Okay, yesterday I noticed my LX450 wasn't picking up and pushing like it usually was, it just felt weird. Today, I started noticing that the RPM are much higher then they usually are for the amount of gas and speed I was pushing. Also, they would fluxtuate each time I stopped and sped up again. When I hit turned of my Overdrive to test it did nothing, usually the RPM would go conciderably up when the Overdrive was off, this time it did nothing! I got the car back like a month ago from the dealer because gas wasn't getting through and it was backfiring and hopping and stuff! They said it was just routine maintnence that needed to be performed and they slapped with a huge bill. This is almost seeming like the same problem, I'm afraid it's gonna stall out on a 55MPH intersection like last time at rush hour with my 2 sisters in it!

Anybody have any input or insight as to what's going on? If I push the gas really hard it goes back to almost normal after I let go, like it needed to switch gears or somthing?!

Default Well...

there is a kind of clicking sound coming from the engine that I noticed when i stepped outside the car while it was running today, it was a new sound I think.


Damn it!! My dad is gonna kill me and my Lex! Please sombody tell me this is warranty work. What about the muffler now, it is pretty rusted up a junk.
