i love my new lexus (bought just few monts ago)
its 2000 it got 143,800 (bought with 143,00) so i drove it for less than 1000 miles
first i had transmission problem for past few weeks
today engine starts working uneven (its shakes very bad) when in gear RPM going very low its almost sounds like its gona die
check engine flashed for few seconds
what can be a problem? spark plugs? injectors? or something alse?
please help me i dont wana change the car (i love it even with these problems)

 

its probably a coil (my mechanic removed 2 coils to check it the spark plugs were changed, in first coil he couldnt remove sleave, so he put it back and removed other)

i removed that coil that have sleave inside and started a car and it had no diffrence on engine (same shaking) but for now i have check engine and vsc lights on all the time

 

Get the code read and fix as necessary. Sounds like a coil pack and or spark plug.

All other maintence has been done like timing belt and fluid changes, etc?

 

can i drive it to a mechanic like that with check engine and vsc lights on or it will die on me? i dont wana stuck somwhere on higway

timing belt was done at 94,000 by a lexus dealer
2 weeks ago i did change engine, transmission and rear dif oil

 

How far a drive to the dealer?
In the current running condition a flatbed would be good. Don't take the risk on the road.

Good that your fluid change is fresh. I just hate hearing about tranny or other fluid related problems.

 

no one can really help you until you get the codes read, just wild guesses.... of what it could be... and you dont want to buy parts until you know they are bad...

 

i just went a stard disconecting coil after coil to see if it make any diffrence
i would say that the first coil from driver side (close to oil cap) made no diffrence on engine after disconecting
but after running engine for few minutes i start to hear metalic noise somwhere on top of the engine (sounds kinda like a valves)
dealer is about 20-30 miles away i would try to drive it if it wasnt for that metalic noise

day before it happens i drive it very hard on higway for about 15 minuts ( could that be the couse of my problem)
wasnt burning tires just very fast drive on higway (RPM where to the red line very often)
in the morning after that car had only slight shake when i stoped on red lights and after few hours on parking i almost couldnt make home because of that shaking

 

autozone will read your codes FREE.

 

thanks a lot guys
tommorow morning i will try to drive to mechanic (found one close,and he said that will scan codes)

but why do i have that metalic noise (kinda valve but not sure)

 

it was a coil on cylinder #1 (coil sleave was in 2 pieces broken about an inch from the end)
