gs 400 spends a lot of gas , help
Hello, I have a Lexus gs 400 2000,93k my car spends a lot of gasoline, only 10 Miles in the city, I have no light on in the panel, I think changing the spark plugs and clean the throttle body. Do you recommend? help

Change plugs first then clean MAF look at condition of plugs (all) before and then put some miles on her and check at least 1 plug to see how she's running I would think you should get 17 MPG.
Any codes?

What is your tire pressure set at? Also last time you changed your engine air filter?

How long had this problem for? And how long have u had the car for? Check to see if your check eng light actually comes on when u turn the key.
Hook up a scantool to it sometimes the light wont come on but it will have stored codes..

If the light does work & no codes found...
Do a "full tune-up"

1-air filter
2-clean throttle body
3-replace spark plugs
4-change oil and add "engine-restore" (sold at auto zone)
5-change fuel filter
6-change pcv valve
7-clean maf sensor
8-clean fuel injectors................................
