1992 SC400 owner here. My car has the same 1UZ-FE engine as yours. Yeah, man. I went through the whole, "OMG, this ain't the right sensor!" experience, when I bought the small one on rock auto, thinking it would be the solution. I'm in Canada, and the only place I can get it is from the Lexus dealership. Are you sitting down? $514 before taxes, baby! If you can get the part for $250, consider yourself LUCKY.
You can get Toyota fan clutch silicone for your fan clutch I just put some in my fan clutch Asin. It's stiffened it up. There's videos out there on Toyota fan clutch repair
Hello i liked this video you posted. I also have a Lexus LS400 1998 Model.I believe i need a temperature sensor. I was told it has more then one temp sensor. So, at the moment i do not know which of the two sensors i need. However, the problem with my car is that the Temp gauge starts rising when i drive the car in the summer or when i have tehhAC on. But the temp gauge will drop to the 'C' level with the AC on. So, i'm hoping someone can see this message and kindly give me some information so that i may resolve this problem.
Sounds like you have a clutch fan not Engaging. I would start there. Clutch fan Supposed to cool the engine. The black fan you see on the front when you open your hood is your a/c fan it turns on when you turn your a/c on
@@lexuslife My a/c fan doesn't turn on. I recently read the the outside ambient temp missing tells the computer to not allow the fans to engage if the outside temp is below -22 degrees or something like that. Do you know anything about that?

I have a acdelco D583 temp sensor... but I have not installed it I think I got it from a local parts store O'Reilly's. Or Amaz..
thanks for this, I am having trouble with my sc430
I changed my starter that was a pain in the ass and after I got a p0115 and it has trouble starting and running rough
@Lexus Life why is your speedometer not working?
Does the 2000 ls400 use the same sensor?
where can i get this sensor?
Did you find out where to get it ?
The Actron CP9670 give me live data on my 1995 LS400... temps and O2 sensor voltage

What diameter size did you get for the upper coolant hose for adding the coolant gauge ? Thank you man awesome video
It's a 36mm
So does the gauge not work or the sensor?
Hello do you know if the 93 ls400 has the same sensor on a different location just because mine doesn't have it on the location yours is at @lexuslife
That's because mine is a 1992. 93-94 hads a different EGR system
