Hey im new to club lexus, i joined after i got a ls 5 days ago. Im having stalling issues, two days ago i stoped at a red light once it turned green the car would not accelerate, after turning vechicle off and on again it ran fine, todai it almost felt like it stalled after trying to accelerate after a stop, i had to press hard on the gas. Ive also noticed both this times nd sometimes when i brake the engine light and trac come on, and i notice a lack of power coming from a v8. Im wondering if anyone could help me out with this.

 

Welcome to Club Lexus.

Two areas to check into. The trunk lid wiring harness is often a problem that causes many electrical issues. Check there first, you'll find some broken/frayed wires to fix.

The next is the capacitors in the ECU.

hey thanks i looked in it for both how much should these cost from a mechanic is it labour intensive??

 

does anyone know??

 

the trunk hinge wiring repair should cost less than $100, the ECU capacitor replacement should cost $200-$300, depending on whether you remove the glovebox or the mechanic does. - keep in mind that most mechanics are not qualified to do the ECU repair, it needs to be sent to a specialist or else done yourself if you are a good solderer.
