My Son has a 95 es300, the amp for it is located under the front passenger seat. The easiest way to access it is to remove the 4 bolts holding the seat down, and remove the seat. Takes about 5 minutes

SOURCE: where is the thermostst on 1995 lexus es300

Its located on the RH side of the engine and above the transmission. The lower radiator hose(RH side) runs to an inlet pipe, at the end of the pipe there is the thermostat housing. The thermostat is located in the thermostat housing. Hopefully this helps!!

SOURCE: 2002 Lexus ES300 Check Engine Light

You can disconnect your battery for a short period of time, 5-10 minutes should do it. There is no guarantee that the check engine light will not come back on in time, but it will make it go away at least temporarily.If you go to Autozone, 99% of the time they will hook up a code reader and diagnose your problem. It may be a minor and/or inexpensive fix. Please vote appropriately and leave feedback. I hope this helps and good luck.

SOURCE: need to replace thermostat but not sure where it

Follow the lower hose up to the water pump where there is a housing for the thermostat. To remove this you will first, want to take the front right tire off then the dust guard for it; the thermostat housing should now be viseable. Then you will want to take the plastic windshield washer, and engine coolant reserviors off to make the job easier. Next take the bottom rad. hose off the water pump(where it goes to, from the radiator). then struggle for awhile with taking the three nuts that hold the thermostat housing together (a wobbler bit on a socket wrench can make this job easier). Once these are off you can unplug electric plug on top of the housing, pull that part of the housing off and there the thermostat sits in all of its evasive gloriousness waitng for you .

I need help finding DRIVE CYCLES 1995 LEXUS ES300 IN LEXUS SERVICE INFORMATION

Many cars don't have a specific drive cycle to make the monitors run. Normal driving is the only drive cycle needed, the evap.monitor takes the longest. Some scanners have the ability to force the complete drive cycle.

Trying to pass smog test but catalyst will not set. I have been driving cycles and have done that for over 100 miles. Does this mean that I need a new catalitic convertor?

You need multiple "from cold" starts and it could take 500 total miles before the computer is happy with the cat.If you need a new cat you should see a check engine light and have a code relating to that.

How to tune up a 1995 Geo Prizm? not passing smog, They told me to tune up and get new cataylic converter, but wont guarantee it will pass smog test.

A tune is just replacing the spark plugs every 100,000 miles and the air filter every 30,000, clean oil is also a help in passing smog, the new converter is what will most likely do the trick.

HOW To: tune up Geo Prizm 1995, myself.

wow ,no posted smog report, (the failed gases) now that makes this 10s harder, and for sure more expensive.....
many post,. why not just add to one post
click comments and add.
or edit one. post.
all engines that fail smog run fine. (so says all owners)
(fine means zero,) in the real world.
what's worse is owning a 1995 in USA, and must get sniff tested.
(cant fool that method) no report by you, (paper)

ignore all statements by all smog testers,
only one statement (it fails!)
all others are lies, guessing and BS.
after all if they were fully trained and skilled they'd have a real job.
a fact. (or they get huge retirements from the state?)
The car needs to be check by a pro.
it needs to be scanned, with a custom scan tool that is not sold in any auto store until 1996 happened.

but if that NOT IN THE CARDS./ no money for a real ASE tech?
then yes, do a tuneup..

1: spark plugs. and new wires, cap and rotor.
2: filters. and fresh engine oil, (the oil can be full of gasoline is why)
3: the cat may be ok, is spending a fortune on that good?
on a wild guess,? like your smog guy quipped?
that be your call. no? (shot gun method or testing) your call.

in a shop they would get the engine running perfectly.
in closed loop hot and light cruise.
A NEW front 02 sensor for sure.
then they test the cat last, the CAT is always last.
i think this car has 3 way cat too, so is really 3 cats in one.
all 3 must work. or you fail... (for sure)


what if only NOX gas failed.????
if yes, we fix EGR first. then CAT last. (they work as a team)
what gases failed matters
and was not stated by you.
in a real shop they can sniff front of cat and rear
and tell you ,
bad engine, or bad cat. in minutes.
or both, sure.

bad engine means
1:engine is bad.
2: EFI controls failing, (fuel or spark)
3: misfires. (even some humans cant hear, omg)
4: and many more. but no smog sheet posted, no savvy.

a pro shop knows the pre cat gas levels that are normal.
if they are, then the cat is bad.
end story.

You will need to get it scanned and get the codes for the problem. If it failed the test due to emissions I would almost guarantee it will be your oxygen sensor or cat
