Oh yah ,i forgot why i was answering this question, their is something called a dogbone mount it is what controls the actual movements of the engine the shock just smoothes it out and slows it to nothing vibrations, the dogbone is on the passenger side at the top of the engine, do a search on dogbone in the ES 300 section as it should be the same and show you pics of it and how to see whaen it is bad.

Pushing on a shock will not tell you much if it is good or not ,that is an old man theroy which used to work when technology was just up and down. Depending on the valveing inside it can be as stiff as a rock ,not move at all once moved or come right back to original position immediatly all depends on the manufactuers specs on the dampeners for rebound and ( i can;t remeber what the compression valve is called , i am never up this early on a sunday morning....ever.....)

bulldog may be made by a #1 volume maker as it or a similar brand is sold at walmart. They used to be sold their not sure if tehy stlll are for about $30 the others were right get a better unit and give it as a gift to someone else , it is the gift that keeps on giving

WHAT? did you miss the post for new members to search , or you could have atleast look down the page a few titles.................. Stevie just showed a guy where to find the same foglight for someone else..........................

Funny enough in the lexus manual it recommends removing the thermostat and boiling it in water until it reaches a certain temp and you see the valve open . If i have wasted enough time to open the engine to get a thermostat ,i think i am going to change it with a new one. If it worked somehow for you then ,hey i guess it does. Which is why i wrote everything out in the process to see where it is totally off in testing

I recommend you go on ebay and buy yourself a obd2 scanner and find out your engine codes since you have no warr and se it to find out what is wrong.This way you can post them here and we can hel if possible.

Lots of posts on the same subject from the begining of the LOC get the output from the wires in the trunk to the amp Get a shop to wire up the amp as a few people who were novices in audio andwiring did it and have smoked their amps decks and ant because of bad wiring from inexpericances. Save the trouble it should only be about $60 to get someone to do it right ,once.

was the steering pump leak ever fixed as tehy all do that? if the pump aws fixed but the alternator wasn;t then it is not going to be a perfect charge which will help a battery to be strained and fail early.

oK YOU ARE MENTIONEING THING BUT WHAT WAS ACTUALLY FIXED, IN A TIMELINE FORM EACH TIME YOU WENT IN WHAT WAS the COMPLAINT WHAT WAS the RESOLUTION telling six times i had a light and got service saying all sorts of thing is so vauge ,i have no clue wether you are coming or going.

nie price but don;t you have a warr for the engien still atleast as it has an extended sludge warr on top of the regular one.

Ok i think to be a bit mroe specific, what you are saying is when the engine is at full operating temperature or cold and squeezing the upper rad hose? Well first the upper rad hose is and outlet not an inlet for coolant. The thermostat is released with heat and releases towards the upper hose as if you are low on coolant you would not get any as the pump could not feed off skimming the top of the rad. So in order for a thermostat to release it is engineered to release in the flow or direction of the coolant not against it, since the nature of it is to open it would keep trying to shut it as the spring on it worn out and cause the engine to overheat .This is the reason why most cars that have a thermostat problem not working it tends to never get any heat while oveheating is from a pressure loss from a leak . So if the valve is on the side of the upper rad hose and releases towards it how is it that one would hear the thermostat ever make a noise since you would be basically pressurizing that side of the thermostat which would only make it seat better so what difference would it make ,it is like pushing on a door that pulls out ? Also how would you even hear a thermostat make noise inside an engine, sorry in all my years of fixing cars ,in college as a tech and at the and a nut at the track i have never heard a thermostat ever make a noise. Holding an upper rad hose that is cold means 2 actual things, their either is not enough coolant or the thermostat hasn;t opened yet. Since it is the upper rad hose you are talking about just open the rad cap pour some water in and it should be full. Sorry to pick apart your theroies but they seem way off and in the wrong direction, correct me if i am wrong, but that is why i spelled it out for you. Increasing the flow of coolant will decrease you temps such removing your thermostat, which is not recommened as the car needs to be a certain temp or you will be burning too muchgas as the engine is still in open lopp ecu running rich. the fan is most common for not functiong at full speed. or try a search and find out what all the other 92-93 owners found when they overheated like everyother ES of that vintage.

ahh well that is ok to use at a distance as long as you don;t invert the can

your a new meber and welcome but before you posted did you read any of the titles on the pages? the one for this pages says quite largely ****this Section Is To Post Tutorials***, ALREADY DONE FOR YOU TO READ,NOT ASK FOR

uploadint the book to what? I also have one with an IR and a cable soon bluetooth whne i get a dongle

Sounds like a bad regulator buy a new one and replace it, unless you have a bad wire which is breaking off contact causing the vdc to spike

You don;t need to apoligise to me , no worries about it either way.

Don not blow the sensor with compressed air it is a thin metal filament it will break clean your throttle body ,cars that are subjected to lots of idling and short trips tend to have large amounts of carbon deposits from the cold engien being flooded with gas cloggin up the throttle plate after the engien is turned off when it is still in rich mode.

In the 6 tiems you have gone back what have tehy replaced? Did you get a new engine need more details.

lol sometimes all you need is to add the relay into the fues panel in the engine bay and it works if everything else is alreayd there sine it is just a low wattage realy for the highbeams

Jzz it sounds like you have an alarm in the car that you don;t know about

others have removed their thermostats and have had no problems either after but it is more of a band aid than a fix

It may also be you IACV as you have a 97

moved to the wheel and tires forum

usuallyy it is just the thermostat to wait for to be bled but any excess air usually gets bled out naturally
