  1. Hi everyone, OK I just went through the same problem.. My Check engine light came on. Ran the OBDII tester and it told me the cylinders were misfiring. I had to drive about 70 miles to get home in the middle of the night. I was just hoping I would not damage my car? I could not leave it where I was. So today I was reading about it and figureed I would pick up a couple of Ignition coils and replace them in the front to see if that took care of it. This is where I have my current problem. I Bought the coil and it looks exactly like the old ones. Even has the Toyota logos and stuff. I pulled one out and went to put in the new one and it would not fit? The old one came out super easy. I thought maybe because it was new it just was a snug fit? But I tried and tried to twist and push it it and it would not go. It seems like it is only about 1mm fatter than the old one. Everything else is identical and the parts store said this was the correct part. Also, when IO pull all of the old ones out they all look as new as the day the car got off the assembly line. Would their be something visible to show it is faulty? Or not? So, anyone have thoughts on this? Why would it not fit? Or is it just a snug "new" fit and needs to be worked in with more elbow grease? Or? Thanks
  2. OK, what do you all recommend? The Lexus original part starter from the dealer or the slightly less expensive re-manufactured BOSCH? Or another brand? Should I get the Starter w/ Solenoid? Will see any difference between the Lexus part and the after market? New vs. re-manufactured? I may try to do this myself so any replies or suggestions here would help.
  3. OK, I fianally got the download, but alas, I can not open it as I am on a Mac and the 7zip file only works for Windows. Anyone have this as a pdf? If someone can send it to me, I will re-post on a site that anyone can download from with no expiration date. Or if you want to post it there the site is: www.divshare.com Thanks in advance!!
  4. My 99 RX300 just started having a starting problem. I thought it would be the"starter" but after seeing this post I am wondering if this could be it? My question is: What would be my signal that this is the problem. My car just clicks when I try to start. It does not do it allthe time and after reading this, it actually might just be when it is warm outside. If it was this problem would I hear the engine trying harder to start or would it just be this clicking noise? Thanks!
