  1. where did you get the code from i only know the obd II codes do a google search for the that one
  2. you have to remove the wheels clean tehm then use paint to coat the suface from the elements there are spray cans but they are junk the best is the folia tec brush on one or it is also rebaged and sold by tire rack called g2 i think but it is amazing stuff plus while you are at it you can paint your rotors comes in blue red gold silver black and a few other colours and looks mint
  3. didn't you ask this before and if not do a search some one gave a very good answer to the problem besides throwing it away since a short pipe is junk
  4. good answer piggy the leather wheels only cheap option is a new one the dealer is the only place i can think of to get what you are talking about but i am not sure what it is are you tlking about the magazine that goes in the cd changer ? if it is then the dealer and other pioneer audio stores cna order it
  5. the smell might be from the a/c being on when the car was shut off last it is usually mildew growing on the core try a can of a/c anti bacterial spray or just lysol and spray it in the vent on the passenger side of the windsheild with the a/c on and at full blast for heat and spray you may have to repeat this about 3 times over a few days to clear it up
  6. tuff stuff is a cleaner not a protectant that might be your problem with spotting the parts that are leather are the sufaces that actually touch you when seated except for the rear seat which has the headrest that also faces the rear window it is also leather al the sides and rea are not leather but vinyl but it is still a good idea to treat it as well no other parts are on the cars doors dash or console except the center armrest wheel and shifter+hand brake
  7. i would say an alternator problem that is intermittent i used to not be able to idle my car as it wouldn't keepenough chrge to restart i would also check the wiring which may need to be replaced if damged for the alternator and starter plus body ground
  8. not sure what you mean by consumer market in 96 gm used it since 89 in some cars i belive red has a higher temp rating most cars with green can go to red, but not vice versa because of a problem with seals not being compatibale i am only going by a data sheet i saw on the gm computer when i worked there which is where i first learned of the extended life coolant
  9. i have to agree it is a bit hard to understand what you are saying but then again i make little sense without a decoder after treading this post it makes a bit more sense i might say it is the cat does it burn oil or smoke take it to lexus as they can evaluate it right and once don't have to get the work done there just pay for the estimate
  10. go into your profile you have set the wrong time zone for your local
  11. yah there are paint markers to do it with it is best to remove the emblems paint them black and then clear coat them or it will look like !Removed! in a few years
  12. undo the erar trunk trim and then tehre are about 5-6 nuts to unscrew to remove the whole taillight assembly same process is used to get at the bulbs when burnt
  13. yes all lexus have the same security as soon as you unlock a door when it is armed it relocks it try it sit in the car and arm the car wait for the 1 minute delay cylce and open a door the alarm will go off an relock the doors
  14. 90% of all toyota/denso ant are te same just order the same year camry one to be sure
  15. where? top bottom side how far up in realtion to what things on the colum it migth be in part to the high current cuircit in the ignition or a bulb that has fallen out of place
  16. exactly what he said i woul say it is a relay unless all the other operations on the stalk are dead
  17. i am not sure i am reading both earlier posts right so feel free to corret me if i am interpreting it wrong but when a car is boosted it can start of the others cars battery fine without having the good car running only time it helps is if the dead one is connected with crappy cables causeing a low currrent flow thus the donor cr having to slightly charge the battery first to turn over the dead car i would have to disagree without there being an increase in power as when a donor (running) car is connected to a dead one it is normally at max voltage and current trying to keep itself going and tehn trying to charge another dead battery as well as resistance from the cables now once the dead one starts it will see a low voltage situation and also go to max voltage sort of like a tug of war at this point the weaker alt will usually die after time as tehre is a diode in all alternators called a zenor diode which controls flow but can be over powered and die eventually from forced current from this exact situation the spike caused by this is usually not enough to cause a ecu to lose its memory though
  18. i am going to say first problem is the springs are saging not the struts as they only control the up and down speed in dampaning secong i think you have the wrong offset for your rims with mine lowered a good bit and 18's it all comes down to offsets of the rims look at the side wall of the tire in question and look for wear or gouges you could also try shaving some of the inner well lip off
  19. i think it is the front one that can easily be seen from the front of the engine
  20. lol yah i remembered after you need some parts unfortunatly being in canada it is kinda far also when i tlak to wreckers as one guy here has has 3 of them he wants to only sell the whole assembly for 100
  21. sounds like preignition knock form carbon buildup change the plugs and get a fuel injector cleaning also a air filter
  22. sounds like it might be the drivetrain not the brakes
  23. they might be original lexus rims but where they chromed by lexus or done aftermarket
  24. make sure they remove thpaneling and sand it very good as well as the bumpers also make sure they use a good amount of flex agent to resist stone chipping maybe about 800 for the whole thing
  25. it is made by meguires i used to get it from the states at pep boys not sure if they still carry it as i found the canadian distributer and buy it by the case now
