I was headed home Saturday morning, and the CEL came on. This is a rare occurrence for me, I can think of two other times it had happened.
Anyway I was on the freeway, going about 60 my exit was right up ahead I got off, came to a stop and the 02 LX 470 was running a little rough.
I drive a quite a few miles the rig has 218K , last week I had called about getting the timing belt done. Had planned on dropping it off this week.
Anyway CEL was on, then the VTS /VSS was on it still had power and I was close to home. (2 miles or so) I elected to drive home, assuming it was a coil pack. I had never had a coil pack issue, but have read up one 100 series problems and knew it was a possibility.
Made it home, and knew I had to have a car to get to work that evening. Called Enterprise, was able to get a car (elected to drive my 100 to Enterprise) stopped at the parts store on the way and read the codes.
P302,P304 P300 more than likely Coil pack issues I was thinking.
I went to Enterprise , picked up my rental and left my 100. Fast forward to last night, I was kind of chomping at the bit to get my 100 back. Figured I would get up early today order a couple Coil Packs from Toyota, spend my morning today changing my oil, replacing a couple of Coil packs, I have a new set of spark plugs sitting here would install new plugs for good measure. This way when I dropped it off at the dealer it would be ready for the new timing belt and water pump.
Got a ride to the Enterprise lot, started up the 100 and the lights were still on, as I was driving the CEL started flashing. I was assuming that the coil pack had totally failed. The car was still just running a little rough, had relatively normal power.
I was just taking it easy while going about 15 / maybe 20 MPH and it died. Dash lit up like a Christmas Tree, I spent my yesterday evening reading dead 100 stories. So I had an idea of where to start looking this morning,
Got up today hoping it was a fuse, however it's not bummed see the picture for more info.
