  1. I installed the idler pulley. But I am not sure i installed it correctly. Can someone verify if my drawing is correct?

    Top side: Bolt -- washer -- pulley --> engine.

    Or the pulley is upside down?

    My problem is when I shake the pulley, I feel like there is something wrong with its bearing.

    Your diagram is correct,the side from where you drift out the old bearing faces the engine.

  2. The Torx bolts you are attempting to remove actually hold the 2 parts of the piston chambers together and should never be removed.

    As Johnny 123 mentions the calipers are actually secured to the carrier bracket with 2 17mm bolts,one top one bottom.

    It is slightly worrying that you are working on a car's braking system without a manual, a reasonable knowledge of vehicle repair techniques,parts description and without the correct tools.

    Why are you replacing the caliper? Do you know how to bleed a braking system? Do you know which type of grease to use and where to put it?

    If the answer to the last 2 questions is no, take it to someone who does and pay them to do it :)

    I hope the car is not supported just on the factory jack or a pile of house bricks.

  3. C6 is the only one located in the backlight invertor area, I have seen this particular capacitor with a bulging shell indicating overheating/high ESR.

    No guarantees it will fix the problem but worth replacing to see for a few cents, just make sure you buy a branded make with a 105 degree rating.

  4. I cannot locate the C 212 cap or the C 147 and 142 caps on my 91' LS400. ALL MY NUMBERS ARE 2 DIGITS, AND i SEE NO THREE DIGIT NUMBERS. dOES ANYONE HAVE PICTURES OR KNOW WHY i AM HAVING THIS PROBLEM?

    Because this topic relates to the 93-94 cluster problems not the 90-92 :)

    On the 90-91 cluster check out C6 220UF/25V on the top PCB,it is located just above the white 3 plug (CNU) and between the 2 transformers

  5. 1) Check wheel balance.

    2) Also consider Sewell/Park Lane Lexus for discounted parts.

    3) Also replace water pump while changing cam belt and cam seals.

    4)Check all suspension components but only replace what needs doing, bushing kits are available instead of replacing the whole component.

  6. I purchased a 10m roll of the trim and got the body shop who did the repairs to fit it.

    I did replace the trim on another LS400 myself and after removing the old trim I wiped the channel with iso alcohol to remove any remaining adhesive then warmed the trim with a hairdrier to make it more pliable.

    Started at one end and worked around the bumper peeling the backing off as I went, trimmed the ends and job done.

  7. Seriously?

    The chrome trim? yes when my 1994 was accident damaged the cracked bumper was repaired and I bought a roll of the chrome trim as mentioned, the only difference is the OEM part has 2 black plastic ends on it but you cannot tell without close inspection.

    Before and after pictures.

  8. As you mention the EFI relay pull in coil is supplied with 12 volts from pin 13 of the engine ECU so you need to check for this with the ignition on at that pin on the ECU then if present check for the same voltage at pin 1 of the EFI relay, no voltage here would indicate a break in the wiring between the 2 points.

    If the 12 volts is present on pin 1 then check if pin 3 of the EFI relay is connected to ground as if the ground is not connected the circuit will not be completed and the relay will not operate.
