    Land Cruisers Direct Status?

    I think the article gives a good idea of what’s up.

    Transmission noise when downshifting/ Kick down.

    Mine does the exact same thing. 97 LX450. I’m also missing a knock sensor (possibly coincidentally?). I don’t have a code for the knock sensor though.

    Knock or normal?

    I know it’s been a few months since I’ve responded to this thread, but I thought I’d update it. I finally got around to replacing the power steering pump gear. I did use the wits end tool to install the new gear and torqued everything to spec. Sure enough, no noise! However, I did do an oil...

    Let's baseline my grandma's neglected, (20 year old to us) 1997 LX450

    Throttle body cleaner will not be enough for the upper intake manifold. Even soaking it in simple green wasn’t enough for me, had to pressure wash it afterwards to get the 25 years of carbon buildup off. as for the throttle body… simple green spray, throttle body cleaner and a brush were...

    SOLD Wanted any location, 1997 collectors/40th anniversary 80 series, low miles, no rust

    For that price I’d look at Bring a trailer. Watch and wait.

    Let's baseline my grandma's neglected, (20 year old to us) 1997 LX450

    No, I cleaned the throttle body by hand. I didn’t order the lines from Toyota, I got all the correct line sizes from a Honda dealership I work for. Everything went together well.

    Let's baseline my grandma's neglected, (20 year old to us) 1997 LX450

    Worked fine for me. Just diluted it 1:1 and didn’t leave it in for too long.

    Let's baseline my grandma's neglected, (20 year old to us) 1997 LX450

    Just curious as to why you didn’t want to remove the upper intake manifold? I just did that with my LX after getting the P0401 code. I took the upper intake manifold off, soaked it in simple green and then pressure washed it. Also replaced all of the vacuum lines and EGR/vacuum parts. It wasn’t...

    Wanted LX450 Running Driving Clean

    Still looking for an LX?

    Knock or normal?

    That sucks man. Like I said I pulled the pump and ran the truck and didn’t hear any knocking. Then when I put the pump back on the sound was back, so I think that’s the culprit, but I need to pull the pan anyway to reseal it so I will check it out. Thank you.

    Knock or normal?

    Apologies that it’s taken me so long to get back, but I finally got a chance to remove the power steering pump and sure enough… no knocking sound! :) thank you all for your help. I wasn’t able to take pictures of the gear but I inspected it close and wasn’t able to see a damn thing wrong with...

    Wanted Sandy, Utah Need one OEM LX450 wheel

    Do you still need one? I believe I have one.

    Knock or normal?

    That’s great, thank you so much.

    Knock or normal?

    Okay thank you. So are you saying I should just replace the PS pump? I will order a fsm.

    Knock or normal?

    Thank you guys. I’ll take all the belts off tomorrow and post back.

    Knock or normal?

    Just realized the maintenance records say that the ps pump was replaced back in October. Not to say that it couldn’t be that but just wanted to mention that. I’ve also noticed it only sounds that way once it’s warmed up.

    Knock or normal?

    230k miles. Maintenance records for the past 10 years or so.

    Knock or normal?

    The engine will start if I take off all of the belts? (Alternator etc)? Sorry I’m still kind of new working on my own stuff, but I’m learning as I go.
  19. Indyteecee

    Knock or normal?

    Okay, thank you. So if I took the belt that goes to the power steering pump off then it would go away? If it was that issue.

    Knock or normal?

    Just bought this 1997 LX450 from a dealership on the east coast. Had it shipped to my house across the country and it just arrived. Everything checks out except one thing, does this sound like the engine is knocking? This is my first 1FZ and I have no experience with them or how the should...
