I think they were about $29.00 bucks apiece or less.

95LexLs400...thanks for your reply. I've solved the problem by replacing the brake sensor with a new one, the light went out and everything's fine. The sensors were fairly inexpensive on Ebay so I thought that was the way to go. Another question for you though, do you experience a "jerking"...

How do I reset the brake pad warning light? I have a 95 LS, replaced the pads, rotors and pad sensors, is there any way of resetting the warning light "without" going to the dealer for the reset? I know I can pull the bulb, but I want the sensor to work not just the light to go out. Thanks in...

Hi warm: Thanks for the reply. I've solved the problem! I found that my expansion tank was clogged up, which prevented the coolant from circulating throughout the system. I removed the coolant tank and thoroughly cleaned it out, it was clogged with silicone gasket sealant. You might have...

Thanks for the tips Steve, I'll keep you posted on my progress. By the way, strangely I've just discovered an unattached black elect wire in the sheath that contains the connector for the tps, I'm scratching my head because the connector has 6 wires that are already situated in the 6 connector...

Hi Steve, thanks for your reply. I've also used Sea Foam, but this BG 44K is touted as being the real deal. I may do a DIY cleaning my injectors (pressurized while in engine) with this stuff, they say it's what the dealers use. By the way, have you ever changed your fuel filter on the 1uz...

I've seen this a lot, can anyone shed any light on how effective it is, also how does it compare with Sea Foam. Thanks in advance. LS400GUY

Thanks Bushwacker for responding, I'll give it a try and get back to you. Thanks again. Cheers! LS400GUY

misfire codes 301 & 302 warm...I sympathize with your problems. I have a '95 LS400 that's been absolutely rock solid and I wouldn't trade it for a new one even if they gave it to me for free. My problem, I'm pulling codes 300, 301, & 302. Misfires in cyl's 1 & 2. I've ruled out ign coils...

I know this topic had to be discussed in earlier forums, but my concentration is now on the heater control valve located on the eng firewall. I will list the series of events and would like to know if other Lex-heads had similar problems. 1. First of all, does the heater cont. valve ever get...

Hey Glove: Good News!! It's a done deal, the problem was lining up the cams at the wrong timing mark. I've repositioned the cams to the original marks, fired it up and problem solved. THANKS again for your input, much appreciated so you won't have to go to the trouble of looking at your...

Thanks a bunch mate. Cheers!

Can anyone help me on this? One of the timing marks is noted with a "T"(I assume this is TDC), however the cams were lined up at a mark "before" the "T" mark when I removed the belt. Can anyone confirm which is the correct mark on the VVTI - '98 LS 400? Thanks in advance, although you're...

GLOVERMAN - I think I figured it out. When I first removed the timing belt, I noticed that both cams were lined up on another indicator mark, the one "before" "T" mark, but not on the "T" mark. When I put on the new belt, I moved the cams over to the "T" mark, could this be the source of my...

Thanks for the advice Glove, I didn't change the TB (throttle body), the TB I changed was the (Timing Belt:-). So far both cam pulleys line up at TDC with the crank, I will pull the RH cam cover and check the vvti timing mark since I did interfere with it originally. Would I be able to...

BTW, I did pull the front part of rh cam vvti, I didn't touch the seal or the gearing under the cam cover. There was a little oil coming out when I removed the center bolt. I did change the oil right after changing the timing belt. Like I said, it starts and runs beautifully during the 1st 8...

Hi Glove: Thanks for responding. What is the AFM & APS? Would the cam timing be a problem if the eng starts quickly and runs very smoothly and quietly during the 1st 10 mins. of eng warmup? My thinking is it would be erratic whether the eng is cold or hot if the timing is off, does that...

Thanks hiluxfan, I'm sure I had everything set on the tdc timing marks, otherwise the eng would not start and run so smoothly while cold, the problem occurs after eng warm up, I've just started a thread about the TPS being out of adjustment - especially if it activates after eng warmup. I'm...

Does anyone know if the TPS is only activated when the eng is warmed up? I think I may know why my vvti 1uz eng runs smoothly when it's cold, but idles erratically when it's warmed up. Here's my guess on what happened, while changing the timing belt, I pushed open the throttle valve by hand...
