indicates a bad connection in the wire or harness or ground point

Hi. Thanks for your question. For overhead cams ypu can refer to https://www.reliable-store.com and download the entire service manual which includes all the information along with the diagrams for better understanding. Good day!

It sounds like your previous thermostat was stuck partially open ( that's why the engine temp never reached mid point on your temp gauge) . Why you are smelling the rubber is another issue. I suspect some antifreeze from the thermostat change got onto your car's serpentine belt and is causing it to slip some...until it wears off or you clean it off the belt it will stink.

First check your ground wire. Second check your main fuse. GL

An oxygen sensor by itself should not cause the car to stall and have almost no power. This sounds more like a misfire, which is typically the cause of a flashing Check Engine Light (CEL). Since the CEL has illuminated, there should be a stored diagnostic code at a minimum. Many of the chain auto parts stores will read out the diagnostic code at no charge. Request the actual diagnostic code, not just the parts store's interpretation of the code. Unless the diagnostic code is very obvious (few of them are), don't necessarily purchase any parts without doing some further research. For example, a code of "P0302 - Cylinder #2 misfire" does not always mean the spark plug for cylinder #2 is bad. It could be a bad spark plug, but it could also be a bad coil, a bad plug wire (if your Lexus still uses plug wires), it could be a bad fuel injector, it could be a bad valve, etc. Similarly, a code for "B2S1 oxygen sensor out of range" does not necessarily mean the bank 2, sensor 1 oxygen sensor is bad, it just means something is causing that sensor to read outside of range. This could be a misfire, this could be an exhaust leak, it could be an exhaust restriction, it could be a wiring issue, or it could be a bad oxygen sensor.

This fuse may serve the compressor clutch. Were you using the AC at the time? If yes, you may need to replace the compressor clutch. There are also a few other circuits on this fuse. See diagrams at the link below. Repair Guides Overall Electrical Wiring Diagram 1998 Overall Electrical...

Bad fuel (water, too high octane, dirt, etc.), dirty fuel filter, air leak in system (fuel, vacuum) , too low octane, dirty fuel injectors are some possibilities.

Sorry Danielle but your vehicle does not have electronic throttle control . Your best bet take it to a qualified repair shop that knows your vehicle better then you .

We Sell Over 1 600 000 Batteries Light Bulbs Week Hey Princess, ALL portable chargers have their own battery inside.. yours is 10+ years old.. its dead.. You will need to open the case and simply replace it..(the case will have screws/allen heads..(maybe security type).. remove them and ease the cases apart..If you are not comfortable or unable to do this... the battery shop MIGHT help you open it ,,(they want to sell batteries,,) they will be able to get you a replacement battery.. Good luck.

The 2002 lexus es 300 has the 3.0L engine, which is non-interference. The later lexus es 330 has the 3.3L engine, which is an interference engine. The even later es350 has the 3.5 engine and is back to non-interference as well as having a timing chain rather than a belt. Hope this helps.

your battery needs replacing

You may think that there is a connection problem of the headlights to chassis ground,check the wire connetions and lightning relays

Some test should be about $25 and take about ten minutes once the car is up on the lift, after all it is just a diagnostic test to see if there any leaks. The car should be on the lift to check the EVAP piping all the way back to the tank. It is unlikely that the charcoal canister will need changing, they generally last longer than the car as they rarely wear out. The charcoal canister and the whole EVAP system merely absorbs fuel vapours rising of the fuel in the tank. When your engine is warmed up and doing more than 2,500 revs the EVAP purge and vent valves open to allow outside air to be drawn in through the canister to carry the small amount of trapped fuel vapour into the engine to be consumed as part of the normal fuel air mix. The computer normally commands the EVAP system to open and close the purge/vent valves check as part of an inbuilt leak detection protocol and has seen an anomaly, possibly the vent valve not closing properly. Once the nature of the leak is diagnosed it is matter of fixing it and it should not be an expensive or time consuming job. Take the car to other mechanics and get their opinion and guesstimates. Put it like this "would you smoke test my EVAP, fix the leak and clear the diagnostic trouble codes from my computer for $200 including taxes?" If the answer is no then ask how close they can get to this price.

you should check ur spark plugs for the jumpy. and also if the car is a manual there might be a problem with the gearbox either the whole clutch kit is gone or just the master cylinder is not giving away the break fluid..

How can it start if the engine doesn't turn over, please clarify?

You haven't cured the problem that's why you can't reset code

You can't the parts in question must be replaced.

Duplicate question.
