Oh sorry, the TPS was set wrong.

Solved.

Hi guys I'm hoping you can help me with this one.

Cleaned out the throttle body on my MK3 it was terrible.

Ive put all back on and now it is hunting and back firing plus a lot of water out of the tail pipes any clues please as I need it for tomorrow?

Cheers Jim, yeah meant to delete the part about the fog light but forgot

Does anyone know if you can replace the bulbs in the electric window switches as mine are really dull, and also the rear fog light switch is this illuminated as mine works fine but the headlight adjuster is lit up but not the fog light switch.

Personally, I prefer the rear light configuration used in the U.K. and Europe -- better contrast when the brake is applied. I thought about converting the taillights to work similar to the German-spec but don't know if I could keep the bulb-out warning sensor working. I've always thought the US spec LS400 rear end looks like a Christmas tree -- way too bright.

See now I think your spec lights look far better than mine as I think the UK spec look as if most of your bulbs have gone,so really then I would only have to change the ones in the rear quarter panel with some US spec lenses and part of the loom because as you lot have said I might run in to some problems with the fog lights in the trunk.

Thanks for the help with this and I'll be back to this after the holidays so might call on you lot for some more advice.

Have a good Christmas

The rear lights on the UK model lets be honest are crap when lit all you have are the single bulbs down low at each corner (see pic,sorry about quality) and I would like to up grade them and I what I would like to know is what does the US version lights look like when on.

Try cleaning the Throttle body out as I had the same problem with my LS and this was the culprit.

Cleaning Throttle Body

Thanks Guys,and yes the rear seats are heated.

Have a check and clean your MAF sensor connector.

I use These people

and I find them great and I'm in the UK.

Any pictures of this rare find?

My new 1996 Series 3 LS400 and I didn't think they could improve on my old Series 1 but I was wrong.

The headlamp washer doesn't work on my 92 LS400,but I cant find the fuse in the fuse box by the steering column,on the cover I have a fuse location for a 30A that says P/W which I presume is Power Wash but cant find the fuse,or can anyone tell me where the motor is?

PS-I was able ot find these bulbs for $2 something online. Anyone interested or needs them let me know and I will email you the link. Kind of weird to get to so I am too cool to post!

Cheers ED,that's the one and yes I did get some thanks,can you send me the link for the bulbs

ive seen threads about this before, it a big pain to remove all the covers to get to those bulbs, but they can be replaced. i think you can just buy a new bulb and solder it yourself if you have enough skills. i might be wrong thought, you are better off searching the forum for this problem.:)

Took it all out and yes you can replace the bulbs,they are in a small holder twist and remove.

Thanks for the help

A little more detail would help this question immensely.

What side lights? There usually is a tiny little bulb in the switch. It may just be coincidence.

If you could post just a tad more info though I'm sure it will help get to the bottom of this a lot faster, and more efficiently! :)

This is what happens when you copy and paste your post from the UK forum,it's the first click stop on the light switch over here we call them side lights,you in America call them parking/marker lights,when you put them on the radio,LCD's and the shifter lights up but my left hand heated seat switch doesn't but the LED bulb does.

I hope makes this clearer for you,so can I replace just the small bulb and leave the LED or do i need to replace the whole switch

I put my side lights on today and one of the heated seat switches wont illuminate up, but when you push them in the indication light comes on to let you know the heaters are on,can you replace the bulbs in the switch or is a new switch needed.

Mmmmm I'd like a web cam and Internet link to IS400's cabin on those special days ,when I say special days living in the UK,I mean days where its hot and sunny!!! :D

Or if I couldn't have that,then a supercharger and active damping so I could keep up with CLS65's and or S65's.

Thanks Thomas.

Hi from England

As the topic says I'm wondering if anybody on here would know if a set of front and rear seats (more so the rears) from a 1996 MK3 will fit into a 1992 MK1 ?

Thanks
