hey guys ok well

the problem:

the car is a is200 sports 1999 automatic 170,000km(105,000miles i think)

the car has this problem idles at 3000rpm

i checked over everything for an air leak of some sort an nothing,

i drove the car around for 3days in this condition then i thought possibly its the throttle body so i pulled it apart an cleaned it an put it back on,

drove it back home from work where i did the cleaning, the next day i was driving it an the trc off light apeared an started flashing an the engine light apeared constant an i have no power till my foot is flat to the floor ( like it is in limp mode) i stopped on the side of the road turned it off for 15mins then started it an all good, then later in the afternoon same problem returned an hasnt gone away since,

checked for codes an had only a throttle code cleared it as i thought it was from when i removed it, started the car an still same issue, tested again if code had relogged an NO CODES!! wtf

need help urgent!!

Hi guys,

I have the exact same problem recently, with my IS200 6 speed manual.

173,000kms

Car randomly hesitates, still drivable - at one point it pretty much had next to no power - Engine light stays on traction control light blinks.

Lexus dealer wants to change the whole throttle assembly (i'm guessing this includes sensors) - they want a few K to get it rectified - which is way too steep considering the price of a whole 1g-fe engine.

Do you guy believe it's just a couple of sensors to change and all good?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
