Well....I did the Rotor and cap change and I think that fixed the problem... the rotor was oretty ragged and I think it was the original from factory because it was made by Denso... my car just completed its 100thou mile-iversity, so that definitely needed to go....... So guys..if your car is acting weird like this, change that damn rotor! Thanks everyone 4 ur help..I will report any updates. PS Im going to Orlando all next week so that would be the super test. :D :D :D

Hey Mike, Hey dude, dont worry....its just a fuse somewhere...all electrical circuits in these cars are protected by fuses, just like homes...you just gotta find it and replace it... As far as my problem, Im gonna try that distributor thing. Hadnt thought of that... my alternator seems to be working fine, nothing is corroded or melted so for now Im going to asume the alternator is ok... Thanks again everyone!

Ok... I checked out my grounds and everything looks great... nothing loose or corroded... I have a question for MIKE....the guy who's having the same problem as me.... When the problem comes out, have you noticed that your antena doesnt retract sometimes? I mean, you turn the car off and the antena stays up... Also, do your fog lights work? For some reason my foglights dont work and there is no power going to them... I checked the ends and no current is going through... I tried to follow the wires for the foglights but it gets too complicated since it goes between the quarterpanel and chassi.... they were working fine before but not anymore....... If anyone has any ideas please let me know..thanks! I checked to see if there was a fuse for foglights and I didnt find one.... BTW, I dont have the owners manual so I have ANOTHER question... Are the only fuses for the SC found under the hood of the car? OR are there any fuses inside the car hiden somewhere. Thanks! ;)

Thanks alot guys, I will check all my grounds and stuff.... I will keep you guys posted.... also...is there any way to check your alternator without having to take it to tha fancy mechanics machine? Im wondering because if its an intermitent alternator problem, it would be great to just pull over and check if the alternator is working while its doing the problem...it has been impossible to have the car doing the problem while at the mechanics... Thanks again guys!

Hello guys, I have this weird problem that is hard to explain... Ill try my best... Sometimes, and it can happen at any time, my car gets the feeling it wants to turn off... but it seems to be an electrical thing because what happens is that the dashboard, radio, lights, and everything that is electrical dims in flashes, like if something was sucking power away from the electrical system, and sometimes it dims so much that the car just turns off. The car starts right back up though. Sometimes it continues doing the problem, sometimes it gets fixed for a few days...then it does it again. For example, I may be driving then I press the brakes and it dims a little, then I press the brakes and it dims again...etc, etc... then sometimes I press the brake and it just dims so much that it cuts off...but it doesnt only happen with the brake. I can be pressing the cluth, going on reverse and it just dims or turns off... I have been trying to get this car hooked on the computer but everytime I go to the mechanic, the problem hides away and wont come out for anything, so the computer doesnt read anything wrong. The other day I was a block away from my mechanic and the problem went away...Ironic... But yeah, if anyone has ever had this problem and could help please post a reply or email me... Any help would be greatly appreciated! email me at amontano5@excite.com PS- I checked both battery and alternator and both are good.

Hey guys, I recently saw some guy selling sc 300/400 needles at ebay... I dont know how good they are but they are there so u can chekc them out. U probably will have to do the install yourself though. Just type Lexus sc on the search thingie on eBay and youll find them good luck!
