ssls400

no the oil is crystal clear as the same for the transmission fluid and the oil cap is clear and the engine doesnt over heat or fluctutate.

i have noticed a bit of a puddle of water underneath the engine.from what i can see it seems to be leaking near the sheild plate of the flywheel gearbox which is in the centre.i have to fill my car up twice a day.i cant see any pipes loose or cracked and it was fine last week then just started.any ideas please need help fast as the buyer is coming to collect the car soon end of this week thanks

hi,yes the heater gets very hot in about 4 or 5 mins something like that

hi thanks for the fantastic info,i recently put in a brand new thermostat about 3 or 4 weeks ago.i bled it by letting the engine get hot and released the nut on top of the thermostat housing.please can you give me info on the correct procedre for bleeding as i dont have the sticker inside the engine bay thanks, may also take you up on the offer over the timing belp and water pump later on this year.

i have checked all the carpets and they are dry, i have rev'd the engine up and there is no smoking at all of any sorts.

have a 92 ls400 and lately i am loosing coolant for the past 2 weeks,i have checked the oil its fine no mayonaise colour in oil filler cap,cant see any hairline cracks on the expansion tank,the sensor is fine and shows no signs of wear,the coolant pipes are all on properly again cant see any splits,there is no puddle under the engine,i can fill the water up to the correct level on the expansion tank and drive as normal by the time tomorrow comes and i check it again i have lost a fair bit of coolant when the engine is hot i check for leaks and underneath, there is nothing to see, so where is the water going?everything was fine a couple weeks ago never had to fill the expansion up.then this starts.please can someone help!!!!!

hi, check that the by-pass clear,thats the coolant by-pass,and if it is OK check your thermo-time switch, which mounts close to the temp sensor,disconect the plug 1 by 1, find out which is which and then test the switch with a ohrms meter temp=20 resistance-ohms2000-3000 =40 ; ; 800-1200 60 500-650 80 ; ; 300-400 , if u don't get the same reading then replace the switch B) also chech your air pipes,pull .apart 1 by 1 and check for cracks and leaks. hi i dont have a ohms tester.please can you explain to me over the thermo time switch as i am not clued up in that.do you think i have a faulty sensor switch? thanks

already put a brand new thermostat in

hi paul my car starts up from cold at approx 1400 revs then if i am stationery when the temp gets to about a quater of it ways the revs start to drop.now id i was driving and again from cold even when it gets to the same temp the revs dont srop unless say i am at a junction or lights long enough which is about 30 seconds which seems like forever when you are in traffic the revs drop down to normal idle which is about 600.before the revs drop down to normal the car does literally drive on its own only cause the revs are at about 1000 to 1200 revs before normal idle.but on my dads its not like that his is a 1995 and after about 5 or 10 mins of driving again from cold it revs at 1200 to 1400 and when the temp gets to quater and you stop at lights the revs have already dropped.another thing is if i leave my car for about 30 mins from hot it revs about 1000 to 1100 then it drops to normal idle but my dads doesnt even after a hour you start it up from hot and staright away it revs normal idle which is 600.any ideas?? by the way my ls400 is a 1992

can no one at all give me some insight to this please!!!!!!!!

hi i have a 1992 ls400 i know that when the engine is cold it revs approx 1200 to 1600, but when it gets to a quater of the temp on the display on the dashboard the revs dont drop unles i come to a complete stop and then i see the revs dropping to 600 revs then everything is ok.my dad has a 1995 ls400 and his revs about the same but the difference is he doesnt have to come to a complete stop for the revs to drop to normal idling it sort of done automatically when he is driveing the car.i have cleaned the throttle body and looks like new again and i have cleaned the air control valve and the tps.please can someone tell me is this normal or does something else need cleaning.my car drives superb but its the revs that bother me as it revs a little high even when hot and i have to stop the car to get the revs to idle normal can anyone help thanks

yep a bargain mate,my 92 ls400 headlights i can adjust the level of the headlights by the switch on dashboard near to the drivers door.and the best of all the 6000k HID kit is legal

installed HID lights on my 92 ls400,WOW what a difference,really looks sleek and modern now and most importantly safer.i went for the 6000k diamond white HID kit.getting the parts at first looked a bit dauanting,but luckily have experience in electrics etc....i recommend anyone who is considering changing their buld whether they have blown or dont like the look of the yellow light they give.get yourself a HID kit there are loads on ebat and i manage to get one for £35.best kit i ever bought

mine is a 1992 and it doesnt have a electronic odometer,

here is the link guys http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BREAKING-1991-LEXUS-...1QQcmdZViewItem

there is a really good dashboard cluster at the moment on ebaY item number 180228984816 , has pics and there is no blinking or burnt out needles.it is off a 1991 lexus ls400.and there is some really cool pics of some of the parts available check it out guys.!!!!

hi steve,i changes the tps of another lexus, not sure yet if it has helped but will test drive it first to see how it goes.the car was absolte spot on at one point then this silly thing started trying to put my finger on what it is.like you say it sounds like the tps.i did notice the screws that hold the tps was ever so slightly loose.could that contribute to it?when it touches at 600 revs at idle the car so of vibrates a bit but increase a little it stops say about 610rpm but thats only when i press the gas pedal. any tipes on what i can do from here thanks simon

I meant the Engine Splutters During Acceleration not in jerking, its always around the 40mph or 45 mph speed or faster can you help?????????????

last week i did a dianogstic on my 1992 ls400 as the car was sort of jolting as if you are driving about 40mph+ and you press the brakes and the revs drop down a bit then you press the gas pedal that is the best way to describe it.even worse on cruise control as it runs even terrible.i got codes 67 & 68. i have fixed the OD direct clutch switch speed sensor and the kickdown switch.i took the efi fuse out for more than 10 secs and then took it for a drive today it is still doing it so did another diagnostic and the OD light is blinking very fast all the time so i presume the problem there is fixed but now the ecu light has come up giving me code 21 which is the left bank main oxygen sensor.could this be the cause of the god awful run.i am getting to the point where i am getting peed off with this now.please please can someone help me.its more of a splutter when you reach speed of about 40 or 45 mph+ thanks
