Each time I crank the car the clock goes to Pacific time zone
Hi, the clock reset when the battery voltage falls below the threshold and it happens under load and will be dependent on the duration of the crank.
Have your battery checked UNDER LOAD free at auto zones or other retailers. You have to change the battery to solve the problem.
Take care
Brake Pad Replacement, Resurface Rotors for your 1998 Lexus LS400
what is the question???? I will guess...please don't hammer my raiting for not answering the "right question" ...
So, if you are doing a break job, and you are wondering if the rotors need to be resurfaced or machined? okay, first thing you need to do is to take a micrometer and check the thickness of the rotor. There will be minimum machineable thicknesess. If your rotor is thinner than the minnimum allowable thickness, you will not be able to machine it, and it will have to be replaced. Looking at the year of your vehicle, when were the breaks last done on it? if it was quite a while ago...you might want to consider replacing the rotors as well. If the question is on how to replace the break pads, i can't realy help you too much there, i can tell you the very basics, but you kinda just have to see it. So if you get stuck, take one side apart at a time.... If you need help on doing the actual pad change, ask back. but the basics are that you have to unbolt the caliper (leave the braket on) and pull the pads out while making sure to keep and eye on how the little springs/clips go in (if you have them, not all vehicles do). Also, caution on which break pads you put where. Some types are specific on which side of the rotor they have to be on. If this is the case, they "usually" give you instructions....Best of luck

i see this alot on these cars. it is a bad body module or wire harness connector to the module itself. but more times then not it is the module. if you check the connectors first to make sure there is no corrosion or bent pins you can rule that out.
the body ecu is behind the fuse panel to the left of the steering wheel. not the easiest think to get to but is the issue with your problems.
please ask any more question you have i will be glad to guide you through anything i can.

This would either be fuel pump relay, fuel pressure regulator (Not likely), or plugged fuel filter or faulty fuel pump. Check fuel pump relay and any fuel pump fuses first. You can check relay with an ohmmeter to see if there is a good strong reading. You can test power to the relay with a voltmeter. As well as wiring to fuel pump.
You can go to autozone.com and then register, login, choose year, make, model, and VIEW FREE ONLINE REPAIR MANUAL

Usually not. Disconnect negative battery terminal, then positive. Next remove battery hold down (type is specific to car model). Battery then lifts out and replace with correct new one. Install is reverse.
