  1. isn't that injector only used for inital start up then shuts off? if the car is hard to start as in maybe a few attempts before starting i would say yah but either way clearing up the system can always help as a cheap and good first step
  2. i have some very ghetto ideas but they seem to work well for me i am into spending money to try anything but never wasting it kind of like a big mac even if i am stuffed i will not leave anything behind as it would be wastful i guess my parent saying " there are kids in africa starving kinda stuck with me"
  3. only thing i can say is remove the seat and check to see if it is still being powered it might be a simple plug for it you can't see
  4. get a motor vac it is a high pressure cleaning solution added to the fuel rail to clean everything in the system about $100 works great and almost any car will pass after as it cleans the cat to almost new by throwing unburnt fuel at it
  5. this topic has been hotly debated i say red never green as from what i learned in school saying it was not compatibale with some seals and aluminum it is longer life also drain the system and fluash it real good tehn replace with the proper dex-cool red coolant
  6. save your money and get atleast a 94 it is a much better engine IMO all aluminum less prone to warpage and better on gas as well as reliable just a thought also dual interior airbags
  7. never see a red one wal mart does have a brand here in canada suprised pep boys doesn't have it it should be in the lubricant section beside silicone spray for the rubber
  8. do it right and do it once the optima battery can help a good bit it will then need enw wires to it and new terminals to fit as well as tehy are reversed on every battery other than toyotas which is a good thing the battery ground to the chasis corrodes which is under thebattery tray also change the wiring for the starter positive and anyother ones you can i used 4 gauge power wire and gold connectors use 0-1 , or 4 gauge to save trouble and you chould be ok i made all these changes on my 94 es and it works great for my system now the car starts faster and the lights don't dim at all
  9. does the broken one move at all in any direction?
  10. it is really hard to get all the dirt off as most get imbedded in the paint and finally get loosened when drying as no lube i don't let the car dry for a day just and hour or so so the mineral deposits don't get a chance to do anything such as imbedding themselves in the paint and they just get wiped away with the final inspection and the cloth
  11. that is because optima only makes one size for the yellow top to replace the battery you may have to rewire the terminals as well since toyota reverses them compared to everyone else
  12. there is more to a code tha the 3 numbers like a po before as po466 is purge flow sensor range / performance you may have a vacume leak
  13. that should be the o2 sensor at the rear of the engine by the firewall as per jpi that is the first bank
  14. i think it may be the coolant level but without seeing the icon itself i am unsure of what it is
  15. my wife is afraid to drive my car she asys someone might hit her when driving or parked but she drove it 3 times in 6 years
  16. well i have no idea how or why except from initial inspection it is smaller there may be newer bearings to handle the load i think originally it was ok because it gave less drag on the engine at idle for smoothness but lexus usually doesn't do stuff for no reason the alternator can only be rewound to about 90 amps as i have tried to find out from a few places on getting it done and they all said there is very little room to fit more wiring unlike most Domestic vehicles i guess it was fine until the whole car aged and resistance came into play
  17. sorry my dumb !Removed! thought this was in the es section in that case i don't know what the grilles are made of so i stand corrected lol
  18. not sure on what is the best tire for the 200 price cap but i have toyo t1-s they are summer only and are amazing not sure on american dollar pricing though
  19. try not to disconnect the hoses for the fan as it is hydralic if possible
  20. just wondering why you want to know the stock rims offset?
  21. are you sure it is not the 00-01 one one as the 98 should be the same as the 97?
  22. it is like quick detailer but i find that more of a finifhing spray mor than the final which brings out a really good shine the detailer just removes dust and finger prints
  23. the girl is from a club i am with www.toyotanation.com she is our spokeswoman/model from Toronto see we have sars but atleast we have some real good looking carriers of it also lmao thank god that sars stupidness is gone now :chairshot:
  24. doesn't sound right usually it is afungus mildew growth in the a/c system just weird as it is on recircualtion mode
  25. no problem amf by replacing the pulley to a smaller one it changes its rpm's and making it spin faster so that at idle with the old pulley it is like doing 1200 rpm with the new pulley at idle just like geasr on a bike same amount of input but a greater out put of speed
