  1. Thank you so much. I have the roaming signal. It's not covered under the manual I had to re-program my LS430. I went to thiw web site and followed their instructions: http://www.homelink.com/training/train.taf Hey Blake! Yes it is. I got it yesterday. It had an awful and violent vibration at 80 MPH. I put on new tires and it is sooooo smooth. It goes in tomorrow for a timing belt and water pump. The only other fault is the hood shocks are out of gas. I think it is a sweet machine. When I drop this one off at Lexus I will pick up the old '91 which had a new ps pump and timing belt/water pump. They say it needs struts etc on the front end but that the rattling won't bother my son much and won't be critical for safety nor reliability. I will do the front end myslf sometime. I will take some pictures and post them. Take care. This wouldn't be Dean's neighbor's '99 would it?!?! :D
  2. So I've tried a number of times. It says to clear the old info; hold down the two outside buttons till they blink. Then, hold down the button you want to program for 20 sec. until it blinks. But mine blinks the whole time. Then, keep holding it down while pushing the door opener button until it blinks. But it never quit blinking in the first place. So, needless to say, it doesn't work. Help!
  3. My '91 has 212,000 miles on it now. The last timing belt was changed at 75,000. So that makes this one 137,000 miles old. I just had it changed two days ago. I sleep better at night, and drive more agressively as well.
  4. That is the funny part, there is no check engine light. And it runs great. I almost feel like saying "why do anything?" But I won't. I will just reattach the wires and see what happens. Thanks. I agree.
  5. I have a 1991 LS 400 with 212,000 miles on it. Getting the timing belt and the power steering pump done. (I already got the alternator replaced due to the leak). They say I hit the bottom of the car and crushed the protector over one of the oxygen sensors. The protector clipped the wires off of it. They can't believe the car still runs (and it runs as well as it ever did) but they want too much to fix it in my opinion. What do you think?
  6. Blake, I purchased a new fuel filter on line about two weeks ago when I bought my stuff to do the wires, distributor cap and rotor and the plugs. I read your post and was a bit dismayed that I would be wasting my time or my money putting it on the car. Well, I had the car in for tire rotation and asked the mechanic what he would charge to stick the filter on for me. He said he would pop it on for free. What a great relief. But to no benefit. 168,000 miles and I can tell no difference with the new filter. Well, I feel better anyway knowing it is clean and unclogged. Larry
  7. I broke the same hose about three weeks ago. I went into lexus and asked them what it was for. The blue thing is a temprature valve that opens the vacuum. It is part of the air emissions equipment. He said it wouldn't bother anything but I should fix it. He said that rather than pay for a new one, to take a small piece of the straw from a WD 40 can and glue it into each of the broken pieces, thereby putting them back together. The smaller diamater will not bother the vacuum he said.
