You have piqued (sp?) my interest...what should one expect in 8-10K miles, as I have those tires on my Crown Vic..

Well, that will be very disturbing if it happens...... Must admit though, that the Dunlops I had on there got noiser with age, much noisier.....

The michelin harmony tires. They came on my 97 ls400. I replaced them with the same...I like them so well, I just order a pair to go on my 01 sle solara. Just my opinion.

and the michelin harmony tires comes with a 80k mile warranty. And they are quiet...even when they start to where....maybe someone else can provide pros and cons for the harmony...this is just my experience...thx,

Drive by Wire by alawood

I have a 2003 LS 430 with 74,000 miles, when drive alone at highway speed the engine has a dead miss that comes and goes. I took it to a Lexus dealer and they said it was the drive by wire system. Is there a modular for the drive by wire?

Found out today that my problem was the thorttle position senor, I also found out you have to buy the thorttle body to get the Thorottle Position Senor. #1250.00 worth.

Idle-up (device) Valve failure. by wwest
Aug 10, 2009 (3:53 pm)

Our '92 LS400, 120,000 miles, has been "drinking" power steering fluid.
 
Often lots of smoke from the exhaust at startup but fine thereafter.
 
Turns out the idle-up air metering valve has failed and is allowing the PS fluid to enter the intake manifold. $140 for a new one from Lexus or $80 for the same item for a 91 Camry.
 
Since this is only used if high stearing effort is required I have simply blocked the airflow on both ends.
 
Anybody else use that solution and have you encountered any adverse effects..??

Well, that didn't work, the pressure is pushing the fluid past the "blockage" and still flowing into the intake manifold. I think I'll replace the idle-up valve with a simple pipe plug next.
