  1. Ok I'll get one tomorrow, Appeaciate....I'l be in touch to let you know what happends. pk
  2. Hi, George, I again verified when blowing on the center port, the only place the air comes out is the other left hand port, appling 12Volts made no difference at all. In no case could I get air to come out the filter. I'll perform this test again tonight when she gets home and I have a regulator in my air line. This resistor "egr temp sensor" you are calling it, the only thing I found that could be that is what they are calling "EGR Gas Temp Sensor" (see photo) I have not found a resistor (we may be talking about the same thing). I again measured this sensor and I get NO resistance, I checked the DVM at 2k, 20k 100k and still it shows open.
  3. WOW, it hard to work on this car when the wife works so long of hours. SO, I pulled a vacuum on the hose that goes to the top of the EGR Valve and sure enough the engine idles very rough and almost dies then goes back to good idle when I let loose the vacuum. EGR must be ok. I then red the voltage accross the EGR Gas Temperature sensor and at idle it is about 3.9 volts then as I increase the RPM it drops below 2 volts in about 30 seconds. It may be ok. I also read NO ohms accross it. Being a sensor there maybe should not be. I then check the Vacuume switching Valve (see photo) I get 1k ohms accross the leads on way then switch the leads and I get an open curcuit. I can not draw vacuum on either hose fittings weather I put voltage on it or not, I get air through it at both fittings, both ways. This may be the problem. Your turn!!.....just kidding. phil
  4. Hay this is great stuff George thanks. As a matter of fact I HAVE one of those hand held pump/vac I bought from Harbor F and have not used it for months. It's late here now and won't have time to perform the tests, but I will tomorrow and will keep in touch. Just need to locate the resister, I also have a Volt/Ohm meter no problem. pk
  5. Yea, At this point the question is, is there any other method Lexus uses to measure the EGR pressure and if there is should i test IT, or just change the EGR and hope for the best? pk
  6. Hay thanks for the quick reply... However on my 1995 ES300 I do not have that electrical unit on top of my EGR valve...see photo. I am STILL trying to find out where the ERG Position sensor located. If there is one on a 1995! Any help would be great. philipwk
  7. Where is the ERG Position sensor located? Got a photo? pk
  8. I have a 1995 Es300 and It is OBD2 there is a connector Left side of the dash where the fuses are right next to them. Problem is I have a P0402 code in mine and don't know if I should replace the EGR valve or do something else. Can any one advise....? phil
  9. Valve job complete BAD NEWS engine STILL smokes, after all that work, the engine still smokes and looses engine oil, about 1/4 qt every 100 miles. I have already eliminated the power steering fluid issue (unhooked the lines going to the valve and capped the niples) I am waiting for a few miles for the engine to settle down and then do a compression check. (again, did one before all this, it was good). How frustrating the engine only has 109,000 miles on it, how can it be rings? pk
  10. Doing a valve job, timing belt water pump, the works, to To fix the famous blue smoke issue. [1995 ES300] For a year now I have been keeping the oil toped off, checking it every other day, then every day, lately the enging started missing on number 2 cylinder. The cylinder has a burnt valve, I decided to do the valve job and all the rest, only because the wife loves this car! So far $390.00 for the valve job, resurfacing both heads and 4 new valves. They used the new valve seals from my $266.00 (upper) gasket kit. $75.00 for the water pump $145.00 for the timing belt kit. I am doing the valve adjustment myself or that would have cost an additional $300.00 When doing the valve job. The tensioner seams to be ok. If I knew how to put photos on this post I would. pk
