Couple More Things

[bigboy24]

hi there couple of things ever now and again the lexus turns over but wont fire straight away normaly on cold ish/damp mornings i was thinking coil packs / plugs the other issue is do your head lights get brighter then dim when you stop if that makes sense so you start to drive goes bright then stop and they go dim same with the fans when driving they blow strong but dip when you stop still so when you just idle is this normal?

hi i think you will find all the is 200 have trouble from time to time starting i know mine does check your volt meter when you are driving it should be about 14 volts but if you have the lights on and the fan running at the same time when ticking over the volts will be 12 as the engine revs rises the volts will rise to 14 so lights will get brighter and the fan speed will rise but if the volts go over 14 to 15 then your alternator is over charging hope this helps a little

It could be your Battery losing its charge i had probs starting a few months back one day it would start fine then the next struggled to start .

Might be worth going to your local garage and get them check your Battery, since i changed mine it has started every time!

Err,

I remember a number of threads on this, and someone mentioned as a last resort (or not maybe) that there was a service bulletin EG2004, which is a starting reflash, and to check this had been done.......don't ask me any more though cos that's all I know.

Am I talking rubbish anyone ? (be gentle!)
