100Amps @ 12 Volts

You can agree to work more hours - I think it needs to be in writing.
-
I would rather people keep on doing things like that to a Nova and leave good cars alone.

Oh dear! People have bid on it! Can somebody explain why you would want TV screens on the front of a headrest?

Removing Radio Head unit in IS200

You didn't look to hard - they are only two pages of articles in the workshop ;) (I will get this moved to the knowledgebase soon) http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/ind...showtopic=1161& -
You could try TDI - http://www.tdi-plc.com They are experienced with the IS200, supercharger and Unichip.

Do a search on the web for o2 simulator. You should be able to find some. A better solution would be to get it working correctly still using an O2 sensor. Maybe you need to take it somewhere else?
-
If you know where you are getting it set up then it may be wise to use products they are familiar with?
-
Do you mean a Lambda simulator?

Mine is around £1500. It's gone up about £400-500 in the last two years!!!!

I think the standard F-CON is designed for turbo engines. The S-AFC compares with the HKS Super AFR. Both modify the airflow sensor input into the ECU to make fuel corrections. Both would need to be set up on a rolling road. There is not much difference between the two. The Apexi one looks much better and displays more information however the HKS has finer adjustment (11 points/50 rpm steps compared to 8 points/500 rpm steps)
-
It allows you to alter the standard fuel map to make better use of any mods installed.
-
Creating an air leak will increase the amount of air not decrease it. The MAF sensor will not know about the extra air getting in and therefore won't add any extra fuel. If the O2 sensors are working correctly though the ECU will start to add more fuel to compensate.
-
Yes the O2 sensor should be tested for reaction as they can become slow. With the sensor oscillating quickly, averaging around .45v a quick squirt of propain will bring the voltage up very quickly and then should go back. Then disconect a vacuum line and the voltage should drop.
-
Not sure what you mean by O2 sensor was spot on at 1. Is that 1volt? If so then the engine is running very rich. Normal range is .3v to .6v
-
That is normal

The styling kit isn't fitted at the factory it's done within the UK. Probably the centre caps from the 17" wheels are used to fit on the new ones.

GS depreciation is not great and with a new model just around the corner it will only get worse.
-
If the problem is the engine is running too rich then yes it may help. Keep an eye on engine temp. There must be reason why the CO2 is high though: dirty air filter dirty MAf sensor Cat failure cat been removed. ECU been modified.
-
The guy with the RAV4 created an air leak after the MAF sensor by disconnecting a vacuum line which makes the engine run leaner.

Lexus/Toyota use different intervals in different countries. In the UK the cambelt interval was 60,000 (63,000) miles up to the year 2000 now it's 100,000 miles -

For all new Lexus engines it's 100,000 mile interval. -
:) Look like a fault with the traction control.

Check the oil level. Were the plugs changed?
