    Replacement Stereo

    I'm looking at buying a new subwoofer at least for the car, my problem is the proprietary setup, as this is my DIY car, i'd like a bit of advice, would replacing the sub alone do the job? or would it be better to buy a new amplifier as well... really i'm looking for any advice on how to make my...

    Cigarrette light 12V outlet is dead?

    I had it die before, and it was just the fuses above the parking break. if it's not there, then it would have to be a wiring fault. I'd say maybe pigy-back it off of the second cigarette lighter -- again though I'm an amateur, take what i say with a grain of salt.

    Door

    Well, next day has come and guess what? It's all good now, the doors seemed to release and it's all okay now... must have just been far too cold, so if this happens to anybody else, just let the car warm up, and it should be okay!

    Door

    Please help, SC400 low rpm

    How old is your battery? I'm not a pro at this here, but i found that a bad battery made my car refuse to rev high... (could just be a coincidence though) if you're using regular gas too, that could cause an issue these are just things that i've noticed to cause problems with it

    90 LS400 Smoke Issue/PS Fluid Loss; HELP!

    I've had this problem myself, twice, with two different problems. 1) If it is leaking then check your alternator as it could kill the alt 2) if it is a new one, make sure that the connection to the hose is properly stripped and has a full seal

    Battery

    Well, i've been away for a month and a half and my battery is dead in my 94 LS400. I jumped the car and drove it for a bit, long enough to warm it up and what certainly seemed like long enough to charge the battery. the car again wasn't driven fro about another two weeks and the battery was...

    Sudden gas mileage decrease after long idle!

    really there's not THAT much of a difference idleing and driving at a slow cruise... nothing should have happened there... the octane rating could easily have been too low in that gas, or something like that.

    Loud Whine: Alt or PS?

    personal experience with that noise (as i've had powersteering and alt ****) the power steering in my experience is only whiny when turning the wheels as that's when the pump is being used before my alt exploded (not literally of course) it sounded again really whiny and that was as soon as...

    so my traction control light has been on for a few months

    the crap on your radio is im betting the anti theft system. you should have a code that you type in (numericly) to fix that (or that's what happened with me in a BMW, so i can only imagine this is the same)

    1991 LS400 Dies after gas pedal pushed down

    The trac system may go off of your alt is putting out less power then normal. and yeah as said above black smoke means an incomplete burn wich is why you're using up so much fuel.
