If any of you have installed the SRT intake and have experienced engine die out check the following:
Is your cone filter attached to the intake pipe tight and secure? As you know the clamp is small. I experienced some die out and noticed that my seal wasn't holding so I went to Home Depot and put a much bigger clamp on the connection and the seal is rock solid now. Ever since, zero stall outs. Just something you might want to check.

engine died
Happened to me yesterday too. Driving slow through a parking lot and all of a sudden the engine dies. It restarted fine though. I called the dealer today and they said that if it happens again, bring it in and they'll check the diagnostics.
I only have 7500 miles on my 2000 GS400. It was a hot day too and had just filled it up.

lexguy,
i would say this in confidence: an isolated case. i owned 3 lex so far, and i actually had to find little problems so that i can go to servcie and chat w/my serviuce advisor there. the only prob i had were: cd skipping on my 93 gs(1st one), and window squeaks on my 98 ls400. that was it..
as far as the % of parts break, lexus is still the lowest of all car co.
will

Mine too
Kind of scary....but my GS4 with only 5000 miles on it.
Babied more than anything I own stalled when I was waiting to turn left. Just put it in park, turned it off and restarted the car. Everything has been fins since.
I too have the SRT intake mods.....my clamp is tight.
SO I dont know what it could be. I am taking it in on Friday and I will mention this to them. I will also mention the "throttle-off shock" that lextech suggested.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
MIKE

Other than that, we all know this is a great car, amazing at times too. Love it, but nothing is perfect these days.
