I'm sure I can, and most likely will. I'm just saying I just recently noticed it... Mine is a 1995.

Just checking since I really don't know how involved that repair would be but I would get that bulb taken care of ASAP. It's the best way to diagnose the car when stuff starts going wrong. Either test those sensors to see if they are working properly and change them if they are..... I don't know if the procedure is the same as the 98 but I'll check my manual.

Thanks I appreciate it. I'm going to jack it up and see if theres any pinched wires or anything first then probably order a new crank sensor since they're only like 70 bucks..

Did you get your ECU fixed?
I see in craigslist there's a guy in Georgia who fixes Lexus ECUs if you need help.

Well I took it out and looked at everything and it all looked in perfect condition, dropped it off at a buddies house of mine and he tested them and they all came back good. Put it back in, did a ripple test and that came back good but now Yamae is saying they need to be changed anyways...

A girl who has never soldered is changing capacitors of a Samsung TV at below.

This is about a TV. The ECU is slightly difficult but it is strange to me that boys can't do that.

Our best solderer (surface mount stuff) at work was a lady, but we had some guys that could do almost as well.

I changed out the Caps since Yamae said it was at that time so I did.. But I am still having the same symptoms has before.. Hmmm... Thats odd, thought the guru was never wrong about these Caps..

Ok we'll see. I'm going to drive the car around more and see if anything changes.. I'm going to put my trust and faith in you.

Well he isnt a guru on the wiring for nothing.... But when he is right, your going to feel REAL stupid for saying this:

Why would I feel stupid? I will feel grateful. No one has resolved anything yet.. Been driving around and still nothing yet. and I just find it funny that everyone on this forum only go towards the ECU for everything and never have any other alternatives.

Dude. Your getting a speed sensor error. Your talkin about the crank sensor. Have you tested the sensors associated with your codes? Ecu is the last thing you should check. Yamae does have apoint about the caps going bad in the ecu, but it is not the end all be all. Start with your basics. We are tryin to help. We cant do this for you.
