03 LC 100 series 260k Well it’s cold here in TN. this is the second, most notable experience for me with my traction control light blinking. Both times it was a very cold morning trip to the gym, however today I had beeps and flashes the whole trip back home. I could feel it in the front...

Thank you - ill report back with what we find.

Back to the drawing board: Trying to get my LC together before I put it up for sale - got a good opportunity on a Lexus LX 470 that im going to take. I am trying to break even so I think its critical I get the heat/ac fixed. Issue: Front AC/Heat not blowing on my LC 100, 03' 250K. I had this...

Greetings, I got a good offer from a family member to purchase an 06 LX 470 with 150K miles for around $10K. regularly maintained, rides well and only one potential issue. Much more details to dive into. The purchase of this vehicle will require me to sell my 03' LC which has 250K miles on it...

Lol as I was driving my vehicle to a trusted Toyota shop in town this morning, I noticed my Check engine light was not on. I dont know if a 45 degree morning stopped it from coming on or what, but we will find out.

This makes a lot of sense to me. I whiffed on looking into this initially because the carfax was checking out for what I researched on what to look for when buying a LC. But What a learning experience its been since then. So far I have had my front AC quit blowing cold (replaced compressor &...

Heilcoil install was a success, as in they did not need to install a new head and i dont have that error code any more. Its been 4 days since I picked up my LC, and now, I have a new error code. P0430! I replaced one of my Cat Con Banks earlier this year, cant remember which one off top of my...

Got an update, and it should not come as a surprise, Dealership said they could install a heilcoil or timesert. $500 job. They also had two other things to share for me. They mentioned 2 valve covers were leaking fairly bad and that I had the wrong sized tires. When i bought the LC in feb...

I do have two questions that would help me get level headed also if someone can answer these: 1. how effective is the heil coil replacement? (i.e. what are the odds I would have to do this again) 2. What would be the situation(s) where a hell coil replacement would not work and you would need...

So I picked up my LC from the initial mechanic I saw friday- I have to drive it monday night to the closest Toyota dealership. As scheduled now. They wont be able to look at it till Tuesday. So its intact, but the issue has not been resolved. The person I spoke with at Toyota & the mechanic...

How should i go about that?

Alright so here we go: Took it to the shop this morning. Looks like the spark plug "shot out the engine". and they can not do anything so they referred to me the dealership... He told me a coil would need to be replaced in the bottom of the cylinder because a new spark plug so it can thread...

Heres the code I got: P0303 its saying cylinder 3 is misfiring. Hoping its a cheaper fix either for coils or spark plug. Im planning to drop it off tomorrow at some point, anything thoughts before so?

i hope that is all that need to happen!

will do
