This beautiful 1994 Lexus ES300 has been to multiple shops including a Lexus dealership which simply told the customer they cannot fix it because it’s too old and they don’t have the parts nor the experience to fix it. So it was brought over to our shop. We did our best efforts to fix it, We made great progress but we are not 100% satisfied so we’ll keep at it until it’s fixed and fixed right.

I am the owner and I really appreciate you for taking the time and fixing my car. Thanks to you it won’t be going to the junk yard 🙂
Following story is a problem that that is only semi-related to this video, as no mechanics were able to diagnose a no-start condition. A woman placed a "bling ring" around the circumference of the car's ignition switch. Because of that bling ring, the car would not start, or start and then immediately die. See this video, which aired on a news station > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbkXFTfrWyU
90s Toyota and Lexus cars were peak quality. I love my 95 Celica.
One more reason to get your old parts from the shop when doing repairs.
HEY TCCN….. WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED???
I have been an electronic tech for 40 years. I would suggest to all auto techs that are capable, take apart any suspected defective module, change all the caps and resolder any questionable connections. Those two things are responsible for most board failures. If one cap is leaky/bad change all of them.
AMD, your channel has inspired me to have a newfound respect and appreciation for my 2013 Lexus RX 450h. Thank you for your content!
I HAVE A 98 CAMRY"GRACIA" WAGON" imported from Japan that locks just like that ES. It has no OBD 2 despite being a 98. I had similar problems as Ahmed with the IAC and I work on Toyotas and always go oem.. A Used IAC oem fixed it and cost more than a "new" ebay one.These old buggys are worth keeping and customers will eventually revolt against touch screen everything taht cost many thousands to fix
Those are such nice cars. Very well built high quality. I own a newer Lexus and honestly……………..I hate it. I would much rather have something like this. Beautiful car.
When you start mentioning problems I thought of two things, could be loose ground or faulty ecm,
For the roughy idling I though of aftermarket airflow sensors and throghtlbody, for coolant temp more likely thermostat
Great work, I am a couch mechanic lol
Dumped my ES300 after thousands in repairs. Not impressed with the quality.
Enjoyed just listening to this video in the background while cleaning, beauitful car and such a story behind it, thankfully it came to you before it was lost to a junkyard
Never ever use general motors parts on a Toyota.
Ilove the pilarless doors like the 80's supras
