Replying to: holew (Apr 29, 2007 8:22 pm) I saw your message that was posted about a year ago. Did you ever resolve the problem?
#8 of 14 Smokes when starting by chickenbone Apr 21, 2008 (6:00 pm)
Hello, it does seem to matter when I park with nose down in our driveway vs the nose up. It appears to be more smoke when the is up for about the 10 seconds. Were you ever able to resolve the issue or find out the root cause?

#11 of 14 Losing power - help by gm1120 Apr 27, 2009 (9:08 pm)
Anyone ever experience just plain losing power while the car is running? I have a '92 LS400 with about 120,000 miles. Occassionally, it would just lose power, brought to the dealer, they can't figure out why. It happens maybe once every few months. Sometimes in stop and go traffic going at 30mph, sometimes on a freeway while going 70+ mph or going uphill from a stop sign going about 20mph. I never know when it would happen, but it seems to happen more when I park the car outside in the sun during work hours and it happens on my way home, sometimes 3 minutes after, sometimes almost an hour after I started driving. All of a sudden it would just lose power, like I don't have any gas, but I pull over and restart the engine and it goes away, but it's scary. Any help would be great!

Replying to: gm1120 (Apr 27, 2009 9:08 pm) I think that you should get the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) and its associated harness checked out for intermittent failure. Replies to this message: gm1120 (Apr 29, 2009 5:44 pm)
