LexusES250 Engine Code Diagnosis
Hello all,
I was driving my mother in-law home today, and my check engine light came on. I have a 1990 Lexus ES250 with the 2.5L V-6.
It came on one time before, but I knew exactly what was wrong because it was misfiring due to fouled plugs. I replaced them, and left the positive terminal off for an hour and that cleared the code, I hadn't seen the CE light for a few months. But this one has left me wondering. I did notice to diagnosis plugs. One that looks like a pre-OBDII plug, and also another under the hood. Do I have the OD0 or the OBDI? Do any of you guys have code books? I know that this plug in isn't used today, and it will be hard to find a shop other than the dealer ( Which I really don't want to have to go to ) that has this type of plug in. My gas milage stinks, and it seems like the car is underpowered. Mind you she still hussles, but it just seems like she doesn't have it all.
Where can I find a scan tool? Lemme ask another question. My cat is shot I would have to guess. It's whistling, and stinks like rotten eggs. Could that be it? If it gets too hot will that set off the light? I hate my loud " Honda like " exhaust but just don't have the income to have it replaced. Anyways thankyou in advance.
Bart
