help!

If its completely balless and acts like sometimes it wants to die then check you spark plug wires. Mine was acting like a bad fuel pump and was a sporadic problem but then got worse. I figured it was the spark plugs needed replacing but turned out the spark plug wire to the coil on the driverside was arcing against the valve cover. I replaced the wires and plugs while I already had everything apart. Then cleaned the throttle body too. Car runs like a MILLION bucks! These are Great cars. Also the surging problem at about 45mph went away too. I've read some people thought it was a bad torque converter. May want to do these things first before going through changing torque converters. This is a much cheaper fix. If you replace your own wires, BEWARE OF THE DRIVER SIDE COIL WIRE GETTING CUT BY THE CAM GEAR.

Hi,

Thank you everybody for your help so far.

@1990LS400 - I tried what you recommended but it was a no-go.

@VBdenny - I also tried what you recommended but it was a no-go.

Basically after doing some more diagnostics I have come to the conclusion the key transmitter is faulty.

So now my question is - What is the cheapest what to fix the key or get a replacement?

Thanks!

Just a heads up, I had the exact same problem and turns out the key had trash in it. I took the key cover off and sprayed electrical cleaner in the key with the battery removed then blew it out. Once dry put the battery & cap back on. Works like a charm!

3,000mi intervals are wayyy too soon for these cars. Save yourself a little money.

I do Mobil1 Full Synthetic 5W-30 every 5k

I change my oil every 7K miles using Mobile 1 full Synthetic 5w-30. Just start turning brown at that point. Its not even black though.
