  1. ok let me know lay this out the best i can.i go to new york every weekend friday through tuesday.my car sits in a bus station park and ride for those days.when i come back tuesday evening.my car hesitates to start,when it does.i put the car in drive and start to move in which she hesitates and does not accelerate normally when i hit the gas.its running but doesnt accelerate with any powe.rthis last time i was blowing smoke out of the exhaust.after about 3-5 minutes round the parking lot it starts to drive again back to normal.if i drive the car everyday this doesnt happen its only when i leave the car for a few days sitting.anyone have any suggestions or experience with this problem?any and all help is much appreciated thank you

  2. hi i have a question/problem for the experts.i was taking my tire off of my 93 es300 to change and i noticed the bottom of my strut tower is really close to the top of my tire.ive had metal adjustable spacers inside the coil since i bought it from the owner he had them on there i have no idea why.they were close to the bottom of the coil so i spun them higher up to like the 3rd or 4th ring of the spring.hoping maybe it will put the pressureon the top and then the bottom will compress more so it wont be so close to the tire.has anyone had this happen with the strut tower being so close to the tire??does anyone have any advice??im afraid of this problem thanx

  3. hi clubbers simple question.my steering wheel on my 93 es300 is completely worn out and torn on the top due to the really hot weather this summer.it was wearing little by little but now its shot on top.now of course i can buy a steering wheel cover,but i really hate how cheap it looks and how bulky looking on the wheel they are.i really love the sleek look of the original steering wheel.now id love to find a really tight wrap type cover.but have never seen any.ive also seen a leather wrap on ebay that you can lace up yourself.does anyone have any suggestions or options they've used or seen.any and all suggestions are much appreciated thanx

  4. im going to get my spark plugs and wires changed in my 93 es300.dont know when the last owner had them changed them.so im going to have my mechanic change them.my question is since this is my first time changing them on my lexus what are the best kind to use? brands?type? if anyone has any suggestions or opinions on the type they used for there es300 id love to hear im kind of in the dark with these engines.ive never dealt with them before thanx for any help

  5. haha no i dont believe something in the trunk is the cause.when i get to a complete stop for a red light or stop sign.then i accelerate from the stop i feel a thump coming from the front end.almost feels like im running over a bump everytime i accelerate from a stop this occurs over and over again but only when accelerating from a stop.

    Something in the trunk? We really need a better explaination to get to the bottom of this...
