Default SRT ECU wire diagrams

nsf0607,

Post this in your sticky.

Every month someone is looking for these. Here are all the GS & SC SRT ECU wiring diagrams. Another member is working on posting the complete manuals. One exception they don't make a kit for the SC 430 but Pearlpower posted up a diagram for the SC430.

90-01 GS300


02-03 GS300



98-00 GS400



01+ GS430



02-05 SC43 (from Pearlpower)

Default Complete DIY: MAF sensor and throttle body cleaning

As there was not single good source on Club Lexus, I just posted a complete DIY (with pics and schematics) for the MAF sensor cleaning and throttle body cleaning for the V8 GS400 and GS430 here:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=345147

OVERVIEW SYNOPSIS
Why: to remove deposits on the MAF sensor, and carbon deposits on the throttle body that rob the car of fuel economy, power, throttle response, and idle smoothness
Cost: $10 in parts [CRC MAF cleaner ($6) and Valvoline Carb, Choke, & Throttle body cleaner ($4)]
Time: 30-45 minutes
Difficulty rating:1.5 of 5 (pretty easy to do)
How often: recommend once every 2 years (or when you replace your air filter)

Result: smoother idle while in gear and parked, better fuel economy, and more immediate, instant throttle response.

Jason T got them working now, but I could not get the links for the "Valve Stem Seal Replacement Guide" working. Can you check them and I will update the first page when you get back to me.

Thanks
Nigel
