fob still locks and unlocks and key starts engine. So I'll try a case, cut the blade, and swap the guts ...
2 New Replacement Key Case Shell Keyless Remote Fob Uncut Blade Lexus | eBay
No programming is required, this is for a shell only. In order to start using this you will need to have the blade cut and then swap your existing electronics over ,key blade its not removable. There are no electronics included, simply place your existing electronics inside and have the blade cut.www.ebay.com
whoa, those are rad.Get a YotaMD key cover. Nice upgrade from OEM
Only four things that cause this (in order of ease): gas cap, vent plugged, charcoal canister, purge valve.
I think I looked into replacing the canister a while ago... Sort of a job, but comparably relatively easy.
Thanks @Vlad , this is a perfect"order of events" checklist.
Ooooooooo!! @MoaByteHow's the Cruiser doing?
Is it up for a White Rum trip?
Exhaust mani repair completed!
SUPER quiet again! I hadn't realized the slow increase in tictictic, until it finally let loose!
Hindsight, always 20/20: I had noticed my 07 was a little tickier than @Lifted's 05 (similar mileage) when we fiddled with his bumper last summer.... I recall thinking, WTF, why it is making that noise? his older 2UZ is quieter than mine!...
So my PAX exhaust manifold failed in the tube bend upstream of the cat, NOT at any weld. But the failure was a nearly circumferential crack. I was surprised to learn the manifold in this car is NOT cast but welded tube. interesting.
pix of gasket for kicks too... hmm.
I replaced the 8 studs too (as I expected), but sadly THOSE didn't get returned in the box with the other broken bits I asked for
At any rate, she purrrs again!!
Oh, and I had them do my 5-tire rotation while it was there (46K miles on these KO2s, and they have 10/32 tread remaining), since I was due and was returning my 6 ton jack stands during this same drop-off trip (HF is 2+ hours away, as is the closest Yota dealer) and therefore lost the means for "safe" vehicle support at home
So I turned those stands' in-store credit, plus a $40 off coupon into a tool cabinet (which gets surprisingly good reviews) for $250
