I once had a beemer

but girls did nothing but kick me in the femur

so i did myself a favor and got a lexus

Straight from the factory in texas

now i use it to find out if the girl is quite or a screamer

Im sorry but ive never even hear of the tach senser.........

But yea the power feels fine,when i push the gas tires smoke,lol ok well no but the power is still there.

coil pack,hmm dont know whatr that is.

Injectors,yes i thought about it begin them for the same reason as fuel filter....

Also i have alot of noises from my front tires suspention or something. sounds liek somethings always hitting and rubbing but i look and there enough clearance. But im just guessing my struts are going...Thats not really important right now. I just thought i woudl mention that,

Im almost positive its not the sensors. Only because i ahvent had any durastic cahgnes in mpg and no my light stays on when it comes on.

im starting to think it might be the fuel filter.MY firned just had to replace his on a similar mileage car for the same error(too lean). And it sounds right for me because i run my car till the last 2 or 3 gallons almost everyitime and thats the "dirty" part of the tank so i can believee the filter got trashed on my car.

dam* light came on again today :chairshot:

does it tank more then a tank for seafoam to clean stuff out? but yea im gonan check all the stuff u guys said as soon as i get some time...its not liek detremental that i drive with this probelm though ,right? I mena i can see being to lean a problem if your taking like long ttrips but i usually dont take long drives. usualyly jsut drive locally. Farthest place i drove since its been on was airport 40 minutes away .

out of curiosity... dont u have to put seafoam then fill up the tank? Is that ok? I know when i put Chevron wit Techron.... i put that stuff in just prior to filling up.

How often do u get vaccum leaks?

U can check out if ur O2 sensors r ok by following the steps here

http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/EFI/mainoxygensensor.html

I know it's for a LS. But i'm assuming the concept is the same. I dont know wut the ohm readings should b on an ES though. Can n e one confirm if its the same? That it should b reading around 5.1-6.3 ohms at 68 degrees?

Good luck.

OK toysrme ill check those out but its been a day and no light so far,keeping my fingers crossed.

but yea i put it in half a tank it doesnt really matter. it says used for 8 to 20 gallons or something liek that,and half a tank is 9 gallons, so its all good.

Ok went to autozone i think the code was 171. The machine just said TOO LEAN. He asked when i last had a tuneup ,and the answer is never obviously:) so he said that should fix it.

I just went and bought some seafoam,put that into my tank(had a half a tank left) and reset my computer. So we will see if the light come up again. Hopefully not. But i think im still gonna go and get my spark plugs changed atleast(for the first time:))

so autozone you say will do it for free? hmm migh thave to check that out.

Ok well i just got a remote start installed like 3 weeks ago and about weeks ago my check engine light came on. I took out the battery and put it back on. Everything was fine and about 2 days later it went on again. I did this liek 3 more time.....

I did a search and found that i can also take out the efi fuse...where is that.... and woudl it be any different ?

How woudl i get my codes sin i have an obd2 system,and not the older system????

hmm ok i tihnk ill prabably go with the act's then. But yea i dont want to use a wheel cleaner they damage the rim! And my sonus detailer works well but still takes a bit of time to clean the wheel

my uncle said that the onlyway to have a low dust brake is by making it hard,and hard brakes kill your rotors. so i dont want to have to shell out 250 more bucks in liek 2 years. ill prabably stick with the close to stock Akebono ProACT Ceramic pads,how are those noise\dust wise??

ok so im about to buy brembo rotors form ebay ,drilled and slotted, for 210 dollars. So im set with that. but im stuck on what brakes to buy . ive searched this whole forum but cant find my answer.

my priority is low brake dust,im really tired of having my chrome rims filthy ion dust 1 hour after i just washed them!

im also looking for a even balance of the rest of thing things....low noise,braking power and durability.

can anyone give me any suggestions?

i have a 1996 with 70K and myne gets 16.5 mpg to 19.5 depending on how much highway and how hard i drove it. Ive learned to deal with the painstaikengly horrible gas milage the es300 has. my friend always brags how he gets 35 mpg on his civic. damn hondas!

got one installed easily on my car,no matter hwat anyone says im extremely happy with it.

havent got the klasse item yet but just got the sonus one in. Its AMAZING nothing like any of the quick detailers that the stores sell,it seems better then the wax i use!!

well i listened to you guys and i jsut orded a 16ozof klass all-in-one on ebay for 23 with shipping and ordered the 10 oz of that sonus from autopia for 16 with shiopping. i read good stuff about these things,so ill be using it for my wheels and i guess instead of my meguars wax, isnt it much better then the meguars wax.... And also so this should help get rid of the water spots and everytime i rewash my car i wont need to dry it?(for a month or so b4 reapplying wax)

hmm that stuff looks good! so can i only buy it ofline or are there stores that sell it? also that spray,are u sure its not damaging to the wheel. i read most sprays are....

are u joking me my drivers seat is MUCH worse,thats what u get when u get it form your dad that wieghs 250 pounds and didnt take car eof it,

nice ,sounds liek a muscle car,lol. but wheres that vvvvvvvvvvvvvvv psssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,lol!!!

I like shoving the worn rubber out and replacing it with 3M polyurathane window sealer.

Waaaaay stronger than the stock rubber. Much less rocking around. I would suggest anyone with a strut tower bar that's within 1" of knocking the manifold to do that.

←

My bar was that close then i shoved two washers inbetwwen the tower and the sttrut bar mounts,and bent the bar a little,now its perfect. But pretty ironic how a bar thats "saposably" saposed to keep my chasis together could be bent by me by hitting it on my leg(alot of force but still not as much force as a vihicle has)

just measure ure intake pipe and buy one off ebay that fits it. its BS saying they dont make a bypass valve for a certain car,they are universal,its liek saying u cant put a cetrain turbo on a car.

thnkas everyone for the comments!

it just rained yesterday and no condensation so yay!

i dont remember whos steps i took. it was easy. no u dont take off the rubber thingy,just all the bolts,lights,one metal condctor(the strip to the turn signal,clips and plastic pieces(3 little plastic pieces with liek a orange foam in them.)

i thought it was pretty easy,hardest part is the closing of the light to make sure everythings closed and u got to put alot of pressure to put the clips on. i did this with noone else so it can be done by yourself. The second light took me 12 minutes to bake,10 minutes to seperate,and clear, 3 minutes to bake to put everything together and like 8 minutes to close,so 30 miunte job each light.

oh and yea,im getting around to buying new bubl., i might have to open up my left one again though:( i put aluminum\stainless steel polish on the inside b\c it always makes the headlight looks better when i put it on the outside,and its sorta faking or something and makes the light look more dirty. Maybe it will go aweay itself though(melt away maybe and go to the bottom where its not visible...:chairshot:

ok well i got 28% tints and cleared my corners the other day,so check it out!(yea i am updating fast!)

ok and its a wierd number(28%) because i found out from the guy that our stock tint is 80% and on top of a 35% tint thats 28%

tell me what u think,its on the second page.

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/1202769

oh and SK u might want to add into the FAQ that our stock tint is 80%,could be very useful to anyone planning on tinting their lexus.

where can i get that? murrays?

yea just the springs. Its great. I reccommend these springs. ts sorta inbetween he eibachs that arent enouhg drop and intrax,which are too muuch

is tghere ANY way to make it so that every time it rains i dont get spots on my chrome wheels where i have to rewash them and dry them with a shammy. also is there a way so they dont get brake dust on them,or atleast if they do so that u can just wiipe it off easily(so the equevilant of waxing a car)
