Hi I am brand new owner of 1998 Lexus ls400. I am very happy to own it and it is a amazing car. I have never owned a Toyota or Lexus so I want to see if these things are normal with the car. I really appreciate any feed back.
1.) RPM's run normal at 500 in drive. However, after driving the car and shifting it into park the RPM's go up slightly to 600-700. When I shift into gear they go back down to about 500. Just want to see if that is normal?
2.) The car seems to run very smooth and good. However, when the car is in park and I press down on the accelerater it pings right up to like normal on the RPM's but the car seems to have a little resistance feel or like a little light flutter? I feel the same very light flutter when I am accelerating from stops. Almost like it has a little clog or something.
Again, I really appreciate the feedback. I look forward to hearing back from you. Walk in Love!
