PLEASE HELP ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(
tmastres Posted January 12, 2009 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
