Most of you will say I've been lucky and some might say, "what do you expect". All I can say is I'm a frugal, careful, auto owner and I don't like to waste money... All that being said, here's the problem.
1993 SC400, 121,000 miles, never had a tune up. I got the regular oil changes and new tires, etc, the usual stuff and it ran perfectly all these year... my hat is off to Lexus... excellent car. ;)
Today I got in my car, turned the key and immediately noticed a shudder... <_< the engine didn't sound right; it had a roughness to it. I drove it and was reminded of the days of the big cam, big carb, cars in the 60's, it had that lumb-lumb-lumb sound and feel (I'm not a mechanic) anyway, certainly not the way a Lexus sounds. It doesn't die or bog down, it runs fair but rough. :(
After you guys are done laughing at me , Can ya give me some pointers? No I don't want to take it to a dealer ... unless I have to.
Thanks,
Joe
