save yourself the 65$ and follow this. Its exactly hat they are going to do with a simple diagnostic.

You will be looking in the engine bay for the square plug in the first picture. It will say "diagnostic" on the top and also have a stick of each pin's identification under the cap.


As for the 2 spark lugs in the rear, I personally would not worry about them unless I am misfiring, or having issues because of them.

Ok I got the spark plug cables in the correct place. The car runs normal now. No shaking or driving rough anymore.

kene thnx for the tip but i didnt want to risk anything so i took it to the local import mechanic and they discovered alot of other problems. my GS had 3 oil leaks spots, it needed a new air hose, and distributer cap and plugs because oil had ruined them. Should all be done by Monday, and should be running good as new.
sounds good AJ STYLEZ

there is a product at autozone called purple power that works wonders, but if you are afraid of the chemicals on the driveway(some people are), there is also another product called Bio-Rem 2000.

I have personally used it at work and it was great in cleaning the grime off of the concrete pavements, and worked wonders on my office desk. Its 100% natural(uses microbes that feast off of carbon/petroleum products. They supposedly are using it for last years oil spill in the gulf, and I can vouch the stuff does work.

Is your driveway a very "pourous" material? If so it may be a bit harder to clean, but if it is slick & smooth this may be the Bio-friendly thing for you.

the distribution company is "dtdistribution"

Hey Kene,AJSTYLZ and DWOU15. I was so focused reading on this thread, and wow nice communication.

I had the problem with my GS300's rpm rev due to the problem from the TPS, and the way i fixed it was vary odd, I moved it tilt just a little and some how that cause to change the rpm rev from 2000rpm into now 850rpm. another If this doesn't make sense, I moved around a little bit tilt of the ignition distributors and create a change the rpm to change.

So I adjusted that way and left them like that into the RPM proper standing.


Is that Bad lol?

Btw massive respect to Kene information, I agreed with the symptoms
