Lexus RX 350 is skipping and found to have low compression.
Lexus RX 350 had a check engine light come on and within a day it started skipping badly.
Mechanic found to have low compression and one bad coil. So mechanic replaced coil and 4mo old spark plugs. problem not solved
So he is thinking I may have to replace the engine!
Any ideas??!!

Lexus RX350 Low compression
So the problem has been solved! After replacing one coil which showed on diagnostics to be an issue, mechanic dug into back of engine and found other coil loose and a bracket and bolts missing! So I had the car in for a full tune up last winter and this is the only time I can think that anyone could have made a mistake and not tightened down things. But whatever happened to cause the issue, it has know been solved! Car is back running like a top at 127k! Thanks
