Hi All, '97 LX450 w/403k miles and no maintenance history before 370k mi. It's been a great vehicle so far.
I'm getting a:
P0401 exhaust gas recirculation flow insufficient detected error, followed by a
P0130 Bank 1 Sensor 1 error (details attached)
Question - What are the chances that the...
When I bought my 450 I didn't care for the look of the spoiler and removed it. Turns out not a moment too soon, as I found significant rust underneath both mounts.
Is there an easily accessible wire under the dash that I can use to disable the '80s ignition? I'm thinking of putting a hidden switch somewhere as an additional measure of theft prevention. The shift/selector position circuitry seems to be a good candidate, but is there something more...
Just confirming, is it 52mm OD x 30mm ID x 22mm W? I see this called out in the '100 series, but I'm sure I've seen it mentioned somewhere for the Denso in the 80s as well.
Thanks
This was a really good thread.. I'd gotten to the end of the first page and I'm like, "Wait..is that all there is? DOES IT END UNNSOLVED??" Then I noticed the second page..
ih8mud is incredible. I just got stuck w/the same shifter issue in the driveway this morning and the first thread search offered up (this one) solved it. For me it was the fuse. I used my trailer yesterday and I'll bet the funky wiring on the trailer caused the issue. Thanks all for maintaining...
Just a post-repair followup. Here's the bad No. 1 heater bypass hose w/the 2” split in it. The rupture is at the 12 o'clock position (which makes sense, since the head's heat is continually radiating downward onto it:

Hi all - terrible day all around so far and I’m hoping for some inspired guidance here.. I’ll try to give you all the Relevant details/data but I’m typing this on my phone so..
Ok, 97 lx450, bought 6 months ago. Runs perfectly, 380k miles. No repair history came with vehicle. No idea if the...
Will flush it as suggested and will see if that's the end of it.
re: Checking differential lubricant levels - I really appreciate Toyota making the rear/front diff and transfer case fill bolts all 17mm. On a Jaguar it would be 16mm/18mm and 7/8" (both diffs were about a quart low) 3.5 quarts...
OK, I see the Rear axle vent line BILT4ME's referencing - that's not it:

Man, metaphorically and literally, LC's have a lot of moving parts (not comparing it to a Jag yet, but..)! So, the gas tank's in the middle of the chassis? The only thing I can think of...
