Hi my name is Kevin Wright and I am an owner of a 93' model. I am hearing a rattling noise under the carf , and it sounds like my catalytic converters. I've taken it to three muffler shops and they said the EGR valve has a crack in it. "Is it worth paying $477.32 for a new valve and gasket?"

Hi guys,

My car has a slight (very slight) vibration at around 1200 to 1400 rpm (93LS with 113K). Lexus said it was most likely a crack in the EGR pipe (the tech did a TLC inspection). My question is, where can I get this pipe online guys? Lexus wanted 1200.00 total for the pipe, I said no thanks. Is it really complicated to change, or is lexus just price gauging!?

Another thing I wanted some info on... The car is super smooth and a joy to drive.. only thing I've noticed that is a bit different from other cars is as follows: when I'm at a dead stop, and I floor the gas pedal all the way down, it doesn't accelerate violently like most cars do.... there is a slight delay, and starts to accelerate moderately then a second later when it's doing say 20 or 30 mph.. the storm really comes on, and doesn't let up. I tied all settings possible.. ECT off, OD off.. nothing.. no Ooomph!! off the line. Is this just the way the cars are because they are luxury vehicles?

And thanks in advance about info on the EGR pipe (and will I need gaskets or anything else?)

egr pipe can be found in austin texas at the lexus dealer for 477.32 i have the same problem with the same year car and i am about to get it fixed

93LS 400 with 93k..

First I took her to the LEXUS dealer.. They stated everything was very good!

I purchased car for 6900 bucks and the 100 mile drive home at 1AM was so worth every penny! Except for the fact I did not have plates and a state trooper followed me for a bit.. I guess he agreed with the lost tag sign in my back window, but I was sweating bullets!!

Reguardless after 100 miles every thing that is stated on this web site is true!! The car is amazing in every aspect.. The smooth ride, shifting, nac... radio, bright attractive dash lights, awesome rims and wonderful shape of car. The pick up and speed is also a plus since my wife was trying to follow in our 91 Ford Taurus. Classic.. Looked I was the rich kid with the hot chick in McDonalds!!

After getting home I went through the records. This guy treated this thing like his 4th child. Power steering pump, everything in the rear, tune up, all 5000 mile check ups and new breaks & rotors on car.. Awesome!!!

I will have pictures, but I need some sleep!!

A few questions.. By the automatic shifter there is a two way button with econ and perf... I figure to do with gas?

Secondly my cd changer reads error.. For the most part owners admited there was a problem.. Reccomend buy new generic or used LEXUS cd changer?

Well the wife is yapping since its 2AM and I writing in her words "a love letter!"
