  2. Air Intakes are known to throw CEL codes and sometimes TRAC codes out randomly, your car either likes them or it doesn't ... my 01 doesn't so I had to take mine off haha ... I would first of all take off the Injen and try your stock filter setup, reset the computer [by unplugging the battery terminals and replugging them] and see how that goes, it should solve your CEL and TRAC light issues ... as far as the vibrating? The car might have been lowered and re-raised before you bought it? Might have been in an accident? I would get a front end alignment done or a 4 wheel alignment from your dealership, that will prolly run you a good $110 at least ... again, mine does the same thing because after I got my brakes done, the shop I took it to neglected to re-align my suspension. I've also had my wheels and tires (all new by the way) rebalanced a few times so I'm assuming this is my problem ... no biggie ... as far as the headlight goes? hmmm, I would have to say it was possibly in an accident or maybe just faulty wiring .... but dont mess with that stuff yourself [or at least make sure nobody is messing with the headlightswith] because to fire the HID headlights a huge amount of power is needed, 25000 volts I think it is, i could be wrong ... I have never had issues with my 01 IS300, I've kept it properly maintained, it has 106,500 miles on it and still kicks serious !Removed! when people try to race me :) ... the only thing ive EVER had a problem with is my CD player dying, I'm on my 2nd one and the sunroof motor went out ... recently had the timing belt and drive belt and crank seal changed at my local dealership and that run me about $650 but well worth it. Good luck with the car and enjoy!

    Hi I have a 2001 Is300 and right about now im not too happy with it. It has 70,xxx miles on it and its and e-shift. It has some crappy 18's on 40 series falken's. It also has an injen intake and some retarded red painted covers on the engine and arm rests and cupholders. Im the second owner I believe and the cel stays on all the time and blinks when i come to idle or get on it hard. I have had the rims and tires balanced but it shakes a lil bit at 35-40 and up. Its not that big of a deal on smooth roads, but on less than smooth roads its annoying. The codes it is bringing up is multiple misfire codes on like all cylinders and o2 sensor. Also, the driver side headlight periodically decides to go out and stay out for a period of time. It is very inconsistent and hard to diagnose when and why this happens. Are these problems anyone else has faced and where should i start to fix the problems. I took it to the dealer and that was a HUGE waste of 95 dollars as they told me to they were going to do a 60k service and if that didnt fix it than they were just going to start replacing things. Anyways I bought a set of plugs and wires to start with and any other recommendations would be great. I need any help you can give me whether it has to do with the vibrations or the headlight or the cel codes and TRAC OFF light blinking on and off. I want to sell the car and get something that can actually drive in the snow because im moving to michigan. I thought i had problems with other cars driving in the snow; you might as well park the IS when the white stuff comes down because that car is useless in the snow even when im using 225 pirelli snowsports. Anyways thanks for any help you can give me! God Bless You!
