Okay here comes a long one..I have a 1993 GS300...some time ago I noticed that when I hit the brakes in my car I would sort of loose power in the car....couple months later I could no longer shift the car from park without using the manual override button. I checked the fuse for the brakes and "bam" the tip of the brake fuse was brunt. So I change the fuse and all seemed well, 2 months later same problems, removed the brake fuse and the ends are brunt. Lately I noticed that the emergency brake light has been staying on......This morning I'm driving, hit the brakes and lose all power to the car, removed the brake fuse completly and all is well......WTF?

so I got my car back friday, and according to my mechanic the putting problem was a bad injector....just seems a little co-winch-sidental, that my car overhead and then it started putting.......But now I am *BLEEP*ed that I spent $700 for the tune up and the vavle cover gasket and it turned out to be an injector " which he didn't charge me to fix"

I agree....The problem that I have is, so far I am $850.00 in...And that $850 still hasn't fixed the problem. I feel that since I paid this bill on a Credit Card that I have some leverage. I don't want to do that but I feel that his diagnosis was wrong, and I put out $850 for nothing. So he owes me something. I would hate to have to get rid of the car, but what can you possibly get for a 93 gs with 160k with a possible engine problems.

Check engine light has never come on. He just called and said he thinks it's a bad injector. Because the putting stops once the car is warmed up. The only reason I think the head is warped is because it overheated. There was never any signs of head gasket breach before.....I hope he is right about the injector....Can't a compression test tell if the head is bad?

Oh boy things go from back to worse......I let me mechanic do the tune up and vavle cover....the price hurt me but I wanted my car back......so I go to pick the car up and no more than 2 blocks away the car starts putting. The car putts at very low speeds, under 20mph...also putts when I am at a complete stop.....I take the car back to him this morning, and I am *BLEEP*ed cause I just paid the mechanic $700 + to fix the car, and I know he is going to call me back and tell me the heads are warped..........I specifically asked him when I took the car there is head warping could be the problem, since the car had recently overheated. But he said noooooooo......so I think now that he misdiagnoised it, he should fix the problem for free.

Car started putting this morning....Took it to my mechanic and he said I need a tune-up and vavle cover gasket...total price $700.00....Damn.....so I have done tune ups before and I have also replaced vavle cover gaskets....just wondering if there is a picture instructions on how to do either one of these.

thanks for the info......although that rockauto part is only for 2002-2005....so I may have to go to the dealer. this is going to cost me!

My gs300 starting over heating on a 20 min trip to the store. I noticed some white smoke coming out of the hood of my car. I took it to my mechanic today and he said it's the heater core....I didn't know that the heater core could overheat my car. I also wanted to know where I could possibly buy an aftermarket one?

wrapping the seats in my car is going to cost over $1000.00....these seats will maybe cost me $500.00....will they fit in my 93 gs300

THERE IS A JUNK YARD THAT HAS SEATS FROM A 1998 GS300, i HAVE A 1993 GS300, I WAS WONDERING IF THE SEATS WILL FIT IN MY 93?

ball joints broke, damn, should have gotten it fixed

I have 93 gs300....when driving it lately it just doesn't seem right.....when I make a left turn I hear a loud sweeking sound, also I noticed that when turning my steering wheel no longer returns itself, when breaking the car is starting to pull to the left?????? I think it be the control arm?

temp needle seems to be working fine but I did notice that my rad fan has been coming on allot more than normal.

not losing anti freeze, recently had radiator, hoses and thermostat replaced......I put antifreeze in thinking that would fix the problem.

1993 GS300, Turn on the heat works fine, after about 10 mins heat goes cold, 10 minutes later heat goes back to hot? now I am just estimatimg the 10 mins but heat is hot then cold then hot......I added anti freeze yesterday, but still have the same problem??????
