So I have a 1997 ls 400. I blew my head gasket so I ended up getting a swap with another 1uz engine with less miles. When the swap was done I drove the car out from the mechanic shop and it was running for an hour and it just turned off on me. I towed it back to the shop and the mechanic put a new relay. The car was running for 15 mins and it turned off. Then he changed out the fuel pump because it was coming up. I got a new ecu and the old ecu wasn’t reading that I needed an ignitor for ignition OEM. I bought that part and installed it but my car just turns on and turns off. Can anyone help me out?

For my LS 430 2005 with a brake wear alert on dash board but brakes work fine and there is no squeal or other noises when I use brakes. I have my local mechanic who will install front and back brake pads and rotors for a labor cost of $450. When I asked him how long it takes to do brake work, he said "1 day"!! Need help: 1. Does this model need pads and rotors both or just brake pads? 2. What is a fair labor cost for front and rear brake replacement by a non-dealer mechanic? 3. Assuming I need front and rear pads and rotor and sensors, which is the best after-market brand for rotors, pads, and for sensors separately? (I am told Lexus parts are very expensive). 4. Should I get ceramic pads or just regular pads (non-ceramic)? 5. Is it a good idea to buy my own parts (I am trying to use better parts than the local mechanic who will use cheapest parts). What if there is an issue or noise after installation? 6. Any other advise from the forum? Thanks in advance.

You did not have brake actuator issues on your 08 RX 400H? Mine only has 150k miles and I have not gotten to drive it in 2 years because Lexus wants 3k to fix the actuator I can't find it in any junk yards, it is also around $900-1000 anywhere else that I have looked I don't have that type of money laying around to pay on a car I just bought in 2019 and it had 143k miles so that tells you how much I have gotten to drive it. I am just so sick over this. If I could find the person that sold me this vehicle knowing this was an issue, Im unsure what I would do. I can only hope Karma bites her in the butt. She wouldn't budge on the price of it i should have not gotten it. We took the seats out and cleaned and she had kids obviously she just let her kids eat and gum it up, i got it so clean and looking brand new and then the first big rain it was leaking and the actuator was messing up and its been a mess. I know that she knew there was an issue. She lied and blocked me when I asked her about it, refused to give me the extra keys. So much crap. But hell who can afford an attorney even. IDK ill never own another lexus. I though about parting it out just to be able to have a down payment for another car. But with the low miles and i know how long they can last, I am just not ready I ooaid cash for it, and it is just hard to eat that cost idk what to do. -
