  1. Good, you are a great lexus friend.

    what do you think about my problem? I ask the dealer to check my car yesterday by the electronic case and they say it's the spark's wires. If they change the wires and it"s not fixed? I must try my car before pay the bill?

    thanks

  2. i come back from the dealer. First they don't have the good case for my (old) car... so, the technician take my car and go to the underground of the garage. After 10 minutes, he comes back and tell me that : BEAM.

    they change sparks last week but they don't change beam.

    If someone can explain me what is BEAM? and the price???

    Thanks a lot

  3. hi

    i have a little (!) problem. I change my spark this day because i hoped that is the problem but not...

    I start, but immediatly after i feel the counter rpm make a little fall down all the 5 or 10 second. It make a little vibration in the engine too. It's something like a fall down regim uneven. When i accelerate, the car cought a little but in high round the engine run perfect. It does it on position D or P or N. But on N it's very small.

    i'm very afraid about that. I'm afraid to stop at all moment.

    must i go to the lexus dealer to switch the "electronic case"??

    Please, if you have a little thing to say to me, thanks to tell

    see you later.

    Regards

  4. hi all

    i have a lexus ls400 model 1990 with 123000 km. I change oil last month and filters.

    This night i hear the engine turning wrong. At stop, the rpm go down all the 5 seconds. At all positions P, D, N...

    When i drive, i fell the rpm wrong also. I change the sparks in 2007 at Lexus garage. The car has 100 000km in 2007.

  9. My car stay several years on the sun and the sub is dead.

    All forums says that we must find the same : 40 RMS, 2 OHM, 8".

    On ebay, there is nothing. What is 40 RMS? is someone can explain to me the RMS?

    8" is the diameter so, 20 cm.

    To connect only two wires. It's important for the polarity?

    Thanks all

  10. Here in France, acura/honda legend all years have lots of problems engine.

    My seller go now since 6 years to toyota.

    I speach a lot with him. We love Lexus LS400, Accord, Legend, MAXIMA... But we are agree : LS400 and 430 are the best.

    Maxima is a cataclysm in motor dysfonctions. Accord is good but in made in japan only. Here in Europe, accord were made in England...

    I have an accord aerodeck 1996, made in USA. One of my best car. But in manual transmission (Bouh!).

    My father have a Xedos 6, V6, nice car, never problem. 1996.

    The xedos 9 was the biggest model of mazda. too expensive for my father.

    In family, we forgot french car, poor quality, bad service. Never made in france... They make french car in the east europe like Volkswagen.

    BMW and AUdi or Mercedes, certainly good cars but dealers change parts with our money at each visit.

    here is the story of a little european and french driver.

    Regards

  11. Well

    Thanks all. i feel better when i read your suggestions.

    This day, no smoke. I must be careful and see the next days. Perhaps it's the cold weather.

    So, when i read the forum about LS400 first generation, i see that the power steering system is a source of problem.

    I must be careful about it and keep an eye on possible leaking fluid.

    I see the air control valve in picture. Lot's of work to replace it and certainely difficult to do.

    what is the major problem about first generation ?

  12. hi all

    it's the frenchy

    i observ that my lexus 1990 ls400 smoke in white a lot when i'm in stop.

    when i drive, there is nothing. I see it's when the first drive pass, the smoke disappear.

    When i wait at the road signal (red) i observ lot of smoke this night. At first i hope that it's the winter is here (10°C).

    Perhaps...

    Thanks a lot.

    I will change my air filter soon. Have you the serial number of the spare?

    thanks all

  13. It is your pump the system naturally will get rid of air all by itself, it may have a plugged screen on the solenoid though as the high pressure pushing through a blockage would make noise. The new fluid they added with the line would have broken down some of the dirt but it jsut clogged up again.

    Only air in the system !!

    i have this last week, it's over now, so, lexus dealer say it's the pump...

    Only air in the system, see my question in the forum.

    regards

  14. hi, the ls 400 of a friend in france have a problem with his panel.

    when the temp is 25 or 30° centigrade the car start and the panel is lightning correctly.

    but if the temp is down 25 or 30°, the car start but the panel doesn't light !

    Lexus dealer in france change neon's light and the condenser on the modul, but the panel is out. Something it flash.

    i search in the forum but there is no good answer to this problem.

    thanks to tell me.
