MauiGS300

i own a 1998 Lexus GS300 that has 145,643 original miles. Changed water pump, power steering pump, cam seal, MAF sensor, Serpentine belt & timing belt & Radiator. My i replaced all of these because its time for it too go because car is OLD. Car was fine before i changed all these parts,AFTER i changed all the parts now it dies out!!! Can anyone out there help me? This is a DIFFICULT PR0BLEM to S0LVE. I used the device to check the computer to tell me the codes to whats causing the car to die out & the code comes out P0100 & P0110. which is the MAF sensor & air intake temp.?????? why is it saying that when i changed the MAF sensor & its brand NEW!!!!!!!!

Did you leave any vacuum lines off?

did you replace the crank seal?if so check to see if your have any broken tooth on the crank timing sprocket.

MauiGS300

nope. i made sure all the vaccum hoses were all on

i should probably look for the crank timing sprocket & check thanks i'll let you know if it fixes the problem.

maf sensor might be bad out of box it does happen. do you have your old one? try changing it back to the old one and see if that fix's it.

MauiGS300

i dont think its the MAF sensor because i tested it from a friend of mine & its okay!!

MauiGS300

I have my laptop right next to my car with my friend & i'm thinking could it be the vvt-i? when i changed the cam seal the vvt-i must of moved? when i changed it?

please help answer this question, its so difficult

Sounds like your timing might be off.

MauiGS300

i think it might be also, we're still figuring out how the timing works on the vvt-i.thanks

tom steele

thats why when i changed my timing belt i didn't screw with those seals if there not broke why fix em.....lol

I don't recall on the GS300 but on the GS4 you could install the MAF upside down and it would cause this sort of issue.
