  1. actually, an IS430 WILL be in production; it's been green-lighted. i spoke with my dealership (Lexus of Lansing) and they are expecting to start seeing IS430s in a couple years or so.
  2. i currently have TOYO Proxes FZ4's-- they have under 2000 miles on them. i want some suggestions as to replacement tires because these are very noisy. it drives me crazy at any speed below 80-85 mph (so essentially...all the time!). thanks in advance
  3. i couldn't locate the cleaner you guys recommended, so i called the local asian import shop and they said they use Redline injector cleaner. i picked up a bottle and am running it through the current tank of gas. i'll let you guys know if it's a success
  4. thanks guys! i'll get the BG 44K cleaner tomorrow. if that doesn't cure it, i'll try cleaning the throttle body. thanks again!
  5. upon starting my car up in the morning, it runs very erratically, stumbling irregularly, etc. once the car has heated up after 20 minutes of driving or so, it no longer does this. any ideas on what this might be? there aren't any warning lights illuminated. i was thinking maybe a bad injector(?) by the way, it is a 93 LS with 122,000 miles
  6. i am having a very similar problem. i live in MI and it's been cold lately. when i get in the car, NONE of the dash lights light up (instrumentation and radio & climate control backlighting; although the buttons that are selected still light up). after a few minutes of driving, they flicker for about 3-4 seconds, then come on as normal. it does this after the car has been parked for a few hours or over night.
  7. yes, they put a sticker (in my case, near the shock tower on the passenger's side) with the mileage and the date the timing belt was done. if your are unsure, get the service records from the dealership/ shop the car has been maintined at; they will be able to confirm if it was done.
  8. the engine light and trac liight typically come on about 30 seconds after a reach highway speeds and stay on until i reset the lights.
  9. i'm having a similar problem with my 93 LS (114, 500 miles). the odd thing is, the light only comes on when i reach sustained highway speeds (70-80 mph). I reset the light after the trip and it will not come on (for weeks) until i get on the highway again. any ideas? similar to the above post, my car seems to stumble also on occasion.
