would you have stalled if you were in first gear on this slight hill?

That my friend is the question,I've only stalled once and that was when I first got the car and the VSC light didnt come on...Well I'm at the service department now and you would never believe what happen.I'm coming from work heading to the service department I get out ask the gentlemen if someone can look at it to tell me whats wrong,he gets in the car and the VSC light is no longer on...Go figure.I told him he had the magic touch,I said I still wanted someone to check it out to see if there is anything wrong.....I'll report back in a little while...By the way my service department is nice,they have food,drinks and free internet access.WOW,does anyone else have a service department like this?

Going to take a stab in the dark and say it might be related to this, but I'm not sure:

TSBI EG007-06 - ECU Reprogramming

Cheers,

i hope your warning light was a fluke and nothing bad happened. some people reported this as a misfire. maybe for you, this one time occurance was a misfire. hopefully it won't happen again.

Longo Lexus here in SoCal has a really nice installation bay/service department. refreshments, snacks, computers, are all complimentary. they also have the nicest shop i have seen. there is a wall of glass that lets the customers see what is going on in their garage. you can literally see the mechanics work on your car.

I know mine has food, drinks, and phones to use. Not sure about internet, I didn't look that hard for the short time I was there.

Well I got my car yesterday from the delear and he said there was no problem.The reason my VSC light came on was b/c I stalled,the engine was thinking "I should be moving"I was in second and I think I didnt take my foot off of the clutch in time.But I remember hitting the clutch..Oh well I'm glad I have my car back.I hate driving those loaner b/c everyone and there father has been in it.Oh the Loaner was an 06 IS 250(auto of course).I tried the pedal shifter and although I like the feel I cant help but to think of the lag when shifting.I guess I cant compare it to my 6speed manual transmission.This IS also had the ventilated seats which I loved so much,i'm mad at myself for not getting that.This IS didnt have Mark Levinson(another of Course)So I was really feenin for my ML. All in all I love the New IS no matter if its a 6pseed or not....
