offer Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum as I just purchased a Lexus. What a car! I recently drove my 95 Ls 400 for about 2 hours on tghe highway at an average speed of 130kmh. When I exited the off ramp and slowed down the car shut off.It did the same thing on my return trip home as I was slowing to get on to a bridge. Needless to say, this problem is an accident waiting to happen. In addition the car somtimes shakes and vibrates when I release the gas pedal between 40 and 60km/h. Other that , the car is in great shape, no rust and 155 k. My questions are:Can I continue to drive the car without purchasing an expensive ECM? Has anyone gone to Lexus armed with the TSB in order to reduce the cost? Can I do anything to other than buying a new or used ECM to remedy the problem?
VBdenny Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 Sounds like a nasty problem. Maybe the car isn't downshifting and is staying in 4th gear. I know when the wire broke in the trunk mine did the same thing and I had to downshift manually. When it happened, I knew what it was since the reverse light on the dash came on when I applied the brakes. Thanks to the people around here, I fixed it in no time. Did someone tell you the computer was bad?
93ls400walt Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 This was extensive threads on the issue of the 95ls dropping rpm/? stalling coming off the freeway. Seemed to be fixed by a new ECM. There are shops that repair ECM's for 2-3 hundred dollars. Goggle ECM repair. Some have kept the A/C on to keep the RPM up coming off the freeway. The shaking may be a tire balance prob. at the minimum. Or worn front suspension parts. Good luck
