Ecu b fuse burns out
My Lexus ES330 battery is being drained. I put the meter
in series with the battery and it was drawing 320 milli amps with everything
turned off (no key in the ignition). I pulled fuses and discovered the ECU-B
(Electronic Control System) was drawing the parasitic current. On the WEB there
is a company that sells this unit, preprogrammed,
for about $500. Any other solutions.
Continuous refrigerant bubbles in glass flow
It sounds like the system may be overcharged. It is common for bubbles to still appear in these newer systems. Don't be fooled by that. How is the cooling out of the centre vent? 55 is high for low side pressure. It should read about 30-35 psi in a good system.Low side charge port will be located after the evaporator.
Dash lights does not work
First thing I would check is to see if you have blown the fuse for the instrument cluster / lights. Also check that the dimmer switch for the instrument panel has not been inadvertently moved to its lowest setting.
Please vote if this helped! Thanks, Mike
If your car is jerking while you are driving it it
Spark plugs, new plug wires, distributor cap and rotor (if your car has them), pcv valve, air filter, fuel filter, oil filter, oil. Also check your belts since you are already working in there, they tend to wear out less often though.
I have a 1995 Lexus
Tune up wouldn't hurt. replace the air and fuel filters too. And yes you most likely have a dead spot on the starter. It will only keep getting worse
What is the best replacement
A 74 amp hour battery of the 15 plate per cell type (heavy duty) is the best type of replacement battery i can advise but make sure you buy the right polarity ,in other words look to see if the positive is closest to you and to the right ,as some are the opposite way around so teh battery leads will not fit ,
Whenever I start the car it smokes than after
The key is how much smoke? Does the smoke have a smell to it. Are you consuming any fluids, like coolant, or oil?
Tons White smoke that is sweet smelling is usually coolant getting into the combustion chamber.
Less white smoke, especially if other cars are doing it, is normal. For every gallon of gas that you burn, you generate a gallon (GALLON) of water. so this water usually evaporates, but sometimes not. It has little or no smell.
If the smoke is bluish white, that is oil, but usually your converter would fill with oil, and cause error codes, or loss of power. This smell is distinct, but not necessarily sweet.... After the converter heats up, it may be able to burn off the oil and the smoke stops.
What are you consuming, fluid wise, will direct where you go next.
