Is220d Engine Problems

caspian sky · July 29, 2007

I went out to my car which had been kept in the garage overnight as usual but it wouldn't start. When i pushed the start/stop, it started but immediately died. I tried this a few times but had no luck. I called my lexus dealer and was told to call the RAC who would take the car to them. I tried the car again but still did not start right so i gave it throttle and revved the car for about 20 seconds and then it managed to idle itself as normal. Stopped the car and tried again and worked flawlessly-so cancelled RAC who were going to take up to 2 and a half hours . Next day, Same happens. The next day it starts but not very healthily as it does the day after that and fails to start once again. This was not due to lackof use as it had a long run the day before and also after the first time it happened. It's booked in for tommorrow though as it is getting the handbrake adjusted again(new caliper or something) also the rear bumper wasn't put back on correctly after fitting parking sensors and that's getting fixed to. It's getting picked up BTW and a courtesy car left(another IS) :D

UPDATE

Car was returned today and of course, it started ok with them but they did reprogram the ECU. Just have to see if this sorts out the problem. Anyone else had the same problem??
