oil control valve fix them all (1349)

it was P1354 faulty oil control valve

hi all i have 99 es300 155k and i need your opinion! few month a go changed oxygen sensors bank1 bank2 and Camshaft timing oil control valve. did tune up 2 years a go. i always use 5w30 synthetic oil check engine light use to come only at hwy speed and disappeared shortly now I'm stuck with 6 codes 1153, 0100, 0110, 1349, 0505, 0420 last night engine had trouble to idle normally, hood was vibrating. its harder to brake in that case there is very small crack on air intake hose! can it be responsible to all this? im thinking of putting glue on hose, clean MAF sensor and IAC valve will reset battery and see if it triggers again my catalyst really rattles a lot but that's expensive part <_< P.S this is good site to look up part, diagram looks just like the dealers have. http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/g_U_1999_LEXU...20L-BTPGKA.html

it was bad battery :) sorry for misspelled title!

i have 99 ES300 when i start the car, electricity dims in whole car in dashboard and headlights, it does almost every day. when i accelerate transmission hesitates and car starts jumping. makes weird humming buzzing noise comes and goes under the glove compartment like there is a short. i don't think something wrong with engine cause tachometer doesn't drop! but i don't know. ones car died on me on road, i took it to local autozone and they tested alternator and said battery was not tide. but problems still comes back. please give me some ideas what should i look for

battery clamp was loose! thanks.

please help me to diagnose this problem. after heavy rainy day 99 ES300 doesn't start. battery is OK. starter doesn't crank, dashboard lights up and then dies when i turn key to start mode or if i put headlights on. also i hear tik tik tik noise from glove compartment similar to relay switching what should i check or replace? this is best car i owned! driving over 4 years, didn't had any problems at all.

I also cleaned the Idle Air Control Valve.

Have you had such problems? First it started when I was accelerating from zero it was jerking, when stopped and gear is still in D, rpm kicks itself like it wants’ to take off with out pressing the gas pedal. It’s hard to brake. Symptoms come and go every 5 ~ 20 seconds when engine is hot. Sometimes when I press gas pedal engine idles on that level, usually 2.5, 3 rpm for couple of seconds, also I have experienced enormous power pressure loss every few sec when I drive on a highway. Engine light flashes and transmission doesn’t change to 3rd gear. I did disconnect battery few times to clear codes, I learned it works ok until light comes back usually 15 minute. OBD Codes are P0300, P0302, P0304, P0306, P1354 I had tune up done but it didn’t help. Guy in AutoZone tells me timing belt could be misplaced but I had T.B. changed 15,000 mails ago. Bottom line is I took it to local shop and they didn’t find any possible cause, last thing they're going to replace ECU and see whats gonna happen.
