  1. Hey guys! Long time reader of the forum, first time starting my own topic. I recently started throwing a CEL. Had the codes read at my local AutoZone and it ended up being random misfires on cylinders 1 and 3. I pulled the plugs and replaced them. It didn't fix my problem. I decided to move on to the ignition coils after my initial failure. The coilpack on cylinder 3 smelled really funky when I took it out to replace the spark plug, so I assume that is the cause of my misfiring condition. I am doing this work on a 1999 ES 300 with the VVTi motor. I ordered a new coil from Autozone and Denso P/N#: 90080-19016 arrived. I attempted to install the new coil and found that the original coil was a different part number. It is Denso P/N# 90919-02234. When trying to insert the new coil, I found the diameter of the plastic portion which extends from the coil down to the plug (boot?) is actually too large in diameter to fit down the hole in the head. Initially I thought Autozone sent me the incorrect part, but after a bit of research on trademotion.com, it turns out my original coil is now supersceded by the part which I received. I'm in a jam. Any help? Does the part I need actually exist?
  2. Hey guys! New Lexus owner here as of about a month ago... I've just been reading and soaking everything in about the car. I really didn't have a need to post until about a week ago. It seems that one of my close friends accidentally ripped the leather on my rear passenger side interior door card. I'm really bummed about the whole thing, as I haven't even had the car a full month yet and the interior was basically flawless. It is a '99 Coach Edition. It seems everywhere I look, I cannot find a new panel. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I could source one or maybe a method of fixing it other than those tacky liquid leather fix-it kits? They never seem to work correctly from what I've read.... I've got an ad in the For Sale section and I've checked most local wreckers.... haven't come up with anything yet. Do I have any other options? Could I take the car to a local upholstery shop (with a good repuation, of course) and possibly have them replace the leather on the panel? Any suggestions would be great and I'm happy to be a part of the "club"
