Default Stalled!!!!

Ok guys, in the last couple of moths my car has stalled twice while idle and in traffic! I have an akimoto air filter, borlas and a stereo. Does anyone know what the problem could be. Im no enginyr, but thinkin it might be cause of the filter or because its not been oiled up or cleaned in 9k. Someone help.

Default Check out the rough idle forum

Dude havent you read the rough idle forum? I almost have the fix for this problem. Its very common for GS400 owners to have rough idle and stalls. I will post the fix if there is one by tonight.

I would put back the stock intake before you take your car in, that way the dealership can't use the aftermarket intake as an excuse...

my car stalled twice since ive had it.. ( about 1 year) i read on the board it was the TPS, BUT if the lex dealer can not DUPLICATE the problem they will say.. TOOOO BAAAAD like pohanka did.. i suggest you try lexus of rockville. they replaced mine AND my friends. i havent had anymore problems.. but it only stalled twice in a year so.. honeslty i dont know if it fixed the problem. Hope this helps. good luck!

can you be more specific as how it stalls???? for example, are you slowing down when the engine just dies, or are you accelerating, stopping at a light, etc
