New ES Owner, Few Questions?
Hey Guys, Whats going on my name is Josh. I am from New Jersey I am a proud new owner of a 1992 Lexus ES300. I needed a cheap but nice car to get around in rather than putting miles on my new truck anyway here we go.
1992 Lexus ES 300
132K Miles
3.0L V6
I bought it for an incredible deal. Had some issues, the gas pedal line would stick so when u would accel it would stick and you would just continue to go, adjusted the line and greased it and hit the pulley with some WD40. Good as New. Both FogLights were not working so checked the fuse, was good, just ended up being bulbs so I replaced both H3 fog bulbs, now my fogs work. The only other light problem I am having is, my passenger side tailight, when the break is pressed the break light bulb is not lighting. I took a test light to the plus and it is getting power and I tried 2 diff bulbs so I cannot figure it out. Any ideas?
Last problem was only happening the first couple hours of owning the car. I would drive around and when I came to a complete stop the car would stall. Put it back in park and restart it again, does this sound like it could be something as simple as adjusting the idle because the engine runs strong, doesnt misfire or anything.
Also, when I purchased the car I was given 2 Keys, One key has a button to lock/unlocked the door built into it, but it will not start the car. Is there any reason why? The only key that will start the car is the non remote key. Any help or advice would much appreciated.
