Hello guys,
I have a 2003 is300. I am located in Western Montana. I am having a hell of a time finding a REPUTABLE tuner that will tune a Link G4+.
I have found guys in the Spokane area that will tune them, but I don't trust them with a 10' pole. I'm willing to travel 1200 miles for a tune. I just need a reputable company to take it to ..read more

So, I posted here several months ago about my son's car.
The oil issue we identified and repaired.
Today, I drove the car, maybe, 10 miles. Turned the AC on as it was pretty warm here in DC today. When I stopped, dark, smelly smoke was coming from the battery area. Right side, near the windshield.
Went to a Firestone car center because it was across the street.
The tech checked the battery.
He advised there may be a short?
The rubber cover on the right side was somewhat melted.
He tested...

So bought it from a local guy had it on facebook. Was in pretty rough shape, leaking coolant, misfiring, ugly lol. I was a Toyota then Lexus technician for many years, so mechanically was not worried about anything I couldn't handle. I unfortunately never learned any body work so stuck with shops for that part eventually lol. I got it home and was in pretty rough shape. Front bumper was held on with zip ties, broken everywhere. No exhaust, was straight pipe. Tan interior was wrecked. Window...

2005. Got a scan tool to check an abs code and after scanning the vsc and trac lights come on. Scanner says I need to zero out the sas of which it does not do the IS...
Light will be off, can turn the wheel lock to lock and nothing. Put it in drive and go maybe a few feet-straight and the lights come on. Lights reset every time the ignition is turned off.
Scan tool I used in case someone else comes across this thread-I'd avoid it...

I know this is a common issue but I have tried a few things and haven’t managed to figure it out.
Passenger floorboard is wet and looking under the carpet at the drain tube all of the connections seem to be made and unclogged. Has anyone ever replaced the black tubing? It seems that the condensation wants to seep through them.
I have already made sure that the sunroof is draining properly ..read more

Hey all. I'm making moves on a motor swap and I'm looking for ideas to the problem of our clusters not being can bus. I like the stock cluster and would prefer to keep it, but dual ECU is not happening. Current plan is the All4Swap converter, but I'm curious what people are coming up with as a solution. Anybody know of a can bus controller that can operate analogue gauges? Any other options out there ..read more
