I will replace both no matter what the cost is against having a peace of mind knowing that they won’t fail for a long time. I tell you this from experience, cutting corners is never a good solution.
What I would do is to change all sparks and wires then thoroughly checked the entire fuel system, if the problem persists. It is not a battery issue for what I can hear in the video you post.
Well, as you know EGR stands for Exhaust Gas Recirculation, but the pictures you show don’t look much like this but all cars are made different. It looks like an EVAP canister, too.
I may be asking a dum question, but did you bench bleed the master cylinder and adjust the push rod inside the brake booster? If not this will be the issue. ABS systems are very sensitive, so if when it fails you won’t even feel the difference. But, it will not cause the brake pedal to suffer the way you describe it. Don’t forget to do a bleed in the whole system even after you had bleed the master cylinder.
Have you actually checked fuel pressure on the system, or perhaps is in need of a new fuel filter. There are so many issues affecting this problem. I would do a complete diagnostic of the entire fuel system step by step.
Replacement could be a possibility, but before taking this route I will performed a transmission service to rule out the big bucks on a rebuilt or new transmission. Try to do this before it is really too late.
I am not an expert on Lexus, but I have been doing my own maintenance on all my three vehicles I own. This issue on your car sounds like a bad lifter to me and maybe you should think about going into a lifter diagnostic to rule out this possibility. It is what I would do, I know it sounds easier said than done, but if you like DIY stuff this will be a good task to take on. Perhaps could be a bad valve or a piston clearance issue. So, you need to look deeper into the engine, I would.
Just letting you know, you are not alone on this task.
I have the same predicament on my Ford Ranger, to me it is both a nightmare but also a dream to do this kind of work. However, it is not an easy job and it will require at least a week of labor to finish it. Since you have two of the same I will just swap it and done with it so your wife can have a working car again and tackle the bad transmission on your own but only if you like doing mechanic work. Otherwise, leave to the shop to do. In my case I am fixing the transmission on the Ford, it will be a big project for me, but I love to do my own maintenance on my three vehicles.Hello, Ali2627
I bought my wife a 2018 Toyota Corolla four doors, yes nothing wrong with it but just saying i have the same vehicle.
Ok, so from experience i can tell you there’s a fuse somewhere that controls the windows make sure you locate this and check it out. If you electronic windows like my wife’s car then it could be the window motor or the actuator that are not good. You will need to take the door apart to get to the window mechanism and go from there.
I had an experience like that just recently of my Dodge, both of the windows will not work. When I took the panel from the driver door, which is where all the controllers are, I noticed one of the plastic wheels that run on a rail to bring the window up or down was broken. I went to a junk yard and took the whole window regulator with the motor attached to it for the same model, replaced it and while there clean the harness for the whole electrical window system. Both windows work properly now.
Hope this help for you.Hello, ExileRed
I have read your post and from experienced i can tell you that either of those two cars you want to get will be easy to work on, specially since you are just getting your hands on cars. The only down side to it will be getting parts and if you can get them they might cost you some pretty penny. But everything is possible. I’ve been doing my own repairs for the past 10 years on all my four vehicles. I have found out that there’s no easy car to work on, you just need to initiate that very first step to get something fix. Start doing the easy stuff, and get yourself a good set of sockets and wrenches the experience and confidence will come to you as you progress along.
