in my case it was the intake hose, it was choking the engine and stall on stop lights. it's $90 from lexus dealership

no, your wife drives more than i do :)

all 1993 cars have r134a, the ones that you can get from walmart. R12s are illegal and you can't buy them except for mechanic shops.

OK, i went to some autoparts store today and i 'm trying to locate the right bulb. Is it "72" or "73"? what should the right one be? can some one please tell me the right bulb to get. Lextech and the dealership is extrememly over price. also the bulb that SMASOOD bought is from ebay UK, not from the US.

I just bought 3 struts for my 92 es300 I received 4 identical one in the mail/ none of them have the "bowl" that support the spring. did i get the right part? can someone tell me? tokico HZ3138 and tokico HZ3139, if they're suppose to look the same ?

I am also replacing the bulbs on my instrument panel, where can i buy them from? and how many Volts are they?

From my experience? CV joint, a cracked boot that leaked out all fluid. how about your struts? are they're leaked?

Thanks for the heads up, i guess i'll need to buy another car to tow the nissan / airstream basecamp. that thing is beautiful.

so is the gross weight 3500 lbs? do you think it can posibly tow the new airstream/nissan basecamp?

1. I have an automatic, and the shifter is old and leather is torn, any replacement ideas? anyone re-stiche their shifter? or after market option? 2. What is the best way to re-paint your interior panels? clean, primer then paint? 3. my speaker grill fabric keeps coming off no matter how many times i tug it in, what would you use to make it stick? super glue? 4. how do you steam clean your engine? what do you use to make it shine and no oil residue? 5. I'm planning to replace my stuts, do i also need to replace my springs as well? my 3 struts are blown and i hit the bottom when i crawl over speedbumps OK, OK, there is one more, i broke one of my valve cover bolts, where can i get another one? One more question, will a Rx 300 auto shifter fit the es300? or does anynone know a good replacement automatics knob that's also wood or leather? mine's getting old and crusty.

please help, the small hose running below the battery is suppose to connect to ??? coolant is leaking everywhere and I'm trying to find a hold to plug it back into, but where is it supposed to go? anyone knows? if there is a pic , it would be very very helpful.

I took my 92 es300 113K to change the front engine mount and here's what the lex tech find out: 1.valve cover gasket leak 2. cam seals leak 3. rear main seal leak 4. transmission pan leak 5. advise PS & AC Belt change The timing belt was changed at 68K, should i change all belts then? Which ones should i do first ? I did the cover gasket few months ago and now it leaks again, what gives? Can i do the cam seals myself? is it hard? How much am i looking at for all things seperately? I hate it when mechanics take advantage of women sorry guys, i'm just really upset :cries:

I got a 92 ES, it has 103K now, when i first bought it, it was dying on me at the stop light once in a blue moon. Here are the things that i did and fixed the problem. engine runs great now. I hope this will help some newbies like me. 1. Check air intake hose, mine had a big crack, replaced it at Lexus for $99 2. Changed all spark plugs, wires, distributer and rotor. Distrubuter was cracked with oil. cleaned the throttle body. 3. tranny flush and radiator flush.

just got my tranny flush yesterday, the mechanic saids it's regular dextron III fluid, does that mean i can put any color dextron III if needed?

go and have lexus dealer check out the car for you, it'll cost about $70, they'll tell you the condition and what's coming down the road. things to watch out for are, sludge in the oil, overheating history, drive the car for at least 15 mins and see if it hesitate on stop lights, see if the idle is okay. check transmission fluid, steering and cooling system. if you do decided to get the car, plan to spend 2-300 dollars in changing things like spark plug, filters, wires, fluid change, flush...etc.

Hi All, where is the IACV located? can someone snap a pic for me so that i can clean it our myhself? is it hard to take it apart?

$82 for the pipe.

update: Last nite i was picking up my wife and work and the car stall twice. So i finally went and got some throttle body cleaner and spray the XXXX out of it, well, as i was taking the intake hose apart, that POS crumble on me, i managed to go to the lexus dealer this morning, they said there was a hugh crack in the middle of the intake pipe and that causes the stalling. And the cause of the crack on the intake hose? broken front engine mount, it was bucking like a wild bronco when the mechanic rev the engine.... so..... there you have it people, check the engine mount and cracks in the intake pipe, that could be the reason for stalling.

i had similar problem, but i changed the pcv valve and that fixed it..... so check that and also the fuel filter....

the local lexus/toyota dealership quoted me $340 for the Valvle cover gasket job, and they'll give me a loaner car..... good deal?

went to the lexus dealership, they said I need to have the Valve cover gasket, distributor O ring and oil level sensor seal done. Have any of you done these before? if so how much and how hard is it? any help is appreciated.

I have a 92 es300, I am 26, married, clean record, paying 621 a year from Amica. what about you?

I have a 92 with 98K, I put 87octane and I get 285miles a tank... what about you?
