LX470 Engine DIY Service Tips

Going through some maintenance things I had to do on the rig.
Recommend BG44K for fuel system cleaning. Nobody is paying me to say that. Just a good product

[@USA01930]

what else should i do when i do the timing belt water pump fan clutch etc?

[@MrDumbovic]

wow good know.. I have a 2004 lx and couple of features it has that I don't like , one is the it locks the doors when you shift to drive, and the other is on the GPS safty screen that comes on everytime you start the engine and you have to touch to agree... can these things be taken off...Thank you so much in advance .

[@djgonzophd9715]

Thanks for the vids. I'm in the market for a 99-00 LX. I'm presuming Toyota LC parts are interchangeable with the LX? Where do get your LX parts, aside from the dealership?

[@jimmyrk3]

You mentioned BG44K as a high-end cleaner not available at Advanced Auto. I did a google search of where to buy and came up with Wal-Mart and Auto Zone, those high-quality bastons of marketing. I wish you would have pulled the plastic cover so we could have seen the valve cover screws better and the throttle cable.

Do you also have the annoying "tick" coming from the Exhaust Manifold leak? Were you able to solve it without replacing the Oxygen sensors and manifold completely?

[@BeginnersLuckGarage]

I don't have the "tick" sound but i know it's caused by the manifold being warped pr cracked. Unfortunately the best thing to do is replace the manifold its cast iron so trying to weld the crack is difficult and costly. Each manifold with gasket should only be $270 and if you can replace it yourself that saves the $600 in labor cost per-side. Manifold bolts do suck to get out as they have been heat treated for years. Some people have replaced the manifolds with aftermarket headers. Might be what I do if the tick ever comes for me... Thanks for your comment hope that helps.

Hello Omar- Great videos. Where are you located? I was looking for someone to change the AHC on my LX470 to the regular suspension. Are you willing to do it for me? Not sure how to contact you directly. Thanks

[@BeginnersLuckGarage]

Hey Lijin- I can help you through the process. There are things you will need to buy like torsion bars springs and shocks. You can email me at [e-mail].

[@aderibigbeoluwasegun7003]

May I get chance to work with you men

[@Dani-jq6db]

Grest job bro.A few people of late with Lx have been having issues with brake booster and ABS accumulator that screeching sound on cold start up you get with warning lights sometimes.Have you had any experience with that maybe do a video on it bro.Thanks.

[@BeginnersLuckGarage]

Sure I can do a video on this but usually when that happens its the pump going bad.

[@Dani-jq6db]

BeginnersLuckGarage Yeah that's what I have been told and very expensive repair to.

[@abdainawi]

bro your stuff is cool , specially for me since i own 2004 LX470, but try to improve the stuff, i hope u dont mind & know what i am saying. best of Luck

[@BeginnersLuckGarage]

I know what you're saying. I wanted to get this video out fast so people can have the info. going to put some more effort into next video. Thanks for your input.

[@abdainawi]

exactly....please do share some more videos , so far i am done watching all of them . looking forward to see more. btw i have a ticking noise coming from ABS on & off , i came to know its actuator but can u tell me what can be done to eliminate it ?

[@BeginnersLuckGarage]

Not sure what the ABS Issue is without connecting a scan tool. Is the ABS light on? I would just bleed the entire brake system including the ABS solenoids and see if that helps.

[@abdainawi]

thanks for your response i will see to it. meanwhile appreciate if you consider making video on this bleeding process. Thanks again.

[@abdainawi]

The abs has finally gave away

[@mohammedh.5201]

Hey bro. After watching u deleting the AHC on ur lexus i did it yesterday. Every thing is good except one thing. The front is a little bit higher . What’s your advice? What should i do ? Is it about the torsion bar?

[@BeginnersLuckGarage]

Did you replace the torsion bars with land cruiser ones? If not you could adjust your torsion bars by cranking on the nut at the end of the torsion bars located directly under the center area of the car. This will get the front end back up but because you are over stressing the torsion bars some say it effect the handing and how the car reacts to bumps and stuff. I would get land cruiser torsion bars and do it right.

Hi there, I own a 2005 LX470 and I believe we live close. I was wondering if you will be interested in doing some work on my car?

[@BeginnersLuckGarage]

what are you trying to get done. you can email me at [e-mail]

Thanks. I just emailed you.

[@jimmythegeekstickeyrice6062]

Looking for 470 I love n Vegas 03 and up for 5 speed trans how many miles are OK

[@skhochay]

i 100% disagree with anything that prompts for injector, fuel line cleaners, # 1 gas from the tank goes trough gas pump filter, fuel line filter and injector filter. gasoline is not a diesel so gasoline is a strong solvent on its own so it will clean anything that runs over. The only internal components of the car that I clean is a throttle body and I clean it with - gasoline yes in deed. so all this additives is a big BS.

[@amejaremy]

I just replaced a fuel injector on mine because of a misfire code. Also replaced fuel filter in the engine compartment. The fuel that was coming out of the fuel filter was extremely murky. Why would it be murky? The fuel injection changed was the number 7 if I read the firing order correct which is the first one to get fuel from the filtered supply line. I'm hoping all the other injectors aren't as dirty but I ran seafoam cleaner straight into the manifold to soak them anyway, fuel trim numbers are good.
