Ok, sweetsuccess, are you a " buy it and drive it " person, or "make it your own" enthusiast?

You can pull the 02 sensors from the catalyst and clean those with some parts cleaner. You'll se 2 of them. Those are the 2 sensors that are throing the cel up now. It's propbably read gas leakage into the exhaust and that is why your getting the cel.

the little hose you have on the engine in your picture number 7 with the red arrow that points to it. That hose I beleive goes to the air box, and not to the metal hose looking connector. Both of the black metal hose connectors on each side of the cam box have nothing attached to them.They are just there and left open.

UUmmm, your lucky I like you... :)

Yeah, try cleaning the sensors and then reset the ECU to clear the codes and see if they come back. I don't think they will though. Or atleast the real issues may only come back. Then we can deal with that.

Click here and look at post number seven http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...showtopic=43436 I think the hose you have on the red arrow where there shouldn't be a hose goes to 90910-12220 in the diagram.

I wish more people posted thier issues like that. It sure makes it easier to help!!!

LOL!!!

Your fuel trims are off as a compensation mode for the high IAT reading. So that' why the car probably won't go over 300 rpm and or dies.

Oops, sorry, I just read Bartkat already got that for you.

The hose you have connected to the passengerside red arrow pictue should be connected to the air box.

Your showing a 140 degree IAT, so you propbably have a short in the MAF.

In picture seven, the one with the two arrows, nothing should be connected to those fittings. Those are for turbo applications which were the ones I was trying to tell you about before.

Ah yes, the ever long debate . Manual vs. Auto. I guess it depends on you and what you want to do with the car. auto is great for everyday driving and has a manual switch to e shift. So it's kinda like manual. If you wanna put some big hp numbers down, then auto will hold more hp, but manual is fun and offers more control. I say get the auto.

AMEN!!!!!! I bet 99% of the morons in the left lane have no clue. I wish they would prime time that video clip! And the jerk in the PT Cruiser??, is the epitomy of what I'm talking about. Great post Blake. Good find!!!

( I have faith in the Pack!! They can do it!) ---New England looks sooo good though. So, if the Pack beats New England, they awsomely deserve the Super Bowl win, but if not, then New England does deserve to win it all. Sorry Indy. Funny---> George Carlin

You'll never be happy any other way brother........

When you put the ODB scanner on, are you looking at the pending code listing? Or did the ECU actually throw up another cel? Keep in mind that the ECU is not a waring system, but a datalogging and engine adjustment and control device. The ECU will log events, and if the event is outside the set parameters and it happens x amount of times within a set time span, then it throws up the cel. When you cleaned the MAF did you touch the elements? Or just spray electronics cleaner on it? When you put it back together, are you sure you did so correctly?

Does a cel come up? I would try and hook up a wide band and see what your AF looks like. For some reason I don't think it's your intake, But get your vacuume hoses on right first. I really think you might have another issue, like a lean condition or something that is throwing the car into limp mode and preventing it from running. Do you have access to an ODBII scanner with data logging and freeze frame? I would plug that in, along with an AF sensor and do some logging. You might have a bad fuel injector, or a fuel injector leak, or maybe your throttle body is stuck closed or something.

If your talking about the 2 metal hose connections that go to nothing just in front of the valve cover, those are for turbo applications and do nothing for the 2JZGE in NA mode.

What a good life qoutable. LOL!!!

Looky at what came in :

This should be the philosophy we all live by!! Instead of doing performance mods, we would just be doing combat prep and armour upgrades!!! LOL!! " Turbo? what do you need that for? Don't you know the stock mount .32 calibre isn't really sufficient, so I think you should upgrade to the twin .50 calibres with the counter wieght recoils. What do ya think? Maybe upgrade the navigation system to heat and ultraviolet targeting with 6 active bogy tracking and a passive mapping system so you don't take out to many pedastrians along the way. " LOL!!!!!

Oh yeah, I need a junkie to support my habit don't ya know?

I drove thru there Friday moring at around 4 am. No fog or dangereous conditions, but FHP was all around monitoring it. After seeing the horrible pictures and then driving thru that spot was really erie. You can still see all the skid marks on the highway. God-----> Pray
