hey guys, im new to here and hope to be a participating member from here on out. I just purchased a 99 es300 with 150k on it, it has about 35k on a new motor replaced by lexus on this so called sludge issue.... when i bought it it had a p0303 stored in it and replaced the plugs... it did nothing then replaced the 3 coil, did nothing, i work at a shop so we ran 5 cans of toyota efi clean through the engine to try to unclog an injector... did not fix it. ended up replacing the 3 injector which fixed the stumble.. then checked compression on all 6 cyl, had 220 on all 6. ran it for a day and set codes for both afr sensor heater malfunctions and ciircuit response malfunction codes, 4 all together, at the same time. then i noticed a stumble in park when revving the engine, does it mostly about 30-45 seconds after a cold start, will not do it when engine is first started. i was able to use the toyota scanner to turn up injector rate 25% which cleared the strumble when revving in park.. my question is... can the afr sensors cause that stumble or are they mainly emissions sensors?? i would not rather replace them right now if i have another underlying problem at hand. any suggestions?? thanks in advance. chris

my 99 es300 goes to 1900 rpms when cold, then down to 800 when fully warmed up, and its still in the 70's here. Thats after cleaning the iac and maf and tb well. just bought it last week i dont know if its normal or not.... chris

winner!!!! im guessing its worth about 5-6k, it is in excellent cond. pearl white, all leather doesnt have any rips tears...etc..

New to the club here purchased a 1999 es300 wednesday of last week, 150k, excellent condition $1500 cash took it away, it did need 2 tires and a fuel injector replaced which I have already done... it was a steal, couldnt say no to that!!!! chris

I hae just purchased a 99 es300, being a toyota owner my whole life i know alot about these cars. on the radio, ironically, the lcd works fine, but the back lights for the presets, volume, and am-fm-cd, all do not work except for one, how are they replaced?? are they lcd or bulbs? is this something I can fix or does it need to go out for repairs? thanks for any help you can offer me. chris
