I have a 1990 Lexus Ls400. I just got this problem where my door cylinder gets stuck, I left the door unlocked and my dad happened to notice, thinking he was doing me a favor he locked my car...So I called a locksmith got the car open and now my car wont turn on! Ignition key turns all the way, battery is fine, but it will not start! The button for the door locks will not work either so I'm guessing this is anti-theft problem right? I dont know so I need help, if anyone has any idea about this can you help? Thank You. :(

Great another problem with my car, my speedometer is not working? How do I fix this without spending lots of money?

I'm actually gonna have to spend $60 bucks to buy the obd1. I called all the auto zones around my house and they all said the same thing. We don't perform that anymore, and I asked who does they said call a mechanic. <_<

THEY DONT DO IT ANYMORE! :chairshot: THAT SUCKS. NOW I HAVE TO PAY AN EXTRA 60 BUCKS TO GO TO A MECH.

Thanks! :)

No. the a/c doesn't blow cold air. I think that may be it...but to be sure Im going to check the engine codes. Thanks!

The car is drivable but theres hot air coming from the driver side vent. It worries me that the car will over heat.

Which auto store would you suggest?

Yes the check engine light is on, it goes on and off...sometimes it doesnt turn on. <_< By transmission stuck I mean that the car would not accelerate.... The power was not lost. The temperture gauge was only half way....but for some reason there was smoke?? Any ideas?? The new water pump and the current problem may not be related, just coincidental. Was it smoke (like something was on fire from a fuel leak), oil on something hot (like a transmission cooling tube putting transmission fluid on the hot bits), or was it steam (like hot coolant leaking)? What did it smell like? I broke a fan belt (in the old says when there was a fan belt) once and the broken part whipped around and snatched the transmission cooling tubes out of the radiator--it looked like a NASCAR racer with a solid sheet of smoke out the back. Needless to say, the transmission lost the ability to transmiss. Don't know what your problem is, but I'm thinking it isn't that water pump install. Good luck! It was like steam but it smelled like something burnt.
