Hello everyone. Just pruchased a 91 es250. Got it for $500. Car has about 129k miles. The car is in good condition. White/tan color. Just finished detailing the exterior and exterior. Car was misfiring on cylinder #3. Changed the plug wires, plugs, distributor cap and rotor and that solved the problem. Changed the oil and flushed the rad fluid as well. The next on my llist would be to do a tranny and power steering flush. I will post pics when i get the chance. Loooking forward to learn more about this car.

Oh and by the way i just wanted to make sure that i could use the struts from the camry right? I was thinking of getting the tokico and its only llsted for the camry. Thanks...

you can only use the tokico inserts if you have serviceable struts ... the ES is basicly the v6 camry mechanically.

Do yourself a favor... DO NOT FLUSH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION> If you do.. You will soon be changing a transmission. Just drain and fill as to not disturb anything....
