The nightmare is finally over (for now) I got the crankshaft pulley replaced; I just picked it up from Lexus,($357

) since I had no time to wait for the boostlogic to be delivered...the car is running again but now I have a "gentle" tremor going on...time for a tune up I bet!

I think it's been some time...

THANX JOHNEE78!

what are the symptoms of a bad harmonic balancer? my rear end shakes at anything above 40. I'm hoping its just unbalanced wheels/tires but i'd like to have something ready to check if thats not it.

You guys are awesome! Thanks for helping me replace this myself, saved a ton of money. I'm on a SUPER tight budget so I had to get a used one out of the junkyard for $30, comes with a 90 day warranty though
