  1. no problem glad to help but anything that is o2 sensor safe is usually for silicone gasket makers the mould replent in silicone can damage o2 sensors otherwise almost anything else will work fine no adverse affects and there really is no need to remove anything to use the product i use the tb cleaner every 6 months on my cars and it keeps them purring perfect
  2. all these mods sound great but the real issue is the car should not have a wandering attitude at all just wondering what speeds are you doing that find the wander at ? the alignment changes would be great but then changes the character of the car and its suspension also causing uneven wear on the tires lowering the car would help alot but maybe there is a suspension problem causing the wander such as a ball joint worn out
  3. yah nothign compares to the lexus manuals they are expensive but well worth it for 3 books
  4. where are you and how much for the parts kattax
  5. where the varnish and carbon builds up is from the car being turned off and the unburnt fuel in the combustion chamber backing up the intake plenum and around the throttle plate varnishing hope i helped to clear it up carb cleaner will work but there are specific ones for throttle bodies not sure of the difference though and no o2 sensor last forever but a good 250 km should be fine but a good motorvac would also help evrey 50 000 miles to save gas and restore power
  6. have you had a suspension check for play in the ends and the hub mainly i replaced one of mine if a rim is damaged enough to need to be replaced then it may have damaged the hub this will cause a vibration biggest problem is the abs sensor is located in the hub which will need to be replaced as there is almost no way to save it as it can't be pressed out
  7. there are a few yards around the country that have parts search the web for them across the country and they can have it shipped to a local yard
  8. the o/d light usually flashes when the t/c has a problem such as not disengaging now you say he fixed it ? did he repair the old unit? get a rebuilt one? or rebuild your old one? it may be a simple plug unplugged or if rebuilt it may be a camry one which is similar but it should contain a different valve body
  9. after rereading this it is definatly the throttle being blocked as it is only when wram already as when the engine is cold it automatically keeps the plate open to ingest more air at cold start up
  10. i would say the throttle body and plate need cleaning as buid up of carbon and varnish buildup buy a 5 dollar can and spray it while the engine is running reving it with the intake removed for direct acess also if it is this the idle may be alittle unstable with this kind of blockage
  11. has anyone checker to see if it is a simple connection bad behind the lcd rather than the lcd?
  12. glad to help even though none of us suggested it though lol thanks for updating the problem with a solution though this becomes very helpful for all wish everyone could update with there solutions it would sure save alot of people money on lexus diagnosis $$$$$
  13. silver stars all the way cool blue are the lower version of them and are ok the silver stars take a week of use to look white not blue blue bulbs are crap and useless only for show of saying i have hid's
  14. you know what it might be possible i haven't looked at the stock ones in ages but the yellow is less reflective than white for actual fog just as a thought
  15. from the sounds of it you have until 2005 for a new design
  16. just go to a local muffler shop and get 2.5 inch stainless steel when you find a muffler style and tip you want that is the cheapest and easiest way
  17. i agree i though it might be some kind of !Removed! when i read the header some kind of explaination as to whaat or who these people are would be great maybe he uploaded the wrong picture and forgot to look after he posted of maybe its a lexus spy trying to sabotage the site lmao i am a nut :magic:
  18. there are a few wrecking yards across the country that have es 300 parts you didn't say the year but i am guessing 92-96 which is easier to get used parts for most any web site for wrecking or salvage yards are all connected so when you do a search on their web site it really is a national server with a different skin for the front pages good luck p.s. the camry is the same car but the seats are not real leather so don't get the v6 le one thinking it is the same material
  19. i can't remember if you have an overdrive button on the shift knob is not then there are a few option if there is one then there are only a couple of them mainly a company called levloc they make some shift knobs but i find them very big and ugly don't match with the car but atleast have a button is yours that worn out?
  20. i dopn't think anyone would object it is your car and you could put fairy and disco lights for all it matters but i think you meant for fitment i am not sure as i changed my es speakers in 98 i know 6x9 fit well goodluck and hope this helps
  21. 10 of the 12 speakers in my es are Mc intosh ( no not the computer people) the other 2 are mb quart competition highs all powered by 1 Mc amp only other mis match is the alpine head unit since Mc does not make lcd screens
  22. most of the head room is taken up by the sun roof it will then sit vey low inorder to put it as a drop down most screens and probably look out of place it will however fit right into the headrest as it already has space just need to fabric the open other side or place them in your visors and lose the mirrors
  23. i am guessing you have an es but i can't guess what year actually the stock amp for most es 300 are under the passenger frnt seat the deck will also work with out the amp( just loses a beep noise when buttons are pressed as i have used mine old head unit with out the amp for 3 years the tweeters in the sail fins are easy to remove just one bolt beind them to unscrew the panel pops towards you to remove unless you speak of the ones in the corner of the dash called squakers they are useless to replace so don't
  24. ì just replaced my stock deck with an alpine fold out unit and new face bezel plate to mount it but i have a 94 es 300
