  1. so far from what you described it might be a lot of things, but first thing you check is the loose contact. unplug and plug the harness, check all wiring b4 sending anything anywhere.
  2. either myself or lexus of smithtown:)
  3. nesconset, i work at computer associates and i go to stony brook univercity so its very convenient for me, but i will not stay here longer than its required, place is dead!! (except parties in stony brook)
  4. i'm no longer in brooklyn, moved to LI few month ago:) LIE exit 58
  5. i called DMV and they said it takes at LEAST 10 days to issue a title for the out of state car that is registering in NY!!!! i was really *BLEEP*ed and upset and the person i was talkin to went ahead and issued the title immediately so i should be receiving it this week if its not gonna get stolen from my mailbox by my neighbors.
  6. ← of course its no fault(i read and write russian so i what was written on the page ) acutally this case made a precedent in russia since this went to court and judge ordered the company that supposed to take care of the snow on the root to pay 5000$ to the owner, i know its not going to help much to fix that lex but its definetly a precedent and a move towards a more honest judgmental system
  7. there is no centralized lexus dealership system in russia, some dealerships export them new and they cost mad money there due to the big taxations but mostly ppl just order the car through the used car dealers, who buy them here on auctions and then they ship them to russia this new LX would set you back in russia for at least 150$k
  8. WOW! that is awesome! i wonder how much would that cost me!
  9. 93 and up have different wiring and electronics from 90-92 LS dont even try. i changed instrument cluster on my friends accord v6 and i was really surpsised that even cars of the same year had completely different strucuture of the same part but in your case difference is much bigger due to the electronics
  10. lol whole car is around 3k and theywant to charge 2k? nonsense! i ased my mechanic he said he will charge 400 for the labor if i arrange to get the parts myself
  11. not really, never seen it, i gotta check it on mine next time i will drive on a highway
  12. i was thinking about 2 door accord top of the line fully loaded 2 door accor with navi and manual trannt is 28k
  13. i reregistered my car 2 month ago and i still didnt get a title should i get alarmed? can som1 claim my car as their ownif the title was stolen from the mailbox??
  14. nope, didnt have to replace the gascet on the legend, may b on cars with manual tranny engine does not work in the same patterns as it has to work on the cars with automatic trannies. the only part that was replaced in the engine was the crankshaft pulley which blew apart. i was not able to find a one for engine with manual tranny and i installed one from the engine with automatic one and they are balanced differently so now when engine idles i can feel slight vibrations.
  15. i found reviews on tirerack very very helpful, there a lot of reviews from Ls owners discussing perfomance in different weather. i dont buy from tirerack but i read revieews from them.
  16. i own a 1991 acura legend with manual tranny:) let me know if u have questions
  17. no it is lexus, they export them from US but mostly from canada since canadian models have liters and kilometers:) if you look closely you can see lexus sign on the grill.
  18. some things on that page are in russian but you will be able to grasp what happend to the car:) http://www.livejournal.com/users/ozimok/32...html?mode=reply

    Stalling

    yeah, this is not a very common problem on 1uzfe, lets see what switching colls will reveal.
  20. might be a lot of things, tell me more first, is the engine worm? is it during the whole time while you drive the car or only in the beginning? its definetly not the BELT and it does not have anything to do with your progressive power steering, does the noise increase with rpms or speed? let me know
  21. check ebay, shouldnt cost u more then 25$
  22. this is 100% ECM problem and it has been discussed, sometimes lexus replaces ECM but most of the time u have to find a replacement yourself. here is a link to the thread that discussed that http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...showtopic=15699
  23. what termostat does is switching contours for the coolant, when engine is cold coolant cycles just on the short countour and when engine is warmed up it switches to the regular contour, if it would be stuck in cold position the engine would overhear while if it would be stuck in the warm position engine would take much more time to warm up. Thermostat does not infuence temperature inside the cabin in any way. you prolly thinkgin about the heater core not the thermostat. i mean how much colder engine should get during the stops so you would acutally feel it? you would see that drop on the temp gauge then. i had the same problem in my car when during stops the openings on the dash would blow only cold air and the ones on the bottom still would blow hot air, the first thing to trouble shoot is the temp sensor inside the cabin, just put the temp to max hot and check if the problem would persist, if it will then check if cold air comes out from all the opening and not just the front one on the dash. openings next to ur feet are of a particular importance, compare the temp by hand with the dash openings. let me know o the results.
  24. i use denso iridium spark plugs and they seem to be running better, IMHO they should be better and last longer then the type suggested by the manual
  25. not that much , i know the engine block can sustain up to 700hp without any major mod but the problem is the space under the hood. check www.lextreme.com for the tips and how-tos about pimpiin up genI LS
