  1. My vote would go to JPImports as well, and I'm a 5-hour drive from them each-way.
  2. 5.9 quarts with a filter change.
  3. Was it running properly before the timing belt replacement?
  4. Wouldn't you simply disconnect the negative battery terminal for a few seconds, then reconnect?
  5. Was it OEM or from a parts house?
  6. Have a friend in Bend named Kevin Nolan.... Real estate appraiser.
  7. Put a low-output charger on both of them while stored. Battery Tender will not overcharge. Just be sure the battery is full of distilled water. I've left mine on this way for up to a year at a time. Just saying....
  8. Since a 1998 LS400 takes 5.9 quarts (with filter change), it would sound strange for the later model engine to take only 4.8. But, that's the total of my $.02 about knowledge of the 2002 LS430. Sorry.
  9. This may or may not help, but I would remove the negative battery cable for a few minutes and then reconnect. Just my $.02.
  10. Just my guess, but I think he is referring to the rubber gasket which surrounds the outer perimeter of the thermostat. Be sure the one you put in had this in place.
  11. Hi, tech3... Welcome aboard. I haven't had the same experience you describe, but have read of some generally similar problems from a bad O-ring on the gas cap. Have also seen references to replacing the gas cap to correct the problem. Just my #0.02. I notice you are in my favorite city, but don't see your year model in the profile. Helps to identify year and mileage.
  12. What country are you in? There was never a "tow package" available for any LS here in the USA although there was in many other countries. I doubt if any sort of "tow package" fan clutch would be available here. You may be right about the "tow package", but dpellet is right that there is the option when ordering a fan clutch. I encountered the same thing in March of this year.
  13. From reading on here, I believe you have just put on OEM. Try the Search function and see if GR-2 KYB is not the OEM strut for this car.
  14. The search function will probably direct you to the wiring under the left trunk hinge.
  15. Are you sure it's from the engine? May be tire noise... How many miles on your tires?
  16. Depends on what you decide to go with. I just bought Akabono pads and Brembo front rotors for about $260, as I recall...
  17. Sounds like you both have the classic symptoms of worn strut bar bushings... about $100 each side plus labor.
  18. Sounds like you have air in the system. Bleed the system.
  19. When you leave one sitting for that long with an effectively empty fuel tank, you're getting condensation in the tank... so you're now trying to burn water instead of gasoline.
  20. Dang, Landar... that's the one you recently did the TB/WP surgery on. That's a bummer, for sure. I used your write-up and photos last week doing mine, and it was an excellent presentation you gave to us. Many thanks.
  21. Reading these posts, I see no mention of cam or crank seals being changed, and they are not listed on the list of parts. Has anyone here with a 1998-2000 LS changed the seals?
  22. Before you spend that kind of money for a PS pump, better check the alternator for the source of the noise. I put the second PS pump on my '97 before discovering that was not the problem... was the alternator. Just my $.02.
  23. It will. As you said, it's just a boot.
