Lexus ES

For a Lexus ES 300, it's recommended to use 5W-30 synthetic oil, which provides optimal protection and performance in various driving conditions. Always check the owner's manual for specific recommendations and to ensure compliance with any updates or changes in specifications. Additionally, using oil that meets the API (American Petroleum Institute) standards is advisable for the best results.

To replace the hood strut on a 2005 Lexus ES330, first, prop the hood open securely. Use a flathead screwdriver to carefully pry off the retaining clips or ball sockets from the old strut on both ends. Install the new strut by aligning it with the ball sockets and pushing it onto the balls until it clicks into place. Repeat for the other side if needed, and ensure the hood operates smoothly before removing the prop.

To reprogram a Lexus RX300 key fob, first, sit in the vehicle and close all doors. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "ON" position without starting the engine, then turn it back to "OFF." Repeat this process twice, then turn the ignition back to "ON" a final time. Press and hold the "lock" button on the key fob for a few seconds, and this should reprogram the fob. If this doesn't work, consult the owner's manual or a professional locksmith for assistance.

I've seen it done. You've gotta jack the car up, then jack the engine up (use wood against the oil pan so you don't bend the sucker up). Once you've got the stress off of the motor mount (right hand side of the car) you can undo the bolts. From there, if you jack the motor up a little, you should have just enough room to play. Jack up the engine? ...umm...just jacking the car up will do. Before you touch anything to do with the alternator, please remove the positive terminal from your battery...or will experience quite the ride. ;) Should be a few bolts and more or less self explanatory.

the problem is that the 30 amp fuse that on the junction block #1 has blown. j/b #1 is located on the side of the fuse panel on the drivers side of the interior. you'll need to remove the lower panels that are under the steering wheel and move the floor vents ductwork out of the way. you see three different fuses(the square type with the clear view covers). two are 40amp andone is 30amp. that should fix it. also make sure that you check the 20amp fuse in the engine compartment box if the interior lights are out as well.

I own a 98 Lexus ES 300. I struggled with the same issue. The problem was the EGR Valve. It is an emission part. The total part and installation was around $300.00. It was a little expensive, but it cured the problem and have not had any problems since then. Hope this helps. Mark

check the ground wire it may have a loose connection or it needs replacing, very inexpensive fix.

The 1999 Mitsubishi Galant features a 2.4-liter engine. This engine is an interference engine as determined by the manufacturer. This means that should the timing belt break or stretch past the limit of the tensioner, the valves will most likely hit the pistons, causing extreme engine damage. It takes four to five hours to change the timing belt and requires a special tensioner pulley wrench, which is available at a Mitsubishi dealer.

1.

Step 1

Disconnect the battery ground cable and lay it to the side. Do not allow it to touch metal. Raise the car and support it with jack stands. Remove the right front wheel using the lug wrench. Remove the right front fender splash guard using the appropriate size sockets.

2.

Step 2

Place the block of wood on the floor jack. Operate the jack until the wood just touches the bottom of the engine, supporting the engine. Remove the engine mount bracket using the appropriate socket.

3.

Step 3

Loosen the alternator support nut and the adjuster lock bolt. Rotate the adjuster bolt counterclockwise, releasing tension on the alternator belt. Remove the belt. To remove the power steering belt, loosen the adjusting bolt and the fixed bolt in the slider bracket. Push the pump inward to loosen the tension on the belt. Remove the belt. To remove the air conditioning belt, push the tensioner pulley away from the belt, then lift the belt off the pulleys.

4.

Step 4

Remove the accessory belt tensioner and pulley, water pump pulley, crankshaft pulley bolt and pulley and the timing belt upper and lower covers using the appropriate sockets. Turn the crankshaft clockwise until the pointer on the camshaft sprocket is at the dot on the cylinder heat at the 12 o'clock position, the dot on the oil pump sprocket is lined up with the dot on the block at the 11 o'clock position and the dot on the crankshaft sprocket is lined up with the dot on the block at the 10 o'clock position. You may have to turn the engine via the crankshaft two revolutions to get all the marks to line up.

5.

Step 5

Remove the auto tensioner using a socket. Lift the timing belt off the sprockets. Remove the timing belt tensioner pulley bolt using a socket. Pull the tensioner pulley off. Rotate the tensioner pulley by hand to ensure that it rotates smoothly. If not, then replace it.

6.

Step 6

Compress the auto tensioner pushrod into the auto tensioner using a vise, until the hole in the pushrod lines up with the hole in the auto tensioner body. Stick an Allen wrench in the holes to hold the pushrod in the auto tensioner. Remove the auto tensioner from the vise. Install the auto tensioner using a socket. Tighten the bolts to 17 foot pounds of torque. Install the tensioner pulley.

7.

Step 7

Check the timing marks to ensure all three are still lined up. Install the timing belt, starting at the crankshaft pulley and working counterclockwise. Keep the belt tight on the non-tensioned side (the right side, when looking down at the engine). Turn the tensioner pulley counterclockwise so that it applies tension to the belt.

8.

Step 8

Turn the crankshaft 90 degrees counterclockwise, then 90 degrees clockwise. Check the timing marks to ensure they are lined up. Loosen the tensioner bolt. Attach special tool MD 998752-01 and the torque wrench to the tensioner pulley. Set the torque wrench to 30 foot pounds of torque. Apply torque counterclockwise to 30 foot pounds. Hold the pulley to keep it from moving. Apply an additional 35 foot pounds of torque to the bolt.

9.

Step 9

Remove the Allen wrench from the auto tensioner. Turn the crankshaft clockwise two turns. Let the vehicle sit for 15 minutes (without touching anything). Measure the pushrod protrusion. It should be .15 to .18 inches. If not, loosen the tensioner pulley, then turn it clockwise so that it applies tension to the belt. Repeat Steps 8 and 9.

10.

Step 10

Install the rest of the parts in reverse order of removal. Torque the crankshaft pulley bolt to 18 foot pounds of torque.
