tmastres Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Sounds like you have an ignition coil gone bad. Check out this recent thread http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...showtopic=54128 and/or search the forum for "coil" and you'll find all the info you might possibly want. #6 is at the front right and easy to replace. Be aware though, once one goes, more are likely to follow. 135 246 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
