  1. Even though i switch out both of the distributor rotor and spark plug wiring, still underpowered. Must be something wrong with either the wires or the rotor. Something feels like its being misfired. At night on Nov 18. the performace dropped tremendously and I looked in the rear view mirror and see large amount of smoke coming from the exhaust. I swear I can smell gasoline.

    After fixing a problem, new one keeps on coming...

  2. - UPDATE -

    -Switch out the spark plug wires which is a pain in the !Removed! to do. Tested it out by driving around. Performance remain unchanged. Shaking, Rumbing sounds and underpowered still remained.

    Change 1 one side of the distributor cap, Shaking, Rumbling sounds seems to disappear. Speed slowly picks up within 15-20 secs.

    So I needed to change the distributor cap [both side] and probably rotate rotors [if that possible for a simple man like me]

    Thanks everyone!! :cheers:

  3. 93 LS400

    In my previous post, still haven't changed the distriubtor cap nor the rotor yets... not the main problem so far....

    O.K. Here is my main problem for this post. Everytime I put my key in the ignition before turning.... dash board light lits up.... right after I turn the key, everything died. Later on, I decided to pop the hood and jiggle the positive and negative coil to see if they were loose which it isn't. Hood closed and tried again. Door light on the dash lits up again, so I decided to test the emergency lights and it died again.... Anything wrong?

  4. Right now, my milage on the car is

    ODO - 200k+.

    Thinking about engine swap the car with a RB24DET.

    Molding the R34 front on it now.

    I bought some BOSCH PLATINUM Spark plugs, maybe thats the reason.

    200k on my milage <-----owned me real bad..... Probably need to change out a lot of parts, but gotta ask a mechanic though first...

    Anyone here in Texas and know a good mechanic, care to recommend me one?

  5. I have a crap load of problems on my LS400 and I just can't figure out whats the problem.:chairshot:

    1 Car underpowered when accelerated.

    2 Car rumbles like it has sub woofers, but doesn't

    3 Smelling weird fumes after fully start.

    1. After I fully start the car, not much happens. I tried to floor it, but it doesn't do anything because when it reaches 15mph, it slowly climbs up. 0 - 60mph in 2.3 min.

    2. When I go to a complete stops at a stop light, it rumbles like it got mass farting problems. <_<

    3. For some reason, I smell weird fumes and I can't figure out where its coming from. :huh: . Whenever I go to work, I've become light headed as I step out of the car :D

    If you guys want to help me out, I can grab some pictures of my car.

    Just before I forget these are what I did in a recent week

    - Oil Change

    - Fuel Filter Change

    - Power Steering fluid

    - Switch out spark plugs [use platnium ed.]

    - and kicked the tires.....remember....always kick your tires....
