stryami Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I have a 95 lexus with 250k miles. Few weeks ago my car randomly died while i was drive. I tried cranking it up but as soon as i changed to drive the engine immediately died. The car can crank up and the engine can idle for 20 secs before it dies. Also the battery and oil pressure light is coming up when it dies. I took it to a local mechanic and they said it might be a "computer" problem?

lenore Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 If you hold the gas pedal down does the car stay running.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenore Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Could be the Idle control valve. Maybe a cleaning might fix your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
