SOUNDS LIKE IT MIGHT BE A BROKEN ROD .

Eva system. I'm guessing a PCV needs cleaned or replaced. Sometimes the gromet that it sites in gets briddle and cracks and you can lose vapors that way also

My first thought is to check charging system on the vehicle. I see all the new parts, but, if problem on wiring circuit somewhere, it may not charge? I don't know what testing you have done? Any applicable trouble codes? Where I live some of the national brand auto stores will check po codes for free, if there are any. Sometimes they will make house calls, I don't know what they charge? Can you do some testing with a digital multimeter, for your charging system?

I wd ask a reliable mechanic, not the dealer, your question. (I just upgraded my '95 Odyssey to a '96. The instrument cluster was not working, so it got removed, wholesale. Takes a minute or two, and then shipped to the East Coast for a complete re-wiring. Very reliable company!) If Anything on dash is working, this is not your problem. It could be a wiring problem. It turns out everything eats wiring because they lubricate cables with Peanut oil (WTF?), and mice, rats, and squirrels can smell it! No matter the age, once rodents find your wires, they just chomp away, and in a single night, can stop lots of things, no matter the age or location of your vehicle. (Hubby keeps a box of rat bait on the firewall of my '55 Packard.) You need to find, by asking friends, the name of an honest mechanic, who will not charge to ask questions. Good luck.

Continues try to move steering wheel back and forth while at same time trying to wiggle the ignition. This worked for me

Well even though you had the rotors turned, they still could be warped and causing the car to shake at a high rate of speed when the brakes are applied. My suggestion is to replace the rotors asap.

You have to take apart entire front of your engine and take timing belt off, so your best bet is to replace water pump, all pulleys, timing belt and all oil seals in one shot.

Hi James: Don't know if there's a really formal way, but here's what I've always done: - 4 "corners" closest to the crank. Gently progressively snug them to lift the pan squarely against the block. - all the rest - turn in until they barely touch the pan, then gently snug them to about how the first four were. THEN, starting at the centre, tighten out to the ends, one end at a time. - I'm pretty sure there may be at least a dozen different people who may do it slightly differently, but THE MOST IMPORTANT PART (except for not forgetting the gasket) is to get it SQUARE to the block to start with. Cheers:

Is the car lowered? mine does that too but is has 1.4 inch lowering springs. i readjusted the hight of the lights manually and they work fine now.

it could be the TPS.. try cleaning the intake with B12 chemtool or seafoam..

It is a plug-and-play accessory, and should not require any "reprogramming." If it is not functioning, it should be repaired or replaced.

probly need a replacement-they wear and inexpensiv--othr things like the idle motor or throttlbody need maintenanc tu--a repair manual is nice but a lexus is a complex vehicle--may want to unplug computer then reconnect cause some of the pins get misaliined and dirty creating electric issues--a scan just gives a general idea--to b specific a data stream shud b run--code machines often are used to sell parts

yes the solenoid will solve this problem due to the fact that if it is not opening on time it is not creating pressure in the right clutch and valve on the tiptronic system
