  1. No, the switches on the drivers door and passenger door all seem securely fixed
  2. Can someone tell me where I can find either (or both) the Inlet Air Temperature Sensor or the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor on my 1994 ES300? Also, is the car fitted with a fuel filter and, if so, where is it and how easy is it to replace? I seem to have all the symptoms of fuel starvation which has happened before on previous cars and been traced to a clogged filter.
  3. Sorry, 1994, RH drive, passenger door
  4. Can someone please advise how to remove the door trim - I need to get at the window motor which has taken to working intermittently
  5. To answer my own question for the benefit of any others who may encounter the same problem, the fault has now been traced to an all but invisible split in the concertina air intake hose on the engine side of the butterfly valve air flow meter. When on an uphill stretch the engine moved back fractionally on its mountings, just enough to open up the split and allow too much air into the mixture, making it too lean to give any power. On level ground or downhill the split remained closed and so did not disturb the air/fuel mix.
  6. Has anyone any suggestions as to why my ES300 is extremely sluggish when doing hill starts. By sluggish I mean being out accelerated by fully loaded buses. I commute daily up and down a single track mountain road which requires several hill starts and the car simply does not want to pull away. It is OK when the revs get to about 3,000 but until then it is quicker to walk. Switching the A/C off makes very little difference. It is perfectly OK starting on level ground and has plenty of power going uphill in normal running. I have had the normal servicing done and new fuel and air filters, plugs etc. installed, all without success.
  7. I have just bought a 1994 ES300 'grey' import from Japan and have discovered 2 immediate problems which I did not find when I tested the car: 1. The cruise control only works up to speeds of 110 km/hr, it will not engage at higher speeds. Can this be adjusted? 2. The factory fitted radio only reaches 90.00 Mhz. Here in Hong Kong the only english language broadcasts are at 97.00 and above. Again, is there any way of adjusting this or does it mean a new ICE system?
