Mine did that when coil pack was changed, re-set your ecu to see if this stops it :D

[MrADeveci]

What was the last modification you made ?

This usually happens when one of the sensors get an error code ............. get the code read using a reader.

Im a newbie, only had the car for 3 weeks now though i haven't been driving to work its been parked up for 5 days and only just drove it today to find this problem...it was fine before ?

Havent done any mods yet, it standard

[MrADeveci]

Hmm .... get the codes read by a dealer, or a garage.

Reset the ecu too ......... but if you do this, you will lose the error code !

did notice that when turning off the car and turning it back on the Battery seemed quite low but it still started though?

is there anything i can clean, sensors maybe i have an is200

[MrADeveci]

Try cleaning the Air sensor ............ but even after you clean that, you need to reset the ECU to notice the effect .......... or have the error codes wiped, before those lights will stop flashing !

[sjf]

ok, will do..when i drove the car it also felt like it was missing slightly?

thanks for the help guys

where's the air sensor located?

[MrADeveci]

Missing ? .......... the chances are the car has gone into 'limp' mode ........ that's because there is the error code stored, not a major problem .............. you will find that if you reset the ECU it should come back out of 'limp' mode.

ok, but then again doing this might not fix the problem of why the light came on in the first place? or will it stop the flashing engine light and trc

might have to bite the bullet and give it to lexus..there goes my wallet :(

thanks for the help mate

[MrADeveci]

Just ask your local Lexus dealer to read the code ........... they shouldn't charge you for that.

They will be able to tell you what the problem is ............ then it's up to you what you want to do with it .................

[sjf]

thanks for your help mate...you have been really helpful

will post what my problem is, once i find out what it is

cheers

As said, if your car is missing could be one of the coil packs, did this on my car, as scarface has said go to lexus to findout what code is putting your light on :D if its one of your coil packs, dont get one from lexus, as a few members have some for sale im sure :D

[ColinBarber]

Don't reset the ECU, you won't find out the problem. If the lights goes out after 3 cycles of running the engine then the fault is no longer there but the ECU will still keep the error code. If the light doesn't go away then the fault is still there.

I got exactly the same problem on my engine today! My engine is running very bad.The whole car is trembling like a leaf.I dont know what to do? Should i really drive my car to the Lexus dealer? It sounds like an old fishing boat when i start my engine and there is no power at all when I hit the accelerator (the car moves like it had 50 hp).

Please. Give me some advice

Edit: My car is 100% original and has a full serivce history

IT seems you have the same symptons as i had mate...i think its best to get Lexus to at least check it out on the computer as this will tell them what the fault is...that way you will now what the problem is and then the choice is up to you to get it done by Lexus or someone else..:)

definately sounds like one of the coil packs though

Toyota (in a small town) here in Sweden wants about £ 130 to fix it. A "real" Lexus dealer wants much more.Im getting my car back tomorrow. :)

Just to let everyone know...i got my car back today..the final price was 275 including Vat at Lexus Croydon :)

They changed the coil pack and replaced the spark plug.

But they also mentioned that either my water pump or steering pump is making a slight noise but said they would need to look into it...:(

Had same problem. Error was "Absolute Map Pressure". Acc to Lexus is not a problem to drive the car since all errors make the car use default values. However the engine stalls at contant RPM every now and then and also the blinking lights are annoying!Problem is fixed temporarily when when I switch the engine off for 15-20 minutes and then restart the engine and will re-appear after between 2 hours and 2 weeks.
