    what 98 rims? any es rim will fit another ,as all Lexus have the same bolt pattern and hub bore as well as offsets of 40-45 on the LS models from 95 and up are specific.

    Sea foam it as the sensor may be varnished.

    It may be like the RX which if opened by remote it has to be closed by remote to be closed otherwise it is locked out.

    I think it is the theft system not being properly recognised by the key and not shutting down to allow it to start. Usually if the keys are reprogrammed it will stop . Do you have any other car keys on the key chain ?

    I would not worry by comparing it to MB's as they were a solid car but got caught in loss of sales and poor reliability by not getting better like other manufactures . Instead the rested on their laurels and it only got worse by adding new technologies to compound the reliability. I would still buy a analog or pre 98 MB as they are great. The new Lexus vehicles are just as good if not better by always raising the bar and not cutting corners. No worrying needed.

    d2 autosport will be able to set you up also. It has a Mercedes bolt pattern and needs a x factor or a rim with high disk clearance for the brakes , all can be easily accommodated once asked.

    It made it worse in what way. I sprayed a few quick shots into the XM adapter it came with around the wheels.

    Change your rad cap or look for a leak.

    soarer central a Australian based website on the soarer has all your answers.

    Well if both sides go down equally it is going to be a line or valves. If it was a bad shock only one side would go down. Find the leak then go from there.

    It is the IACV like it has been for the past 7 years with the 1mz-fe from 97. Clean it or replace it.

    Is it low oil or low oil pressure? I suppose you have the proper amount of oil?
  15. SKperformance
    Looks like it , are the wires in good shape? If not check and fix them , otherwise just buy a new sensor and mount it properly again.

    Also change your rad cap , costs nothing but the seal may be broken , take a quick look yourself.

    add some green slime from wal mart to the lines before the bags and it may stop it like it has for some. Otherwise spray some soapy water to find your leak

    It is not called a squib as that is what causes the airbag to go off or ignite it. Squibs are part of pyro technics or any explosive device as a trigger. What he meant to tell you is it is the clock spring . It is a self contained unit with a flat coil of wire like a ribbon. As you turn the wheel it gets tight and the other way it gets loose. When it snaps any controls on the wheel go dead. Horn air bag and cruise control. It is located behind the wheel once it is off.

    There is one person who was able to get an direct cable for his ipod by splicing his wiring to his cd changer and then adding a switch so when he plays a cd the audio comes from the ipod cable instead . I just use a tape adapter for mine if it keeps flicking on auto reverse get some silicone spray and spray the inside of the adapter as it is binding. It happened to me also until i did that and have had no problems for over a year since.

    The fix is to replace your tps sensor , most time it needs to then be calibrated at a dealership with their tool.

    use some oem ballasts from ebay then buy some rebased d2r bulbs as well to have a perfect kit for cheap.
  23. SKperformance
    The sensor behind the bumper is not connected or damaged. 22 degrees is the not connected reading.

    So the key turns but wont unlock the door latch? Do you see any movement inside the door when you turn it such as the lock knob moving? It may be someone tried to steal/tow the car and has bent the arm causing it to not move out of the locked position as well as re locking the passenger door as well. Does the alarm beep still or unlock the trunk?
