I've been quoted 350 by toyota to fix my speed sensor. If i buy the part for 190, can I install it myself?!? Thanks in advance I would suggest removing/cleaning/re-adjusting the speed sensor gap first. Metal filings, "fines" covering the sensor tip can be a problem as would poor electrical connections. The sensor itself rarely fails. any tips to remove this wheel sensor

hello, i tried to clean it, but couldnt even remove it! What tool is best to remove it? any tips! I've been quoted 350 by toyota to fix my speed sensor.

Heck yeah! I got Both and Acura , and a Lexus! Best of Both Worlds Baby!!

You Must Need Some Motivation, Get the LEXUS

Everyone is correct, the ABS sensor needs to be pressed out and replaced. Its out of wack!!! Toyota quoted me 600 bucks after an 89 buck diagnostic fee, i chose to keep driving it and get it fixed later, its now 7 months later, still driving with the lights on!!

That wont work, i tried to use Line-Out Converters (LOC) but was unable to get it to work! Best thing to do is switch stereos and use a harness! with Line Out Jacks for the Amp. The factory amp does not have enuf wattage to push anything but the factory speakers, they are finely tuned.

I hadnt replaced it yet! I hear that I cant install it myself even if i buy one! I hear that it has to be pressed out of the Hub! Let me know if you know something i dont, Dealer quoted me 450 dollars Did you get a new sensor?? I need one but I do not want to pay $200+ for it!! May go to a junk yard.

Sorry im just going thru 2 quarts a day, and tearing up the parking lot Easy trigger, Someone will post with the info you seek. Sometimes it takes a little while to get a response. http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showuser=744 should be able to help you out on this matter.

All, Do i need a torque wrench or something, cause i tightened as tight as i could, didnt want to strip the bolt!? any comment will be greatly appreciated

i need ed to drain the dirty fluid, on my 97 es300 so i removed a screw with a hose on it to fix it , yes the fluid came running out of the pump and the resevoir, but now no matter how hard i tighnten this #4 screw, it leaks from that screw, ive tried 2 washers and everything. Thanks for any advice!

another question, if I may, LOL, the spark plug rings, they dont fit in the holes of the valve cover! Do iwrap them around the spark plug housings or do I keep trying to pry them into the valve cover? does the opening of the rings face up or down?!

supposedly im on my back beneath the hub, head is towards the front of the car with a long object, with this leverage scenario, would i be pushing or pulling? or do i do it the other way, im going to do it at the crack of dawn! Thanks for responding so quickly, may god bless u!! meanig do i push it towards the bak of vehicle, or pull it towards the front?

i have a 97 es300 , i replaced the power steering belt, by going through the wheel well. i took a chance by lossening up a visible screw, it worked and slid relieving the tension.. i replaced yhe belt but cant get that screw to move again! was that the power steering thingy i moved, i pressed and pulled at everything. should i just tighten the screw "as is"? the belt seems tight, with little slack. Quick responses will be greatly appeciated, car is still apart, and i have curch tomorrow, the work monday, LOL. E-Z fix gone wrong! thanx in advance

Hello All, I have a 97 es300 and i have the front valve cover gasket off, im thinking about tackling the rear but I wanna know if i put the front back on today, and attempt the back tomorrow will i have to take the front off again?! Thanks in advance!?

Dont they come in sets @ 10.00 each = $20.00 or more if they come with plug rings! What are the plug rings good for!?

Hello, Im doing a bolth valve gaskets this weekend, and one store told me Left and Right gaskets, the other told me both top and rear are the same gasket! Which should I go with? Thanks in advanced

I read it, it doesnt address the ABS sensor, i also did a search, couldnt find anything! Thanks

Hello, How do i change the abs sensor, i didnt see a DIY in the search!? Is this a dealer only part or could i change it!? Where can i get one, i couldnt find it on Rockauto.com, help please!!

Could it be the Abs sensor or the speed sensor? What it is called?! How do i confirm this without aqn obd 2 reader?!!!!!!!!!! Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Room, I have a 97 es300 and i let my friend help me replace the rear struts according to the DIY directions i found on this site. Everything went well, until I went to test drive it! The ABS light came on :cries: , and the trac off light started blinking. , I feel so bad, I hurt my baby. Could somebody please tell me what i did wrong or what the problem could be? I took it to autozone and used the OBDII scanner , which told me no faults detected!! Please let me know what I may have done wrong!?! Thanks in advanced!! Coley

advanced auto parts and auto zone has the kits

Wow, I 've only changed 20 , and I ve never had a problem with the threads! You said the dealers gave up?! Replace the whole manifold, thats crazy!! Good Luck i guess the 40 or 50 of these i've changed so far, on all toyota v6 engines, were just put in extra tight. stripped, imo, is a different deal. stripped to me, means that someone cross-threaded the part in. this isn't the case here. this is a case of a part being threaded in for a long time, in a hot environment, causing the 2 parts to slightly "bond" together. when this happens its inevitable that it will pull some threads out with it. another piece of advice... since its bad and you're changing it anyway, just cut the wire and put a regular 1/2 inch drive impact socket on it. make sure to use an impact socket because a regular "chrome" socket might crack and that would really hurt. as for rethreading it, you can buy a re-threader from Lisle (sp?) tools. i've also had very good luck using a pipe threader, just make sure you get the right size. most do take part of the threads out with them. i should add that i've successfully replaced many of these after the local toyota and lexus dealers gave up. they want to replace the entire exhaust manifold, which is very expensive. i've yet to have to replace a manifold. good luck.

those things arent changed rarely! Get on back under the car, Face up, grip it and turn that that screw, if u can try the liquid wrench, if u can tget it , u will have to pay someone! I try and learned to do things myself , if i cant do it, pay someone else! Pull i t right with all your might, or else pay the money for this simple job. good luck!!

just put it over the wire and O2 sensor and twist that dman thing towards the passenger wheel (right), wont need to rethread if it aint stripped after u done with it- easy job "righty tighty, lefty loosey."
