Lexus LS 400 - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues - Page 7

bad fan relay or temp sensor

Get a fill kit with a pressure gauge on it from an auto parts store. The ones with a red, yellow,green indicator are the easiest to use. Follow the instructions on the label. You will be measuring pressure from the low pressure side, that's the one with the thicker aluminum pipe coming out of the compressor. There will be a service port with a plastic cap on it. That's where you connect the refill kit. Follow the instructions & get the pressure into the middle area on the gauge while the a/c is on max & the engine running.

Most likely if its anything like the old lincolns the airbag/shocks are blown. If this is the original set on this vehicle very good possibility. Best fix is a replacement set or if the coil over option is available much sturdier.

Sorry, but I think this is a dealer or locksmith problem. Suggest you call locksmiths and shop around.

Check the linkages between gear shift and Box could be loose. If these are OK get a transmission service by a good Auto Transmission shop

bad switch

Contact points have worn out inside the switch, replacement is necessary.

Injectors may be faulty.

One filament, in the bulb, is burned out. remove the bulb, look through it and see if it has two filaments. replace if necessary.

Randy, I would stay where you are unless you want power at take off. IMO that consumes more gas. So, if you want more power, you might want to consider a tune up. Do you know when it was last done? Besides, regular servicing is also very important. Good luck.

IF WHAT YOU SMELL IS RAW GAS THAT IS AN URGENT PROBLEM THAT SHOULD NOT BE PASSED OVER. IF YOU SMELL A ROTTEN EGG SMELL THEN YOU MIGHT HAVE A CATALYTIC CONVERTER PROBLEM THAT GIVES POOR ACCELERATION. CHECK FOR FUEL LEAKS AND CHECK FOR ENGINE VACUUM AT IDLE. MUST BE AT LEAST 19 INCHES,. IF NOT, YOUR CONVERTER IS PLUGGED.

Dirty injectors...try adding 2 bottles of Lucas Oil Gas Treatment...drive a day or so and feel the difference...also old dirty gas...has your Lexus sat for awhile?

Test battery with load tester. Check for electrical short.

Is this an automatic or a manual transmission?

Level sensor failing, replace

Hi Jorge. Por ahora, s?lo conduce a la misma velocidad que todos los otros conductores. En ese a?o, un problema com?n estaba poniendo demasiado lubricante en el cable del veloc?metro, causando que se pegue. Golpe? el tablero de la rociada unas cuantas veces y ver si eso lo har? correr. Quiz? deba reemplazar el racimo del instrumento. A veces se encuentran disponibles en los patios de demolici?n del autom?vil.

There are 2 fuse boxes on the Lexus. The first is the main power distribution box and is located right beside the battery under the hood. The second panel is located behind the plastic kick panel under the dash on the driver's side where your feet go. The panel is vertical and covers the area from the dash to the carpet on the floor, just forward of the door. I can't remember if it's a pull off or if there is plastic twist nuts holding it, so check carefully before pulling on it.

Sounds like a bad coil. i would swap the coils to run 2,4,6,and 8 and see if those started to misfire. If 1,3,5,7 still misfire I would do a compression test. Has the timing belt been replaced yet.

perhaps the turn signal flasher is toast. very cheap part . replace it first.
