My current issues. Erratic running.
Car
1993 ls400
130k Miles
Issues
So I recently picked up this ls400. And drove fine for a little over a week. One day leaving the parking garage at work I was merging into traffic so I had to get on it a little bit. When I did the CEL and TRAC light both came on and it was almost like the car was in LIMP mode. When I let off the throttle they both went away and the car drove fine as long as I was light on the throttle. And when I got to freeway speeds (60+) and I got on it hard, NO ISSUES at all. But then when I got off the freeway o figured huh? Maybe it's gone. And went to check. Sure enough it happened again.
Car sat over night. Drove flawless no issues when getting up to speed faster. And now I randomly have it happen when I come to a stop sometimes the engine is like GLUB GLUB GLUB GLUB like a bigass cammed v8. And runs like ***, but if I turn the key off and then back on it idles fine and drives fine again.
Sorry if this seems like a re visited subject I have searched and searched and have seen similar things but not the same.

If it works let me know, some call it the ghost buster (or maybe that's just me.) I never had to do anything regarding this but it seems to have helped some people.
