Re: When do you change a timing belt on a 1998 lexus...
For most Toyota vehicles, to be safe you should change the timing and accessory belts, associated belt tensioners, thermostat, water pump, coolant, plugs, fluids, and filters every 60,000 miles.

Certainly! Here's a question inspired by your inquiry:
"I'm a proud owner of a 1998 Lexus LX470 with the Lexus Premium Sound System, Matsushita Model No 8620-60320, Reference No CQ-LT4730A. Does anyone have information on the pin-out and schematic for this particular sound system? I'm looking to understand the wiring better and would greatly appreciate any insights or resources on this topic. Thank you!"
looking from the front of the engine , the pulley mark on the LH cam pulley lines (12o'clock) up with the centre of the 2 notches and the RH lines up (12 o'clock) with the single notch. On the crank one mark will be lined up with a single notch at about the 1 o'clock position and another at the 3 o'clock position lined up with a series of dots. Ensure that you have the piston on TDC no1 first and align the crank marks first.
It sounds like you have a misfire condition. It is probably time for a tune-up. Lexus recommends spark plugs at 60K and the timing belt replaced 100k for your 470. hope this helps.
reccomended every 80k going past 120k is really pushing it. if it breaks while running, it'll damage the engine internally by the pistons hitting the valves. if its original get it done, thats alot of age for a rubber belt to be in svc. too
