  1. I've been trying to unplug it and clean the connector, but it is impossible without removing the intake manifold... but if you tell me it is something related to the sensor itself, the wiring or the ecu, at least I feel more confortable...

    But why it only happens at low rpms?

  2. First I'll give you quick info as what happened until now..

    Three weeks ago, after starting the car, it was vibrating as it was diesel, with EML and TRC lights flashing. After checking here, it showed a clear coil packs problem.

    I bought 2 new coil packs from the dealer. After fitting them, the car seems to run fine, but after moving the car the EML came on. I check it and the code was P0325, which corresponds with: "Knock Sensor #1 — Circuit Malfunction (Bank #1 or Single Sensor)"

    I checked with multimeter the coils. I found the faulty one. I also checked continuity between the connection pins, and they all showed 24. The new ones were 36.

    So I though maybe the problem was the difference between the old and new ones, so I bought the ones from Ellz, 6 coils and 6 inyectors. When they arrived, I checked them again and they show 20.

    This morning I switched the two I bought new with two from the ones received from Ellz. And the problem persist. So I decided to switch the other four and the EML comes on again. Clearly, coil packs are not the problem, as right now I have 13 units. I tried with all of them and I always get the same error.

    The EML only comes on while driving at low rpm. If I go over 4.000, I'll never have any problem. If I change to 6th gear and step on it, usually after 4-5 secs I feel a bump and the EML turns on. Then the car goes to protection mode and it would move very slowly. If I delete the error on the go, then it accelarate as it should

    The only thing I can think of, is to get a new knock sensor. Maybe it is broken and is what makes the car shows errors, so the car enter protection and therefore I feel the bump. If it would be an inyector problem, the ecu should register the error. The spark plugs are new, I don't think they even have more than 500 miles since fitted...

    I'm really desperate with the car... what can I check next, besides the knock sensor?

    Thanks

  3. a breakers in birkenhead ,wirral has a smashed up lex sport , i had the coil pack off it done 60 thousand miles it been rolled but as far as i know the running gear is fine, not back in work till 2nd but will give them a call then for you, http://www.thomsonlocal.com/Borough-Salvag...ompanyinfo.html

  4. I'm still searching for a LSD for my car... so I would like to ask you for some help.

    There are absolutely no breakers in Spain that have any IS200 around... so is even harder to have an IS200 Sport with LSD. I know you have many of them in the UK, so if you guys can source one for me it would be very helpful. Of course I will pay for your hassle and gas to the breakers, and transportation cost to Spain.

    So if any one can help me out... :whistling:

  5. if he is an arse then dont buy from him - if he is an arse when u are trying to buy imagine if something goes wrong.....

    dave ( prolex) has shipped many items before overseas - ask him again maybe???

    I would prefere not to buy from him, obviously... but when you don't have any other real option...

    I will ask him again, but he stated he doesn't send packages over 25kg overseas...

  6. Greetings from Spain :)

    I'm in the process of getting a LSD for my IS200 with open differential. Right now, the only option I have is to get it from eBay to a japanese seller. But he have 3 different products for the same Toyota 7,5" LSD with different pictures and things included... I have emailed him twice, but he's a complete arse... The items are the following:

    http://cgi.ebay.es/JDM-Toyota-7-5inch-Tors...p3286.m20.l1116

    http://cgi.ebay.es/JDM-Toyota-7-5inch-Tors...p3286.m20.l1116

    http://cgi.ebay.es/JDM-Toyota-7-5inch-Tors...p3286.m20.l1116

    What should I get?

    I know prolex have used LSD as well, but he will not ship them to Spain...

    Thanks

  7. I'm looking for an IS200 Sport LSD for my open differential Lexus. Problem is... I am in Spain so I need it to be shipped here, and not everyone wants to do it, although I would pay for shipping charges.

    So, if any one is breaking one or have any one spare, please let me know.
