  1. it should be located right behind the front cam cover. Most likely if I am remembering right is a hose that runs towards you and makes a 90 degree turn downwards into the PCV valve hole, it should be kind of loose or wobbly, so you will know what to expect. Also seafoam into that hose will clean out that motor, i did it and found better mpg's. There will be a new PCV valve at your local store for about 3-5 or maybe more dollars. Pop the old clogged one out, and put the new one in. Also to improve your car's performance put in a new fuel filter. Its pretty easy and they are both neccessary for your goal. happy shopping

  2. i really want a new bumper, it has a few scuffs on the side, and my buddy purposely drove slowly into my rear bumber when we were stopped at a light, he thought it was funny, **** GRRR. well he didnt do much but put 2 nice bolt marks in the rear bumper. Is there a way to have my 2 tone car turned into one tone? have a pro paint the bottom panels, or am i stuck with wut i got?

  3. 2005 ES330, 78K miles. The A/C off/on button has a light that indicates activation. This light has started to blink and then the A/C shuts off. The A/C restarts after I turn it off and then on. It has been wet and rainy recently (Northeast) and the start of the problem coincided with this weather. Is this belt slippage or a bigger proble? Any ideas out there? Thanks..

    well let me say something here. When it rained up here in wisconsin nonstop for 2weeks, i was out having fun in all the puddles which were everywhere flooding the streets. I drove into a big puddle and the a/c light started blinking. maybe a belt was slipping, you could be right. thats what happened to me, i wonder if your a/c needs to be recharged?

  4. Hi guys I am 17 and I have a 97 ES300. My Aunt is my mom's best sister, and our favorite Aunt. She gave us this car becuase we were always babysitting and watching their kids often because they are the vacation type. We received it in 2003 and it was driven by my mom and 2 yrs older sister for a few years UNTIL I GOT MY LICENSE >:^) . The car is the best thing we have, but I appreciate the car as it is, the only upgrade I have made were hella whites. but I love this machine

  5. are the battery terminals clean? if they are full of green or yellow or odd colored powdery stuff, you may need to get a wire brush battery post cleaner. For 2 bucks, it should remove all the crap. It should fix that problem unless the cables are rotted out. How many miles are on this 97? i have the same year, but dont have this problem. You should add some seafoam into the tank so it can clean out the fuel lines, do a few times with following instructions. add at every fill up for about 4 times or more, just to increase efficiencey and ensure that the lines are clean so that the car doesnt lack fuel and run to lean and die on you. You should also have your fuel filter replaced. If this is helpful at all let me know.

  6. MAybe the P1705 code is going to show up if you scan the car. Direct clutch speed sensor, it might not be working anymore, my car's sensor wasnt doing its job, i would shift at like 4500-5000 rpms until I got it replaced, It has been shifting smooth and sooner than before. Try to see if this is the case.

  7. try buffing the out, it may be sun burned or wha ti called blistered. This may be from too much exposure to the sun. its hard too see the spots, could you plz get a closer picture to see it better?

    Guys I just sold my 1997 ES300 with 157K miles on it. It is now time to upgrade!

    I am considering a 2002 ES300 that has 78K miles on it. It is in pretty good shape and also has navigation. My only concern is this: The car is black, and it looks like it wasn't washed/waxed regularly and spent most of it's life under the hot Houston sun. As a result, the paint is not in very good shape. It has a very dull look to it. But most importantly, the hood has white "smudges" all over it. The kind you get on the windshield from the bugs. But I tried removing one of these smudges with my finger, but couldn't, which leads me to believe that the paint might be permanently damaged in these spots. Look at the picture:

    See the two arrows pointing on the hood? Well it doesn't look too bad in the pic, but white spots like this are all over the hood. What do you guys suggest? Is this something that is fixable? Is it a deal breaker? I love the car, but can't live with a crappy exterior.
