It's a common problem for early 90's sc400 & ls400. A manufacturing company, Cardone, used to rebuild them and wholesale them to auto-parts stores, where you could pick them up for $60. But either they are too old now and no longer in demand or Lexus has convinced Cardone to stop offering them at 94% less than a dealer charges because Cardone no longer rebuilds them.

Your cheapest route is to find a used one and hope it works. Call salvage yards first if you want. But, older sc400 and ls400 are hard to find in salvage yards. I ultimately got mine off eBay for a total of $50. It was pulled from a 92 ls400 in a salvage yard in Los Angeles. You don't need the whole housing (cast aluminum stuff), all that goes bad is the sensor on top. I found a lot of auctions selling the big part with the sensor on it. I repeat- all you need is the sensor. You may be able to save a few bucks bidding on the auction with only the sensor because the others bidding on the complete unit may think they need the complete unit.

It's simple to change. Three screws on top, unplug the wire, and pull it out. Pull yours to look at it so you know what your looking for. You can cross-reference any Lexus V-8 from early 90's. That's the sc400 & ls400. They have the same motor, 1UZ-FE. Try using these key words on eBay or Google to help you find one: mass air sensor, mass air meter, intake air meter (sensor), 1uz-fe mass, 22204-42011, & FMZ3AYY2.
