  1. Thanks again guys. I'm heading to Advance Autoparts and pick up some of my supplies. It looks like I won't have to wait too long for it to get worse. That starting noise is getting more frequent now. It happened twice yesterday of the four times I started my car. I did my taxes already and the refund is coming in this coming week, so if I can't figure it out, the indie should. :)
  2. It kinda sounds like the engine backfires right before it starts. You might just have to let it go until it gets worse. Have you had a recent tune up and throttle body cleaned? Might not hurt to try some injector cleaner and some dry gas in the tank. She had her plugs/wires done about 30,000 miles ago by her previous owner. Timing belt/water pump was done about 17,000 miles ago. Throttle body I'm not sure has ever been done. Is there a particula injector cleaner any of you guys have used that you could recommend? Or could I just pick either one? I'm not sure what you mean by "dry gas in the tank." I assume you mean put the injector cleaner in the tank when it's empty before I fill up gas? Thanks for the info Ray
  3. Haha, yeah I love the show. Looks like I'll end up buying this season on DVD. Scheme---------->Plot
  4. The part with the guy on the Segway was too much LOL :D
  5. Thanks. I'm taking her in next week on my day off. We'll see what transpires
  6. Correct---------->Right I love Nip/Tuck as well. Unfortunately I usually work nights on Tuesday so have missed these episodes this season thus far. Season 15??? Nah man, the show hasn't been on that long Either way, great show. I love the promos for it though particularly this season. :)
  7. Hey guys, I've searched through the forums but am not sure what might be the problem. In the video if you listen closely, you can hear a strange "creek" noise when the car is supposed to start. When the noise happens it feels as though the car missed and it jolts a little while trying to complete the starting process. I don't have a Check Engine Light on either. I am taking the car in to change the high pressure hose for the power steering, but since this starting problem only happens from time to time, I'm afraid the mechanic won't be able to duplicate it and therefore not be able to tell me anything. You know how it is, whenever a car is at the mechanic's and you're trying to show them what is wrong, everything works perfectly LOL. I was lucky enough to be able to film it today as I notice the problem usually happens on cold starts. Another problem that the car has is that it idles kind of high not just when its engine is cold but also if it's all warmed up and I'm driving it. Oddly, if the car is all warmed up and just parked idling the RPM's will eventually lower to the normal range. Any kind of feedback is greatly appreciated guy. Thanks again. BTW, it's a 1995 LS400 with 130,000mi. Ray

  9. Damn, I wish I could make it. I'm working all day and early evening tomorrow.
  10. I don't think so. I believe the first LS with drive-by-wire was the '98.
  11. Dear Paul, It's always sad to see one of my LOC brothers or sisters leave. I wish you all the very best on your new LS400less endeavor. Ray
  12. It's not bad, but I do agree it does look like a Focus, and the blue emblem at first glance looks like the blue oval. Apparently Lexus is using the blue emblem on their hybrids nowadays. Personally, I just like the "h" to designate hybrid.
  13. Congratulations DC on the 8,000 posts! MG Midget-------->British
