  1. I had the same problem on my 95' SC400 a few years ago....If I turned the a/c off while driving the engine would stall. After searching this forum I found that the problem was a dirty throttle body. Cleaned the throttle body and solved this problem. Do a search here...there used to be instructions on cleaning the throttle body without damaging any sensors.
  2. On my 95' SC I gave those trim pieces a light sanding with wet/dry sandpaper, masked off windows and body with newspaper and masking tape and spray painted with flat black engine paint....came out looking like new...cost $2.98 and a little time.
  3. Thank you very much! I am very happy to get a copy of this manual!
  4. I emailed Lexus USA for one a few years back and they sent it to me no charge.
  5. Rack & pinion: Toyota part# 442502415084 $438.73
  6. The power steering was leaking on my 95' SC400 at the pump and at deteriorating hoses and fittings (160,000 miles all original parts). Had the local Toyota dealer do the repairs as I had neither the time or inclination to do this job. New power steering pump, new high pressure hose, new return hose, re-manufactured rack and pinion, 4 wheel alignment $2782.64 w/tax.
  7. I had the same problem with my 95' SC400. The odor is eminating from the air conditioner evaporator. Lexus published a technical service bulletin # AC001-97 On Sept 12, 1997. It details how to clean the evaporator. I took my car to the local Toyota dealer (closer than Lexus) and had the evap. cleaned for $65.00 this ended the odor problem for the time being but I think it will re-occur sometime down the road.
  8. Thanks for the heads up. Cleaned throttle body---problem solved!!
  9. I have a 95' that does the same thing. If I turn off the a/c while driving the engine dies. All lights stay on etc. I can shift to neutral and re-start and as long as I have my foot on the accelerator the engine will run but if I take my foot off of the gas the engine will die again. If I park and leave the engine off for a while the car runs ok without the a/c.
  10. I have had the transmission flushed on both Lexus that I own (1990 ES250 w/85,000 mi. and 1995 SC400 w/149,000 mi.) and saw a marked improvement in shifting in both cars. Both cars were done at a Toyota dealer who was close by, less, expensive than the lexus dealer & used Toyota transmission fluid.
