On my 93 es300 theres a button you push and to me it feels faster when you have it enabled. Its right by shifter and says ECT on it. I was wondering what this does and means? The guy i bought it from says it opens up the injectors more and puts more fuel in the engine making it accelerate faster...is that true?

Also my windows are constently foged in the cold weather is there a way to prevent this?

When you engage the ECT it tells the transmission to redline every gear before shifting, taking full advantage of your powerband. While in Normal the transmission will shift at 3 or 4 thousand RPM's insted of the redline.

About the fog....Clean your windows. Make them very clean. You can also use some type of protectant/anti-fog spray or something. But cleaning them is the cheapest and easiest way to help.
