  1. I don't understand the above RPM chart. I didn't mention the recent valve job the engine had. I don't want to put a lot of money into the car as I am selling it. I'll inform the buyer that it may need a new water pump and timing belt. Thanks, rudy
  2. I'm new to forums bare with me. I have a 93 ES300 with 170K. On long trips, usually over 50 miles, the engine will suddenly start to overheat. I pull over and sit for awhile and it cools off in 15-20 minutes. Then I can drive the rest of the way without any problem. I have had the radiator cleaned and a new tank installed. I have changed the thermostat and caps. The hydraulic fan seems to be working fine. I suspect the fact that the engine is over revving (2500 at 65mph) at high speeds is the problem. I just realized that the trans only shifts 3 times. That would be a 4-speed trans. Is 4th gear the overdrive or is there a direct drive that is not kicking in? Thanks, Rudy
