  1. Parts aren't that bad price wise and mechanic normally just tells me how to change them or what to do so labour costing nothing all in all its ok... Once I get it going properly I'll be happy Sent from my iPhone using Lexus OC
  2. Update, had a chat with a toyota mechanic again and he has told me to change out temp sensor and cam position sensor see if it makes any difference also to check my air intake manifold for leaks... Ordered new sensors waiting for them to come and will check the intake over next few days... Just gotta keep changing til I find the problem... Sent from my iPhone using Lexus OC
  3. Well my problem is happening and no engine light is on... I've changed a list of parts drove car last nite taught my look had changed it drove perfect even when it was hot but after stopping for 5 mins I go driving again and it's back to shuttering a bit and sluggish so I give up I say I'm gonna try sell if not I'm gonna park it up and eventually put in a different engine Sent from my iPhone using Lexus OC
  4. Yesterday I changed the vvt solenoid cleaned the little filter with it and changed map sensor and cleaned throttle body, now car idles high but I'm told that's common after cleaning throttle body and will go away eventually, took car for a drive seemed completely new loads more power but still some slight jerking at 4000rpm :/ so still not 100% Sent from my iPhone using Lexus OC
  5. How can I check fuel pressure?? And am milage is big enough alrite 166000 miles Sent from my iPhone using Lexus OC
  6. But if map sensor was gone it should do it hot or cold no? Is there anything else that could be causing it to do this... Lately it's once it gets warm after been drove for awhile it will start to lose the power be sluggish going up in revs nd at 3500rpm start to fight with you and shutter and refuse to rev or sometimes goes up a bit only like as if cars under pressure...

  7. Ya scanned it said to lean bank 1 and 2 after the service reset it and no light on since Sent from my iPhone using Lexus OC
  8. My is200 is causing me trouble for awhile now, the car gets to 3500 revs slowly with power loss and then it kinda shutters, car is idling fine hot and cold will drive ok cold but once hot this happens, I've changed full exhaust, spark plugs, oil, oil filter, air filter, pollen filter, fuel filter, lambda sensors, did a compression test all between 165 to 170psi and still no change! So now I'm between burning it out and cutting my losses or riding it off my head is wrecked ha... Anyone got any other solutions to try change? Sent from my iPhone using Lexus OC
  9. Changed air filter and all that yesterday used genuine spark plugs from main dealer... Sent from my iPhone using Lexus OC
  10. Also forgot to mention now that I have service the car it threw on engine light after driving it for awhile saying engine running to lean bank 1 and bank 2... Sent from my iPhone using Lexus OC
  11. Did a full service on the car today and while the plugs were out I done a compression test all were similarly just above 170... After service car still drives the same... Lacking power and shuttering from 4000 revs upwards was wondering if the vvt solenoid was faulty or filter was blocked would it cause my problem? Sent from my iPhone using Lexus OC
  12. Changed full exhaust with a second hand one and still have same problem... So next I'm gonna check as you said the compression and the spark plugs and see if this sorts it out Sent from my iPhone using Lexus OC
  13. Hi I'm curious about decatting my is200 I'm not doing it for power as I no it won't make a difference but my cats are broke down well one is so I'm curious about if I go ahead and do this will the engine light come on and how can this be prevented and will it fail nct if I just take out the top 2 cats and leave the 3rd cat?? Any help would be great thanks Sent from my iPhone using Lexus OC
  14. Yes car went to main dealer today for a full going over and they say it's the catalytic converters need replacing there broke down Sent from my iPhone using Lexus OC
  15. No smoke and car idles perfect and wen parked will Rev up fine but once I'm driving it won't Rev up, even if I tried to throw the car out we'll say drift it, the car just Boggs down oil level is perfect not burning a bit, I'm drove mad trying fix it Sent from my iPhone using Lexus OC
