If it didn't turn off then there is a problem with the sensor. Unless it is a wire problem . did you test the wiring?

Brake Caliper Paint - Your Experiences?
SKperformance replied to BA_GS400's topic in 93 - 05 Lexus GS300 / GS400 / GS430
I agree the g2 stuff is great ,it is sold by tire rack who relabels it .The orignal product is from a german company called folia tec . it is the best stuff period. It hides blemishes covers uneven surfaces. And makes a beutiful deep gloss finish after. It comes with 3 cans 2 are mixed together which is the hardner and resin. the other is brake cleans to clean them up. I have had them on my car in silver for about 3 years now. the other spray can stuf is crap vht, and other make. -
Lexus Es300 Wiring Diagrams
SKperformance replied to petroname's topic in 92 - 06 Lexus ES250/300/330
they are actually pretty cheap to get a full schematic. It sounds more like it is being built to be sold otherwise the amnuals would be worth it to buy. they go for aout 150 for all 3 and are well worth it. -
car fax and others don;t have anything but major incidents if you can see a colour difference then it was repainted. any good shop with an anal bodyman will be able to pick apart what was hit and replaced and if done properly. it could have been a scuffed bumper that got painted

Giving Up On Fully Synthetic Oil
SKperformance replied to Andrewsreef's topic in 96 - 97 Lexus LX450
I still agree with stevie. Just call me SK there is no "I" to make it skip Being on a radio show means nothing more than they get to be flamed publicaly more often to have more knowledge Using valvoline oil makes 0 difference ,do you really think toyota makes there own oil ,gas and other fluids??? I never mentioned anything about extended fluid changes. I still only change my oil 2X ( summer 15w50 and winter 0w30)a year as it only does long highway drives when used but still hold better compression and power than any other ES i have seen or tested. I also burn zero oil or leak. Distance is a basic measurement for changing the oil . If an engine is kept running like a taxi or a large truck they hardly ever change there oil even though it is used much more.It does not breakdown as easily as it is not cooled and heated as often which is where breakdown occurs. If all highway milage rather than city it is much the same. There are way too many tem milage stress speed climate and other variables to include so a manufactuer will ALWAYS make a very "safe" milage mark to change the oil. It is a fact that the oil is the same but filtered differently to remove natrual deposits that are unwanted.This is what makes it have such a better pour point in hot and cold extremes. it also helps it from leaving burnt deposits inside an engine as it has fewer in it to leave. This is not hearsay, a guess or anything else. So bring something to the table that is a "fact" not just an educated guess. Because everyone has an opinion just like a few other things. -
Giving Up On Fully Synthetic Oil
SKperformance replied to Andrewsreef's topic in 96 - 97 Lexus LX450
I agree with stevie ,you can switch all you like no problems at all. Remember everybody is a critic but very littleare experianced. The funny part of the quote of toyota is it says petroleum based oil. Synthetic is pertorleum based oil.It is not some weird chemical. It just uses a "synthetic" filtering process to remove more waxes,gums and other natural materials that normal filtering doesn't. I used to beilve that you are never supposed to use syn from day one ,as this was " basic" knowledge .Then i pondered it for a wjile and realised this is more of an urban myth nobody ever bothered to figure out it was wrong. It is just cleaner oil. How in the world can a dirtier oil cause a problem for parts to be able to thrash against itself and seat properly? Corvettes come with mobil 1 from the factory as do a few other high performance cars. Do they break the cars in before they deliver them?/ -

Man Big Problem My Wife Is An *****
SKperformance replied to GSsoldier's topic in 90 - 00 Lexus LS400

Please Help, Wife Did Something Stupid
SKperformance replied to Wilson1911's topic in 90 - 00 Lexus LS400
Highly impossible to warp a rear disc since it is the drum and it is going to get heated evenly. You would have worn down the shoes inside and the e brake might need adjustment after. But you never jam the brake as hard as possible ,just enough force to make the car stop rolling. -
you got a bad tranny that is on the way out the door. it might be a bad solenoid in the alve body but atleast change the fluid to remove the easiest problem first.

Why Gs4xx Is Better Than E55 Amg?
SKperformance replied to aerodragon's topic in 93 - 05 Lexus GS300 / GS400 / GS430
I prefer the e55 out the box for everything it offers in style and performance. for the same money you can buy a GS and make the changes for a 1/4 of the difference in price and make it preforme 1/2 as good but get reliability that is X3. MB's are good cars with good reliability they do have maintance issues but only because the sensors are so close for tolerances that the ecu thinks they need to be changed but it still works fine. Just a great way MB engineers its parts to be contantly replaced. -
It is mad for the tight japanese roads. I only got them for extra points at shows and because it is different. Other wise it is pretty useless in north america.

How Do You Clean Your Wheel Wells
SKperformance replied to exdotcomer's topic in Lexus Detailing and Car Care Forum
a coin op power washer is what i use for mine every month in winter. -
If you left a low voltage situation for a while it would cause carbon to build up and cause a problem. I doubt it will have a problem now on. A toothbrush and some rust check spray works great for me . I used it yeaterday working on my fatherinlaws accord and it removed the corrosion on the terminals and turned the copper conduductors pink when i wiped them after i had to loosens them again. I was suprised it worked so amazing and leave a caoting to prevent corrosion.
