So I pick this 97 Lexus sc300 up about 6 months ago. It sat for 4 years with fluids in. Stupid previous owner. He is the list of parts i changed and checked. Also another list of symptoms and electrical issues I been thru.
Parts changed.
Spark plugs and wires / oil, filter / trans fluid / Shifter to transmission the shift rod / Brakes and fluid / Battery / Alternator/electric antenna / Air filter /gas filter / Installed a remote start from 12+ to pin 5 on the ig relay. starts with a crunchy little noise i only notice.
Electrical components change checked or installed
Changed -All fuses I found / Relays /Neutral safety switch / all lights / Antenna / ig switch
Existing issues
power steering leaks,
I hear ticking from i thinks the lifters / Water in the spark plug holes/ leaking top radiator / Transmission now dont shift correctly it takes a long time for her to find 1st gear. Tape deck does not work / Cd changer does not work
Its still will not shift correctly or start with the key. Suggestions please.
OBD 2 either flashes yellow or green when it ran good. Never a code??

What you have there is Toyota Soarer.
The car im thinking of restoring.
They come in straight 6 or twin turbo,or v8
Witch one have you got?
You say Water in the spark plug holes
You mean in cylinder?
Sounds like blown head gasket possibly
Damage coil packs as well.
Not cheap gaskets for this car
Or mechanical parts this car is like the rolls Royce for Toyota.
This car has too many electrics ,touch screen etc
For its age now unless you know how to diy don’t
Get involved with it ,what we call here money pit
thats my advice.
good luckloose spark plugs and i just pressure washed the engine. Not a blown head gasket. I just put a aluminum block in there a few weeks back. I haved all electrical spare parts for her, and I might put the sc400 V8 in her. I love the rear wheel drive in this lexus. So i need to know how to disable the anti-theft device?
That year model had issues with the ECU. It caused all kinds of strange problems..
