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!!

Ok well wat I did was reset ecu then disconnected tps car still idled at 3k lol throttle butterfly operates as normal an fully closes an opens no leaks anywere I checkd EVERYTHING wat next u rekon jus try a new tps or mab swap the one from the cruise control piece as they are same part numbers

na man not floor mats lol definite problem under the bonnet, i can get 2nd hand throttle body complete with sensors tps an he lot for $225 but its a bit of money wasted if it doesnt fix the problem. but then what else could it be ??

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?

yep sold a few of these. i work for toyota/ lexus

aaaaaaaaand there's your hookup.

funky's post applies here pm the guy... answer was on the lexus forum. not here

    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
