Well that is not good. Have the exhaust system checked for leaks.

Hi!!
On your harness, the black and white/blk wires are for the defogger, you are not going to use them.
Please provide an email address to send you the wiring diagram. This site do not take images greater that 150k

clean or replace IAC valve,i had the same problem. There is alot of info on the web on how to do.

not sure I am following your post but it sounds like you are having problems with the key in the ignition?

if this is true there it has nothing to do with your key fob

instead, the inability to remove the key from the ignition is because the tumbler is failing or failed

additional causes can be due to failing shift lock actuator


If however, you mean the door, then that is purely a lock solenoid concern, but I doubt that is why you walked home

Doesn't sound good. I think you might have cooked the engine. But just in case, get some coolant back in there of some kind, water just for the test, and see if you can get it running again, check the exhaust pipe for steam. The check the oil for water and the water for oil floating on the top. If you have any of these signs, the head gasket has blown out and needs to be fixed, You can get it to a radiator shop for a compression check, will tell you everything. Even how much to fix it. But only if it is not seized up. Then, you will need a new motor or a new car. Hope this helps.

My sister had a RX300 with the same problem,(VSC--ABS ) there is a hose on the back of the air filter housing that has come loose ,it is in a tight spot ,they plugged the hose back up and the lights were not on,I do not know about the alarm,

Open both doors, actuate the windows up and down two times, close the dfoors, turn off the ignition, and they should be reset. Let me know if this works, or not. I will still be here. Thank you.

Click on the following direct Link. It has the Serpentine Belt Diagram.

Standard Rules to Removal the Serpentine Belt with a Tensioner:
1. Find the Tensioner(s). (See Diagrams on Link)
2. Using a Serpentine Belt Tensioner Tool, Or Wrench OR Ratchet, Rotate/Move the Tensioner USING THE AVAILABLE NUT (on the Pulley or Arm Base) OR the OPENING (3/8ths or 1/2 inch square opening) rotating the Tensioner Pulley/Arm - moving it away from contact with the belt and towards the area where the belt is not in contact with the Tensioner Pulley. The Tensioner is spring loaded, and is hard to rotate/move.
3. Remove the loosened belt off one of the other more easily accessed Pulleys.
4. DO NOT quickly release the Tensioner, but gently allow the Tensioner to rest in its closed position.

Standard Rules for Installing the Serpentine Belt with Tensioners:
a. Pick a Pulley that is most easily accessed. This will usually be on top. This will be the last Pulley that the belt will go on.
b. Using the Diagram: Install the new Serpentine Belt on the remainder of the Pulleys....over, under, left right.
c. Using a Serpentine Belt Tensioner Tool or Wrench or Ratchet Tool: Rotate/Move the Tensioner Pulley/Arm "away" from Belt contact area on the Tensioner. This spring is pretty hard and with a new belt, it will be even harder to install. Rotate/Move this to as-close to the maximum allowed inorder to have enough slack in the belt to get it up and over the last pulley.
d. Using your other hand - Pull the Belt up and over the Last remaining Pulley.
e. Before releasing the pressure on the Tensioner, visually inspect the remainder Pulleys and the Belts' Positioning on them

The crankshaft sensor need to be checked.

I just replaced my blown sub in my Avalon xls with a Kicker 07C84 and it works great. For the same price of a repair kit, you can just buy this new speaker. Why go through the hassle of repairing a 9 year old speaker. This speaker fits into the same cutout of the old speaker. All I did was splice the red and black wires within the factory plastic housing so I could still use the factory connector.

is the check engine light on also

it will probably need a new inner door handle or the clip that holds the rod to the door handle

If you have the key code and registration showing prood of ownership. Or you can call a reputable mobil locksmith that can come and make a key for you cylinder.

you have a vaccum leak somewhere please rate me

You can try to drill out the broken bolts, or you can use heat, if you can grasp the bit of bolt poking out the back side of the plate. Get the bolt tips red hot with a torch or as hot as you can. Grab the parts of the bolt with a vise grip pliers and try and turn it out. If this does not work, you will have to drill a small starter hole in the bolt to weaken them and allow it to shrink a-bit and turn out.

There is a hidden deactivation button in the glove box. Just push it and your problem should be solved.

Is it overheating to the point of boiling over, or does the guage or light just come on? What i am suggesting is that maybe it's the heat sending unit, or temp. sensor that is faulty. If the thermostat is working, the water pump is working, the coolant isn't low, the fan cuts in and out, and the rad isn't plugged, i would almost say it has to be the sensor. Let me know.

th only honest answer is to replace it

go to salvage yard take a wrench remove 3 of them put 2 in your pockets 1 on the counter total cost is 20 bucks usually
