The transmission has two settings controlled by a push button on the shift console, a power and a normal setting, some how it was pushed and set to the power setting, it should be in the norm setting for general driving conditions.

the starter is easily accessed from the drivers side wheel well. turn the wheel all the way to the right and move the plastic piece . the top bolt is right there. the bottom is accessed from underneith. make sure to take the positive cable off battery before removing starter there is one nut and a sensor plug in. the top faces the front and the bottom faces back. not very hard at all just did mine last week took about an hour 14mm is the bolt size if i remmember right

Wouldn't anyone about to work on a timing belt or chain,

have to think if sometimes hard and some time mushy chances are its the booster valve possibly problem and dealer may be just covering **** by replacing whole assembly you can replace valve yousely and try it before spending money on entire booster no need to bleed system or any high tech tools needed just remove hose going to booster,remove valve and then reinstall less than $20.00 and if im wrong whats that kinda money wasted?let me know

The reason you can not locate this, is because it is part of the fuel pump module insid ethe fuel tank. No real service is necessary unless you are replacing the fuel pump.

There was a rack and pinion issue with 1996 Lexus LX 450 that involved the input shaft lower pinion bearing. If your car is suffering from this issue, it starts with a problem while turning right. The power steering pump will "lock up" due to a pressure demand increase from the rack causing the car to stall. As soon as it stops running, the pump frees up until you turn right again, and if you're on the bad spot on the pinion bearing, it will happen again. Once the pinion bearing re-aligns itself, all will be normal until it binds again. If your car growls on occasion when turning, I'd bet this is your issue if the crank position senor wiring checks out ok.

You'll need to find out from where in order to fix it. Get the engine steam cleaned and afterwards the source of the leak will be clearer.

If there are multiple leaks then you probably have a faulty or gunged up crankcase ventilation valve (PCV).

Let me know if this helped....

the bulb or the light ???

to replace bulb..

• pop hood
• look at the back of the light you will see wires on a clip plug into the light,, unclip it and pull it back..
• you will now see the bulb, its held in place by a wire clip,, unclip and remove..

to replace head light itself

• remove front bumper (it has bolts on the inside by the tires
• remove front grill (bolts will be exposed after u remove the bumper
• you will now see the bolts for the head light,, unclip the electricl from the head light, unbolt and remove..
  

filters must be free flowing to remove dirt and carbon the better the filter the better the engine will be kept clean
