I'd think you'd want your window down to let the heat build up escape while your a/c gets going, after sitting in the heat at work, unless your work has a parking garage, which one place I worked at had one....Another possibly is you haven't gotten around to installing the Vintage Air kit you bought for your '60's-'70's muscle car......btw those are awesome kits & are easy to install......

Replaced my charcoal EVAP canister
Car developed a P0456, P0455 & P0441 a while back. I got a used EVAP canister and put it on.
What a PITA. You have to drop the exhaust system from the engine to the rear bumper! Does Toyota hire engineers to find ways to make things more difficult? The problem part is not the EVAP canister, but a solenoid that opens an air valve. But the valve is built into the EVAP canister, so you have to replace the whole thing. New EVAP canisters are something like $450.

yea i always thought that somehow; these early gen lexus designers/engineers just loved to come up with ways to really tick people off when it comes to wanting to try and do work on them on their own; such as replacing transfer cases or something else maybe along those lines; or even worse yet; replacing the rear plugs/coil packs which as we know is a royal pain in the A##! which in the end makes question "what the heck were they thinking"

Did a restoration write up on it at this thread if anyone needs it.

PS- Did you do the paint on car and rims yourself? I've seen similar color on a newer Toyota truck over the holidays but didn't look as good or as shiny- maybe they didn't use as much clear coat.

My seats looked like hell and almost bought new leather seat covers- glad I didn't.

It’s plug and play for the most part but you have to transfer the OEM A/C display motherboard to this radio for the controls to work. No instructions, just a video link of two guys installing it....so warning: know what you’re doing if you get this. Their support was responsive though.
