OmarG Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Hey guys, i need your help. I just got back from testing my car and the fastest 0-60 time i could get was 9.5 secs. The car runs great but the exaust sounds more warbley in the 94 than in the 93. The 93 is faster about 8.1 for 0-60 and quieter. Also when breifly tap the gas in idle, the car sputters and stumbles slightly and rpms drop momentarily. What do you think is wrong? Thanks!

CanadaCraig Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Hi OmarG!! :) I hope you're OK. I've owned my 1993 LS400 for almost 3 years now. A LOT of money has been spent trying to solve ITS problem with slow acceleration. Nothing as really helped. It often feels as though I'm towing a small trailer. My car takes anywhere from 11 to 13 seconds to reach 60 MPH. The only thing left to change is the right ignition coil - which has been on order for about a week now. If that doesn't magically solve the problem - I'll just have to accept that my car is a bit of a dud. [because I can't think of anything else TO do] My car ALSO sputters and stumbles and the RPM's drop whenever I VERY briefly tap the gas pedal when idling. Once in a while the RPM's will drop so low [when tapping the gas pedal at idle] that the engine almost stalls. If you find a solution to the problem - please - OH PLEASE - let me know!! Thanks and good luck. Craig!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pettit Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Craig, Could it be a fuel delivery problem? Maybe a fuel pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarG Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 OH NO! u have the same symptoms! as my black jade! I think the car needs a tune up but I will tell you if it helped. It doesn't necessarily feel slow. It just is. 9-10 secs for 0-60. I hope the tune up and some seafoam helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaCraig Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Hi pettit!! :) Thanks for the suggestion. But the fuel pump and fuel filter have already been replaced with new. [Among many other things] None of it has helped. :( The dealer has my car again. They gave me a 2005 V8 Toyota 4Runner to drive. I can't complain about the service - that's for sure. I've lost count of all the courtesy cars I've been given. Craig!! :) OH NO! u have the same symptoms! as my black jade! Hi OmarG!! :) You know something? Maybe it's the 'Black Jade' colour that's causing all the problems!! lol :P Good luck with the seafoam. Please tell me how that works out. Craig!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
