Bit the bullet and splurged for a hardcopy 7 volume set Factory Service manuals. If anyone is interested here is an index of main chapters within each Volume. So if you want to order just a certain volume, then you know what is contained here within. Just thought I would share the info if not already out there somewhere. Factory Service manuals are worth their weight in gold.....first time one uses them, they pretty much pay for themselves. I am one who likes to work on my own cars. Self satisfaction knowing that the job is done right and no shortcuts taken. Even the best dealerships ( stealerships ) will try to gut you if they can....besides their labor rates and parts prices are exorbitant Lexus.pdf

Paul, Thanks for the update.....I was just making a general observation as to the frequency of use on this particular board.........07 - 13 Lexus LS460 / LS460L / LS600h.....it seems the first gen LS board forum...... 90 - 00 Lexus LS400....... gets a lot of action as it tends to be a younger audience......more of those cars on the road & the willingness I guess most of the guys that own these 460's.....tend to take their cars to the shop for repairs........whereas I am own for fixing it myself with a good set of factory shop manuals....in hardback books or CD-ROM or online service subscription....... Whatever it takes verses going to the dealership..... Thanks for your suggestions above.....much appreciated....

wow...this board does not get much action ......

White Pearl with Grey Interior...300k miles on it....all parts intact PM if interested in any part..... Will accept paypal.... Thanks,

The silver cover covering the main top part of engine under hood.....how does it come off ?? I have popped up the 2 back tabs off their posts....are there two others near the center of that cover ??? I don't want to force it & break the cover...... Your snappy answer to my stupid question is most appreciated...... Thanks in advance.

Hey...kaka007 ....don;t hijack the thread....start new topic.......

Have your alternator check & rebuilt if necessary. That was the culprit on my 1992 LS400 when I had the exact same problem.....

Never heard of an LS600.....I dont think they make one yet ......

I have had this same problem ongoing for the last 3 or 4 years. I guess I need to bite the bullet & replaced the fuel pump to see if that will fix the problem...internal fuel...ouch.....

turbo, I removed my alternator this weekend & took it back to the auto electric shop to have it re-tested. They bench tested the alternator. The rotor was bad. At higher RPM's, the windings in the rotor would open up. They replaced the rotor & I will re-assemble this weekend.. Now that the alternator is out of the car, I can clearly see underneath the power steering pump. There are no leaks or drips coming from the p/s pump. That's good. Hope this helps your situation. 5ofakind

I am going to be *BLEEP*ed off if I find out that the culprit is the alternator also. I just had it rebuilt about a month ago by a reputable shop....

turbo74pinto, Any update on your problem ? Mine are still flickering. I will check this weekend for P/S pump leak that may be just starting. I would hate to ruin a rebuilt alternator I just installed about a month ago. 5ofakind

Any auto electric shop that doesnt want to rebuild an alternator is definitely lame....must not need the business I guess...that is lame.... My shop charged $130 to rebuild, a little pricey but I still have my Toyota OEM alternator...not some Autozone piece of junk..... RDM, 80-90 is a great proce for the rebuild....
