I had the same problem with my SC400 back in July, July 10th to be exact, because i remember it was the day before the new iPhone debut. :P Anyway, yeah, my starter was the issue, not sure what exactly went wrong with the starter, but that was also the first thing that ever broke on my car and that was at 162,xxx miles. A few times in the months prior, it would just click, click, click really fast but eventually it always ended up cranking and starting. Then one day it wouldnt start. :( These cars are virtually perfectly, though, IMHO... Having one thing wrong in the, now, 164,xxx miles is very impressive. Jason

'fraid so... :P Jason

That sounds awefully expensive... lol Jason

ttt What head units have you guys used in your cars if you dont have stock? Jason

Well, the car is on its way to the shop. I managed to get the car out of park. I had to push the shift-lock override button down real hard until it finally came out of park. Usually pressing that doesnt even help. So i have no clue what the problem is, hopefully my mechanic figures it out. Thanks for you help guys. Jason

That sounds about like normal range on a tank of gas to me. I get about 13mpg in the winter, and about 19 in the summer. If i drive straight highway i can manage 24... sometimes. I would possibly check your thermostat. It may be reading that the engine is cool and dumping more fuel in to compensate. Does your car smell like gas at all when you stand behind it while its running? Jason

I just checked out that article on clublexus.com... well the first picture where he's pulling the shifter off, it says "must not be in park" and thats my problem. I can't get it out of park. Anyone know how to get that cover off with it in park??? Jason

Thanks a lot for the help guys! I have an appointment with my mechanic on wednesday to get it fixed, but if i can fix it before that by just cleaning off the soda i'd be very happy and could save some $$$. :D Would that be the same noise that i hear when i press the brake pedal anytime when the car is off? I always heard a faint click when the car was off when i pressed the break, i always assumed it was the sound of whatever turned the brake lights on. (not the sound of the actual lights, lol, but whatever switch controls it) Thanks! Jason

I was just wondering where i could purchase an aftermarket head unit that will fit a '92 SC400. Jason

They never made a 5-speed SC400, did they??? Jason

Got a '92 SC400. Bought a newer, more practical car and i hate it! Needless to say im going back to my SC400! I love it! Jason

My '92 sc400 only has an airbag on the drivers side. Jason

Haha, thats kind of funny... I missed the last few lines of your last post, and i basically repeated everything you just said. Sorry! haha Jason
