HI All Can someone please tell me what the rev's should be on an IS200 when started from cold. Mine sits at around 2500 until the engine reaches normal running temp. Is this normal Thanks

I just want to clean it as i noticed when i was changing the plugs and air filter that it has alot of build up on it.

Hi Lads, Can anyone point me in the right direction to a guide for cleaning the trottle body on an is 200 Cheers

Hi As per my other thread i have been having problems with my is200 since it sat in snow and freezing weather for a few days. Eventually got it to a garage yesterday and i have been told that its a problem with the coil pack. My question is seen as the engine would start for a second or two and then die would that be a sympton of just one faulty pack or am i looking at a bill for more that one I am well annoyed that i could not figure out this problem myself and if i could have got a ODB2 i could have fixed it myself... So my second question.....can anyone recommend a good but inexpensive ODB2. Thanks

Hi, The antifreez in the rad is fine and did not freeze. I checked it a few times to make sure it didnt freeze. I will replace the plugs tonight and see what happens if that does not sort it out i will have to call a tow truck

thanks, i removed the spark plugs today and will get new ones tomorrow. 4 out of the 6 were covered in soot and looked in bad shape. Would bad plugs causes this problem ???? can spark plugs be good enough to start the car for a few seconds but not good enough to keep it running

i checked the fuses ant they are all fine. I am going to change the spart plugs tomorrow and see if that helps any. If there is anyting else i should try before i call a tow truck please let me know

Thanks. If it is that would it dry out itself or would it need to be replaced

Hi All. I hope you can help sort my problem out. My is200 has been sitting in the snow for the last week and a half it started fine after 3 days and i let it run for about 1o minutes. I went to start it yesterday and it started straight away then died i tried it a few nmoer time and the same thing happened. I tried pressing the accelaration but it makes no differance. I will chug for a bout 3 second reach about 1000 rpm then die and let of a slight backfire.If i pump the accelarator before starting it will get to 2000 rpms and die There is no chance of getting it to a garage as the area i live in is still covered in snow and ice. Any help please

Hi all Really stupid sounding question.............do all IS200 have alarms fitted....are they audible alarms or just lights flashing... If so what is the best way to test it. Been a few cars stolen in my area over the last few weeks and i just wan to make sure my security is. Again sorry for the silly question
