Engine Cutting Out When Warm, Won't Start

Dave_R · November 18, 2012

I have an auto IS200 (2000) that cuts out after a few miles of driving. A short while ago if you stopped the car in the morning and then restarted within a few minutes the engine light would come on with the TRC flashing. There were no apparent issues and later in the day this would disappear. I recently had to replace a number of coil packs as it started to misfire but since then the car has started to cut out. When it cuts out the engine will start but immediately the rpm will drop until the engine cuts.

One of the codes reported seems to point to the input turbine sensor which I believe is simply the input speed sensor, others seem to have the same symptoms and this seems to be the culprit. Does anyone have any thoughts? anyone got one of these sensors that I can get in a hurry?

My lexus is200 has a random missfire . Its ok if i get in to it in the morning and just drive its fine but if I turn it off after 10 miles or even 100miles it will startup missfiring unless its left for an hour .very strange
