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

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

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

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

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

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

has anyone checker to see if it is a simple connection bad behind the lcd rather than the lcd?

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 $$$$$

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

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

from the sounds of it you have until 2005 for a new design

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

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:

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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

look on the left stalk of the steering wheel

do you notice the headlight switch on the outer part

well a little more toward the wheel there is a small bezel wheel with a little light with its beam facing down

that is for the fog lights

they will only turn on if the headlights are all the way on

there are no rca's on your deck

true

the stock amp is inder the passenger front seat

also none on any newer oem

or any oem stereo that i know of

there are replacement face plates to place any deck you would like

you can have line adapters to change the speaker output to an rca one but will sound distorted if bought for 12 dollars

there are some that cost 150 and are beautiful i used them in my es before i changed the head

the speaker might be blown but unless you remove them or look under the parcel shelf to check them there is no way of knowing

i think he means which car in the over all pic beside the tent

of which car belongs to whomever it might be

and any mods they did

very nice tent pic though

it might have looked real nice with a gs like yours on 3 wheels steve

lol

i have aftermarket on my es they are great as you must already know over halogen bulbs

but the only way to get an oem sytem in a car is to sell your and buy a modle with that option

as you would need the headlights relays controllers computer bulbs ballasts rear suspension height sensor and a new engine harness to top off the job

almost every part is closing in on 1000 each

so cost about 10 grand maybe plus labour

i am actually going to be in edison new jersey this weekend
