  1. 2001 LX 470. When at freeway speed , coasting and I apply the gas as when passing it hezitates and seems to loose power. Doesn't feel like a slipping transmission but rather like a plugged jet would on a carburated system. Would a clogged jet do that? I would think not.... I have a code reader and it shows no DTS stored.....So whatever it is it is not causing an error code - yet !
  2. Hate to even ask such an obvious question, but did you have the alignment checked? These cars are very sensitine to the slightest misalignment.
  3. Just an update. It turns out the dealer tried to rip me off bigtime. Bought the harness for $39 and installed it myself in a matter of 2 hours work , without having prior experience at it ! a far cry from the 10 hours claimed by the dealer. From now on Newport Lexus in Newport Beach CA and their 2nd store in Irvine will get no business from me! Or any one else I can tell the story to! Saved over $1000 !!!!!!!
  4. Can anyone suggest a good source for a Service Manual for a 01 LX470 ? The dealers I have talked to appear reluctant to even discuss it. It's driving me crazy, no one seems to have even a part number!
  5. I was at my Big Bear house this weekend and on the way back my engine light came on although everything seemed just fine... Took into dealer today, they said Knock sensors 1&2 and that they would have to trace..... I insisted on more details... They pulled the plastic engine cover and showed me with a flashlight that there was a cooked rat or squirrel (chipmunk) lying on the engine under the intake manifold. Please, no laughing!! :( The estimate was 10.5 houts at 125$/hr =1250$ to take off manifold and find eaten wires :o :o Figure the job doesn't look that hard but will need some help.... First, what to watch out for when taking off manifold? Second, if I find the damager wire and repair, will the engine light reset itself or do I somehow need to reset the error code - if so how? Third, If all above is done, what to watch out for in reinstallation ? And for that matter any other advise would be very appreciated!!! :D
