  1. i had the same thing i spent 1300C$ to change the water pump & the thermostat.

    2month later i had the same problem, i changed the Radiator 800C$.

    its been almoust a year now that the car is fine.

    I Hop its not that the case with u, but its a bad sign when the motor overheats.

    good luck

    :huh:

  2. thx for the reply guys,

    i went to the garage and the problem was

    when its humid outside the humidity goes into the spark plugs wires

    so i have to change them and change my spark plugs.

    the car is ok now, we had a crazy rainy week here in Montreal so i think that was the problem cause now the car is normal again.

  3. At cold startups, the engine doesnt run normally and shakes because the car tries to adjust to the temperature before warming up.

    This is normal, but if it is bad, maybe you should get a tune up on your car. Thats what I recommend.

    thanks fo the reply, but the shaking that the car is making is not normal, it sounds like its gonna shut off then it comes back normal till its warm then its ok after. But it only dose that when i dont drive it for a day or 2 or its cold outside. :ph34r:

    but this happens only on the first 2-3mins when im warming up the car.

  4. Sup guys, i have a lil problem with my car, when i start my car and its cold outside the car shakes and the gas/rpm goes up and down then when its warm everything becomes normal, i spoke to one of my friends and he told me it could be the spark plugs is that true?.

    and when the car is cold and shaking there is this peace right in back of the pulley (i pointed it out on the attched pic) that shakes a bit when the car is cold.

    let me know if u have any comments. :(

  8. Hi guys i heard that there is a product or a paint that we could buy to spray on the seats (Leather) and they become as new no Crack no Wrinkles.

    Any info on your side>? or any body knows the name of this product>?

    Hint: i heard this from a body shop guy that told me he could do my seats for 100$ a seat and it will look as new as it came out of the show room.

  9. i know they are flashy but there is nothing wrong with that, 20"s would be sick but u need more $$ to spend, i got 18's for now and i will spend more $$ on the body kit, DVD player and the stereo :) i wil have to wait tell summer to slam my Rims on the car (Montreal winter sucks) lol :cheers:

    thanks guys and keep the comments coming :)

  11. Hi first i would like to thank all you guys for taking the time and trying to help me out. The problem was they did not well bled the cooling system to rule out the air pockets, when they changed the coolant reservoir/expansion tank. I did not go to a Lexus dealer cause it was far away from me and my car was over heating big time so i was driving for 2mins and giving it a break 10mins to cool down over and over... and i just pulled up at the nearest garage, i know that a Lexus dealer would never give me this problem, now some guys were asking why did it cost 700$

    it was 402 $CND for the coolant reservoir/expansion tank (order form Lexus)

    105 $CND for the sensor (order form Lexus)

    32$ for Coolant

    60$ labour

    My coolant reservoir/expansion tank was cracked so it was leaking coolant and the sensor wires on the reservoir was damaged.

    they changed my Thermostat for nothing it was there bad so i didn't pay for it.

    i just got my car back after 3days at the shop. it toke 2days to order the parts from lexus.

    So from now on if i need any parts for my car i m gonna order them from the U.S.

    Canadian Lexus dealer are just blood suckers down here and there isn't much sc400s around here in Montreal well not as much as the U.S.

    thanks again guys :cheers:
