My Car Makes Me Angry!


Recommended Posts

It's me again... My car hates me or what? Problems are getting bigger! Lack of power when she warms up, throttle vibration when i floor it untill it gets to normal temperature, now it looks like the engine sometimes even twitches when i get to 4500 rpm. It should jump forward, but it looses power or twitches like something is stuck in the system. That also happens in lower revs.

Also :) after some harder driving engine don't want to start. Engine starts and shut down after a second like there is no fuel or doesn't start. My car is manual with pre-cats taken out.

:whistling: i know You will suggest me to sell this car, but i don't want to, really :) In the morning i go with smile to my car, but when i get to work, my smile is left far far away...

Oh..also when power loss is felt my exhaust sound also changes to very low sporty sound!!!

Any help?

Yes, and they did that a few times...and guess what? Everything is fine! How can it be fine that there are so many problems? My pal engine specialist said that that lack of power is really not normal, it is scary. Please, give me any direction what to look for :(

Spark plugs were checked, they are ok (lexus said so).

About fuel filter...i thought about that, asked lexus to changed it and they kinda refused to do that. they said that toyota fuel filter don't choke or smth. Besides they never changed it in their history.

The manager drove it and said it is normal, he felt something but they didn't find the reason! I asked about power loss so he said:"IS should be driven hard (yes,so?) and it gets fast after 3000rpm. He said it is normal (he is driving GS300 or 430) soi don't know if he said truth. Felt some vibrations, but comparing to his old IS200 my car is "fantastic". Don't know though..

The funny thing is that i drove ~100 miles with half fuel tank. No lights are flashing on the clock

petejenkin>>there is some sand in left side of filter box, right one is quite clean. Filter is also no to dirty.

What is a coil pack? Is it the thing thatis on the spark plugs?

And i remember one thing: as i remember i asked lexus to check the sparks, they said it is ok. After ~3 months i asked my friend to check them. AND one spark plug that lexus checked was loose. How do you like that? Don't know if twitching began before lexus checked sparks...

...throttle vibration when i floor it untill it gets to normal temperature,

Erm, concerned that no one has mentioned the hard driving of a car that's not up to temperature!!!!

Mine doesn't get taken above silly revs until up to temp.....

With all the trouble you have had with your car you must have the patience of a saint!! :innocent:

Are Lexus very rare in Lithuania? Honestly I know you don't want to but if I were you I would have got rid of the car by now and got another one. (But thats me! :devil:) Wish I could advise, but sometimes I think you have to cut your losses and just get rid.!! :duh:

ColinBarber>>i didn't, there aren't much IS200 in my town, and lexus has only AUTO. But i can tell 100% that it is something wrong:/ because lack of power appears after some driving and in no other car that i drove that ever happened. If it would be normal, believe me i wouldn't buy it in first place. But i did and i was very very happy with it, till now...

Thanks

My car does exactly the same as yours Apsaauga !!

Have had the car looked at and also hooked up to the Daignostics, everything seems fine, but the loss of power is there, very noticable!

You can't even feel the VVTi Kick, or just the normal power kick.

I still have my pre-cats though, hopefully will get it looked at pretty soon, if you find the problem let us know, will do vice-versa..

Yes, Imi, it is the same thing! I trully hope that You will sort it out, because i don't know what to look for:( From my experience pre-cats were not the fault. They were a little dirty, but not choked.

At last someone knows what i am experiencing :blush:
