Hi there. Scroll down under your thread to "All LS400 owners w/bad gas mileage read this". That should answer all your questions. God Bless, Good luck, Peace n Rock n Roll on in Lexus!

Default Coolant Temp. Sensor

Poor gas mileage could be caused by lots of things. Changing the Coolant Temp. Sensor is one of the least expensive ways to start. I just changed mine, will see what it did for me. Next on the list, will probably be O2 sensors.

I have a first gen just like you, I changed my engine coolant temperature sensor using the duralast part instead of OEM. I used to get just shy of 300 miles to a tank. After the change it brought me to about 320-340. 40 miles a tank for 20 bucks? deal.

I agree 100% with you on that but why did you post that in this thread?
