it would be a good deal for you. But if you don't, you can read through them, but the info is hard to find. There is no index file, you just have to search for what you want.
