devsomai Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hay Fellas....Got a 1999 GS300 about 90k miles..with a big problem with stalling.......Car was working good and just went nutz........when i start in the morning, the RPM goes moves up from 1100 to 1700 for a few minutes...... 2 seconds after i pull off it dies down<stall> if i hold the gas down, it will rev up all the way and gain some speed........if i floor the gas from a dead stop, it will take a long time to pick up....So i change the TPS and no improvement...then the MAF sensor...same problem. When i reset the Computer, the car will shake for a few minutes and i have to drive a few miles before it gets better. Problem get worst with the intake install...and Ideas...

I am currently having the exact same problem with my 99 gs 300. i have 96,000 miles on it and have replaced: pedal position sensor MAF sensor TPS spark plugs, sp wires, battery, thouroghly removed and cleaned the throttle body, readjusted the gas pedal and throttle cable, replaced oil/tranny/differential fluids and said alot of swear words- all to no avail. The only difference is my car decided to drive itself for awhile and the rpm s continue to climb in park or nuetral- then the car jumps when put in gear- even slammed into a metal pole once when it was put in gear. I am at a loss and the lexus dealership in my area keeps telling me to replace a new thing everytime i go there and nothing solves the problem..........please can someonew shed some light on this issue before i have to buy another part.............

allengrafx Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 lexus replaced a sensor on my 99 gs300 and never stalled again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phollero Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 lexus replaced a sensor on my 99 gs300 and never stalled again. I had a similar engine stall. The problem in my 93 GS' case was the valve cover gasket was bad and was leaking oil into the spark plug well causing a bad ground. Did you check for oil or moisture in your spark plug areas?

GS3HUNDRED Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 i think you should consider going to a different lexus dealer, who can diagnose the problem and get it fixed instead of having you change parts and waste money for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
