I highly think its your motor mounts. Mine does the exact same thing. New transmission mount helped some, but its still there. Sometimes even the outside mirror will "buzz" because of the vibration. <_<

0, thought that. Just started a month ago.

hello everyone---

I seem to be feeling a slight vibration occasionally in my steering wheel (even at idle, stop) and in my accelerator....I have had my alternator and battery checked and they seem to be fine....however my PS fluid is leaking (again)...I had the system cleaned last summer...could it be the little air valve?

motor mount?

thank goodness...i thot is was another part i had to worry about fixing!!! ha ha

hmmmm what is a heather fan?

yeah, I am afraid to buy one without seeing it and driving it.

Alot has had to be replaced on mine too.

But it always starts! ha ha

thanks mr A...I'll try that.

a 1995 for $2900...that sounds great. Wish I were closer.

I have been looking all over New Mexico and can't find another LS the years I want, 95-99 for what I want to pay. No one wants to give them up!!...or they are too much of a (mess) to buy.

Anyone have one...or know where to look. The Lexus dealer just laughs at me when I ask them if they ever get any into the showroom.....ha ha....

check out craigslist.org

yes, thanks...i have beenl ooking there...they are just hard to find.

come to Dallas and take your pick.... we have a lot of them

Hey- that is what I might have to do!

I have been spinning all over the road! I don't have the traction option, but my tires are new, and don't seem to help. They are snow tires. I think I have forgotten how to drive on ice and snow!

I have loaded a couple sand bags in the trunk, too, but that doesn't even help.

Even without Trac Control, if you're riding snow tires, you should be able to feather the throttle enough to prevent spinning and sliding. I would make sure your front brakes aren't dragging. It doesn't take much to affect your traction in the snow.

I think he implied that he does not have snow tires.

I don't know, she did say "They are snow tires." So maybe I'm just not understanding her correctly.

Yes, they are snow tires...brand new ones. Not seeming to help.

You know, I don't remember spinning around this much last year, with the sand bags in the trunk, and I drove all winter...I will check out my brakes, blacktop...thanks.

nice headlite feature...what is it?

and welcome....everyone has been so nice to me here. great group and lots of good advice!

killer- yeah....I noticed that! my wheels spun on ice w/o it on.

thanks

wonder how jcrome is doing?

Turn it on? Why would you turn it off? The "overdrive" on the gen 1 LS400 is not an overdrive at all in the traditional sense ... it's just a 4th transmission gear with a ratio of less than 1.00.

Leave overdrive on all the time unless you need to force a lower gear for some reason. On slippery roads, just use a light foot on the gas pedal.

What used to be considered an overdrive was a completely separate two speed transmission -- usually electrically controlled -- tacked on behind a usually manual three or four speed transmission. The last car I had with an electric switch controlled overdrive was a 1978 Volvo 242 with a Laycock de Normanville overdrive made in England. Here is an explanation of overdrives: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overdrive_(mechanics)

0, thank you....1990

I had turned it off thinking I could get better gas mileage...but after reading Wiki...I gues I will get better gas mileage with it on> thanks !

Should I turn on my OD for the winter?

Is it better for slippery roads?

thanx!

Gorgeous!!!

Mine is the same color...beautiful blue.

Lucas also makes a great gas additive....I use it all the time, and always keep my tank FULL...

I have no problem (so far) with starts....or sputters

Anyone ever HEARD of a TB popping on one of these cars? I never have....

Yummy! A sportier Lexus...how wonderful can they get? I wonder what the price tag is on this baby....

Mine has always been a sports car , tho..... :)

Base- $73,700..... :o

thanks- i will pull that up 1990.

After taking a look----yikes!!!! I can't do that.!!

CB thanks- I can almost do that myself!

My antenna is only coming up about 6 in, when I turn on the radio....but continues to buzz for a while...is it stuck? Is this a fuse issue?

thanks!!!

Help.....please.....having a day from car owner hell.

.. the mechanic shop I was going to use has been in court lately for false diagnostic work...

You're not talking about this dude are you?

AHHHH......LEXUS!

LEAKS...LEAKS...LEAKS....

Thanks. What [1] does the switch do? [2] what does it look like? [3] where do I find it?

vaccuum switch- this side of Lexus moto on engine- might have to remove some plastic to see it.
