Wife lives in california, engine

You should be able to find the code by putting the key in the ignition and turning it to the on position (not starting the car) and then turning it off....On-off-on-off-on within 5 seconds and where your odometer reads should show the codes such as p1604 as with my truck

I failed the emission test

A code P0300 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
Faulty spark plugs or wires
Faulty coil (pack)
Faulty oxygen sensor(s)
Faulty fuel injector(s)
Burned exhaust valve
Faulty catalytic converter(s)
Stuck/blocked EGR valve / passages
Faulty camshaft position sensor
Defective computer

Possible Solutions:
If there are no symptoms, the simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back.

If there are symptoms such as the engine is stumbling or hesitating, check all wiring and connectors that lead to the cylinders (i.e. spark plugs). Depending on how long the ignition components have been in the car, it may be a good idea to replace them as part of your regular maintenance schedule. I would suggest spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and rotor (if applicable). Otherwise, check the coils (a.k.a. coil packs). In some cases, the catalytic converter has gone bad. If you smell rotten eggs in the exhaust, your cat converter needs to be replaced. I've also heard in other cases the problems were faulty fuel injectors.

Random misfires that jump around from one cylinder to another (read: P030x codes) also will set a P0300 code. The underlying cause is often a lean fuel condition, which may be due to a vacuum leak in the intake manifold or unmetered air getting past the airflow sensor, or an EGR valve that is stuck open.

Hope helps.

Car alternator has been replaced

Sounds like you have bad wiring or some other electric draw somewhere. You need to do a parasitic drain test, you have a hot wire somewhere, that grounds out and drains your battery, so the above test might not find it, if it is not grounding out when you do your checking.

In my 1998 Lexus 400GS,

There is something that is causing it to bind when it closes all the way. It automatically will open if it binds up. Check to make sure that it is not binding. You might want to grease the tracks that the roof slides in.

I hAVE a Lexus 98

Hello. Begin by changing the fuel filter. IF after that it is still acting sluggish get a couple bottles of a fuel tank additive called seafoam. That will clean your fuel system, injectors, etc. and definitely make a difference. J.

How to replace HID low

Hi
There are aftermarket HID kits available however this is NOT legal in most states unless the car was factory equipped with HID.
I would recommend is a set of XENON bulbs.
The brand PIAA makes the best ones but they are pricey!!! Most auto parts stores can order these for you.
Thanks for contacting fixya.com

COOLANT TEMP SEN LOCATION

I don't know about this vehicle specifically, but usually coolant temp sensors are screwed into the block somewhere near where the radiator hose connects to the block. It's about the size of a .410 shotgun shell with a wire connected to the top.

2006 Lexus IS250 code P0348 help

It is definitely a cam problem. Was your replacement cam sensor OEM Japanese Denso, Made in China or Made in Mexico? Never go cheap on sensors. DTC P0348 stands for Camshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit High Bank 2. This code triggers when the signal coming from the CMP sensor located in bank #1 is either missing or inconsistent. The CMP sensor measures the speed and position of the engine's camshaft. Sep 29, 2023

Looking for the audio amplifier in a Lexus LX470 1998. It is not under the seat as mentioned in the manual

If you can't find the audio amplifier under the seat as mentioned in the manual, there are a few other places you might want to check:
  1. Trunk area: Some Lexus LX470 models have the audio amplifier located in the trunk area, often mounted on the side panels or near the rear speakers.
  2. Behind the dashboard: In some vehicles, especially those with more complex audio systems, the amplifier may be located behind the dashboard or near the head unit. You may need to remove some panels to access it.
  3. Under the center console: Occasionally, car manufacturers install amplifiers under the center console or beneath other interior panels. This location keeps the amplifier hidden and can save space in the trunk or under the seats.
  4. Behind the glove compartment: Sometimes, especially in luxury vehicles like Lexus, the amplifier may be tucked away behind the glove compartment. Removing the glove compartment may give you access to the amplifier.
If you still can't locate the amplifier after checking these areas, you may need to consult with a professional car audio technician or refer to specific technical documentation for your vehicle model. They may have insights or access to resources that can help you pinpoint the exact location of the amplifier.
