JWH Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I'm new to the forum having just purchased a 1995 LS400 with 132,000 miles on it in 7/07. It has been running GREAT with one exception. I've attempted to take it into several local mechanics and none have successfully resolved the problem, telling me it runs great. If I travel on the freeway for 50-60 miles at speeds of 65-75 MPH, when I pull off the freeway to either a stop sign or light, the RPM dwindle and the car dies. It'll restart immediately and run normally around town after that. Do any of you Lexus experts have a suggestion for resolving this issue short of taking it into a Lexus dealership...and a wallet biopsy for me.

TomWoodLexus Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 IAC. Try cleaning it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcrome04 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Maybe a treatment of Seafoam?? http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...&hl=seafoam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFeldes Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I believe there is a TSB for that. Contact a Lexus service manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiveofakind Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 TSB for a road problem......how would a TSB define that....interesting..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFeldes Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 This problem has occured a few times on here. Try doing a search...my fuzzy memory is thinking ECU and there was a recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMF Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 problem is that engine dies after highway driving and then coming to a stop, it is a know problem and there is a recall on that, as mentioned before, majority of 95 LS develop this some time in their lives. just like suggested previously, contact the dealer and arrange an ECU swap, if i remember correctly that what has to be done. make sure you dont agree to any "extra" services from the dealer:) since they are not going to be free:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ko90ls Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 The same thing happened to almost all 95-96 owners. if you do a search you can find a lot of into. i think NC211 was the first to diagnose the problem and has a long thread. it might even be a sticky? but there was a recall.
