Has this ever happened to anyone? I recently returned from hunting trip (more accurately 'hiking with a gun' based on my success rate) and was off road for a good portion of the trip.
From our home in Denver to NW Colorado, I drove approx 400 highway miles as well and at 60-75 mph. Got home...
Somebodyelse5, this has been going on in my 98 LX470 for a long time but its not consistent. I have even described the noise like you without ever having seen this.
Almost always over a bump (our driveway in CO is called 'mountable curb' by the city which is exactly that, a curb with an...
mrahc my issue was resolved and I am ashamed to admit that I had to take it to our family mechanic and he fixed it for a few hundred bucks if I am right. AND that has been so long I don't really remember exactly what he did. I took out the center console and could not access any portion of the...
Good lord! Your work and the documentation of it is amazing. I have a lot of questions and I just finished the thread and it appears so have you. I better hurry. I own a 98 LX470 (183k mi), Slee removed the AHC, and replaced with 1.5" lift, OME shocks. I think you called this a "UniGal". My...
Still on going issue. Has anybody experienced the CEL going on and off of its own accord? Same P1445 code but now intermittent. Was considering getting an OBD2 scanner with Mode 6 to be able to reset the monitors. I have a ScanGauge II with which I can clear codes but apparently with some...
Conclusion
i took the coil pack out to test it and began to disconnect the fuel injector when it came off in my hand. I don't know when this happened but if you look in the pic with the electronic connection you can see that the insulation around the wires does not look original. It was...
Hope someone out there can advise me.
History-07 GX470 approx 130k miles threw a code P1445. Diagnosed with ScanGauge 2, reset code and it went away for 2 weeks. Reappeared and ordered a Vacuum Switch Valve (VSV) at recommendation of a mechanic friend. By the time the part arrived CEL had...
In the recent east coast blizzard of 2016 several people died while sitting in their cars with the motors running. Since then I got battery powered CO detectors meant for houses and put them in my vehicles.
Skypig, It looks to be about 9yrs ago but what did you do with this issue? I seem to be having same issue. Once engaged it works fine but its a bear to get it from HIGH to LOW.
So its been a week or 2 and I had an opportunity to pull the center console and dig into the linkage. I didn't find any obvious issues but did lube what linkages I could access. First off I used Tri-flow and honestly I don't know how good a choice that is but I think its a pretty good lube...
This weekend I did get a chance to try engaging the selector into 4L and IT WORKED!! BUT only after the car was operating temp. I tried later in the day after car had been idle for several hours and it wouldn't budge. Does anybody know if this is normal? I'm probably going to pull the...
Sandroad, I will try the no parking brake suggestion. Simple, I like that! Thanks
jLB, good link, just what I was looking for. I tried a thousand different variations of my search. Just not that one! If the parking brake release doesn't do it i will study this.
After much searching I don't find anything in the 100 series forum (or Google for that matter) regarding transfer shifter not engaging. My rig is a 98 LX470 with 150k miles.
I noticed that when I went to put shifter from neutral to 4L in one of our latest snow storms it felt as if I was...
