Update
Last october i joined the group because of concerns with my 96 es300. I think one of the post was titled not again. It happened to be exposed wire going to a sensor close to the harmonic balancer. So i repaired the wire and low and behold, dang thing runs like a beast. The check engine light is still on but the car seems to run fine. I've noticed that the obd2 plug only has 4 pointsor prongs. I used a Bluetooth plug witch works fine on all the other cars in my household except this on. So i haven't pushed the issue since it runs fine. So as of now im more concerned with the electrical issues instead. The instrument cluster works but no back lights, so i cant see how fast im going, the warning lights work and needles work. I have a couple of junkyards near by and i can look at the inventory online. A lot of these es300 come and go. What im wondering is what years can i swap without modifications. The clusters, dash, tail lights, headlights, and so on. The lower door panel clips need replacing. Also ive seen a couple of cars for sale for about a grand. I got mine for 1100 and in bad shape. As of now its our daily driver and pretty happy with it. I don't plan on getting rid if it since it's been reliable considering the miles 267582 on it. And its fun to drive. Id like to thank the few people that responded on my last few post last year, it was very well appreciated, thanks and ill be more active on the forum time permitted 👍
