Winter is here and the heater only works when on the highway or when the engine is at high RPMs (>3k). Any other time it just blow air. If I push the temp knob and turn the system to auto, the lcd turns on but the fan stays off. Then if by chance I take the highway instead of going thru...

I replaced the ecu today, and she started right up like nothing was ever wrong. But under slight acceleration or load like going up a hill, it seems like she's skipping like all the cylinders stop firing for half a second. Or almost like the tranny is slipping then catching very quickly. If I...

So I haven't been driving my SC for about a year now. After having 3 shops tell me they can't find anything wrong with it, I finally took it to a dealership to figure out what was wrong with it. Turns out its the ECU, like I suspected all along. So, before I pop in a new one. Is there...

OK just got my car back from the mechanic, had the front suspension fixed and aligned. Got it out on the road for a bit to try it out, noticed a burned electronics smell (solder, burning fiber glass and plastic). Radio wasn't working right, was making weird noises, then nothing. Turns on...

anyone got one? apparently its the next part on my car that needs to be replaced

For the last few months I've been taking my 92 sc400 to mechanic after mechanic, after mechanic, with no one able to figure out whats wrong with my car. The current mechanic says its the IAC causing all the problems I do not think the IAC will cause the cause the engine to hesitate under...

I have a 92 1uzfe sc400 up for grabs 193k Its beat up in a few places. Backed into 4 separate times, 3 of which are on the same rear quarter panel. And once into the hood. I've given up with trying to diagnose the problem with this car I've taken it to mechanic after mechanic with no...

a few weeks back i found the knock sensor broken (as seen below) ive glued it back together and i havent noticed any problems as of yet but i have a feeling that someday it will come off, when that time comes what should i look out for?

so ive spent i dont know how many hours replacing the starter, and i finally get everything together and as soon as i connect the battery the damn thing starts to turn over, by its self, with keys still in my hand!!!! i know ive read another post where this happened to someone else, but i...

In the process of replacing my starter I found this broken, not sure how it got that way, I figured I'd just glue it back together. But what is it? When I originally noticed this (below) it had a small rubber hose connecting one tube to the next, at some point it fell off but I...

92 sc400 if i rev up around 2k rpm the engine will die down to around idle rpms, hesitate, then rev back up. it hesitates when accelerating, idle rpms jump up and down. at higher rpms it seems fine replaced with new: water pump and timing belt, spark plugs and wires, coils, iac, battery. im...
