Only the computer knows....
Without the codes it would take an engineer/programmer several days to troubleshoot a Lexus.

Sounds like a metal contact issue to me. Sounds like the metal contact contracts during the cold, and then expands once your heater kicks in. I had a similar problem with a Domestic car nearly ten years ago. Have a mechanic check all the connections. I doubt that's a serious issue.
As for the ES300 Shock issue..
Just get the parts from Irontoad.com or any dealer. The parts are inexpensive, and any competent independant mechanic can do the repair.
Hope this helps,
SV
thank you
Finally got the Engine Mounts replaced on the '92 LS. (Damaged in a 30 MPH side impact..Long story..) The dealer also found a cracked Coolant tank. The insurance company also agreed to fix it.
So I only got the car back two days ago. I was wonderfully amazed with how the car ran. After 6 visits to the dealer in 8 weeks, I was finally satisified with the post accident repairs. I'd gotten two engine mounts, a new front bumper, LF quarter panel, and whole Left Front suspension out of it.
Yesterday, I was driving, and the Tach Needle began to flicker, and with a puff of smoke shorted out. AHHHH! How much is this going to cost me this time? Or should I just sell the damn car?
It's hard to believe, given the mileage on this car (87K). I know plenty of LS owners with 100K+ that haven't had these sort of problems. I bet the Lexus service guys are going to have a laugh tomorrow when I call them yet again...They in fact told me to sell the car after the 90K service...
What do you LS owners think out there? Should I just pay up or replace it with something else?
Sorry to whine about this car continously, but as you can tell, I'm really annoyed..It was PERFECT before that lady hit it!!!!
Thanks,

This year, however, the state of CA added the dreaded NOX test. This is the most expensive and obnoxious test yet. To make a long story not so long, my car failed the NOX.
Called around to the dealers and some independent shops and got quotes of $277 to $360 just to diagnose the problem and perhaps spend as much as $900 additionally if catalytic converters were needed. One shop even made the idiotic suggestion that I might need O2 sensors, another $600 to $900.
Fortunately, had the problem diagnosed and solved at Prestige Auto in S.F. They replaced my EGR modulator valve and vacuum control valve. They were great guys and the service was terrific. Total cost, $427.00 including a new smog certificate.
I have a 93 LS 400 that has 1 or 2 bulbs burned out. Some postings indicated owners had found this unit to be sealed and were unable to replace the bulbs. Can anyone confirm that the 93 LS a control unit with replaceable bulbs.
Also can anyone tell me where I can purchase these bulbs. It would be great if someone had a specific part number.
Thanks
