  1. Now that I replaced the Fuel Filter and most of the problem of Cold Miss under light acceleration is cured, I want to check out the Coolant Temperature sensor. Thanks in Advance Tom
  2. Always started fine. Ran Fine when warmed up. Had a sporatic miss during mild acceleration when cold, during the first 2-3 miles. Replaced plugs, wires cap & rotor which did improve the warm idle. I am going to pull the EGR valve next for a goood cleaning. 1997 LX450 78,000 miles
  3. Well, Just replaced the Fuel Filter. It is attached to the Underside of the Intake Manifold. Two bolts with 12mm Heads hold it secure to the Intake manifols and two Banjo Bolts with 17mm heads attach the fuel lines. I fould that removing the front left tire and lifting the inspection flaps were a Big Help in geting access. Took about 2 hours and 47 Prohibited words. Live and learn. Tom
  4. Would really appreciate the actual location. I searched around the Gas Tank but found nothing. Looked along the fuel lines and nothing again. Is it mounted up on the fuel rail??? Thanks in Advance. Tom
  5. Only when first started in the morning. For the first mile, the engine will sporatically miss while under light acceleration. Anyone had this fixed, what was it?? Thanks in Advance Tom 1997 LX450 77,444 miles
  6. Well, I'm finally tired of the Wuss Looking front of my 97 LX450. I have seen many Grill Guards on eBay but want recommendations of ones that fellow board members have. Thanks Tom
  7. Mine did this when I first bought it. with 70K on the clock I proceeded to diagnose that the ATF was SPENT, it wasn't burnt, just dark fluid with no smell. So, I would dump the contents of the pan and replace with 4 qts about every 3 weeks. Yes, I know it is only suppose to be 2 or 2.5 qts but mine does 4. After the 6th drain and refill the ATF began to drain out with the smell of ATF, it is still somewhat dark and will require about 4 more dumps before I get to the point where I dump it at every oil change. Also, the very minute leak has gone away as the seals are swelling back to normal size. I am on my 3rd case of Mobil generic DIII fluid from COSTCO and will probably keep using the stuff. The Spool Up problem is gone now.
  8. Living in Doylestown PA Car spent the first 5 years in Boston That is part of the problem Where are you from?? Tom
  9. For some reason, I think that the Steeing Wheel from a LS400 also Fits a LX450 of the same year. Has anyone done this to a 1997 LX450. Thanks in Advance Tom
  10. I was going to repaint them, but the Chrome ones at Pep Boys look Really Good. Has anyone else done anything about this. This is somewhat of a Follow Up to the Hub Cap Painting Project from a Few Weeks Back. Tom
  11. I really am disappointed on how many of the esterior screws on my car are getting rusty. I started out with a Box each of Hex Head M8 / M6 / Washers / Lock Washers / M6 Oval Heads. I am trying to circumnavigate problems down the road when repair becomes a necessity. Has anyone else noticed the amount of Rust on these Vehicles. Body Looks Good, Everything else needs Repainting. Tom
  12. of what this looks like on a LX450?? Is it really worth the $ 20 Thanks Tom
  13. I really haven't looked for one yet, but do I have an air filter on the interior Heating and Cooling System. Thanks Tom
  14. With the Blower on Low it just goes bip clip blip. With the Blower on High it really makes a racket. So, should I pull out the CD Drive and look for screws. Tom
  15. Compared to other cars, my 1997 LX450 is like getting into a Candle Lit room. The front light, which isn't controlled by the door switches, is brighter. I would like to hear if anyone has added lighting to improve this. Tom
