Question Is there somewhere that I can go to find a repair book (HAYNES) for my lexus? I know it's the same as the camry but nobody seems to have it.
I placed a obd 2 tester on it and it said Im running lean and my o2 sensor needs to be replaced I replaced the front but cant see how to replace the on after the catylic convertor. Thanx for any help you can provide -Q-
AnswerNo, You'll ahve to buy a 92-96 Haynes manual for a Toyota Camry. Mechanically you've got a 'special" Japanese built Toyota Camry so. Out of warranty, I'd never set foot in a Lexus dealer for a mechanical problem.
You can also download the entire Factory Service Manual for it on www.LexusOwnersClub.com if you register & check the USA Forum.
You don't replace the one after the cat convertor for a lean code. (That's bank 1 sensor 2).
The Bank 2 - sensor 1 is on the right hand exhaust manifold. I.E. The exhaust manifold on the firewall side of the engine. It takes a little wiggling to get it, but it's not impossible, or generally *technically* a hard, complicated thing to do. It's just a matter of slipping a hand & wrench back in there with enough aptienace to not cut your hand up. Because it's on an exhaust manifold, it's obvious that you should do this with the car 100% cold!
Aslong as the o2 sensor fails the diagnostic test, I would replace the o2 sensor. You can spend alot of money on an o2 sensor with a plug on it, or you can spend less money for an o2 sensor without the plug, cut the old plug & wire off the old o2 sensor & solder + heat shrink it on the new plug. (You can crimp it too, I just like soldering. Doesn't bother me as I've worked in mild electronics so...)
