A lot of times the fuel filter location for a newer model car like you have is it's going to be in the fuel pump

yes

Is it a standard? If so sounds like the clutch is giving up and needs replacing. If it is an automatic then check fluid level might be low, that can cause slippage.

Replacing plugs is not a complete tuneup. Problem could be in plug wires or in coil that fires the plug. If you lookup codes and identify cylinders that are misfiring, try disconnecting that plug wire on both ends (plug on one end, coil on the other) and substituting a different one temporsrily. If your coils are mounted directly to the plug, try swapping coils between cylinders to see if the problem shifts to a different cylinder.

Hi, The first thing to do is take off the hub caps & see if one or more wheel nuts have come off! If that is not the answer then check if one of the brake pads has come adrift. The only thing easy left is the wheel bearing, should that not solved then you have a half shaft problem and you need to take that out look at the teeth on part that goes into the Diff the teeth should be straight if not then you need new half shaft & if one has gone you can be assured so has the opposite wheels well on they way to going or your Diff needs renewing & thats expensive. Please leave me feed back: Malcolm Campbell, Thanks.

i am suggesting you a link which will help you to solve the problem easily i had tried this link before http://toolsnyou.com/

Yes, I would have to agree that it is a wheel bearing if the noise is only coming from the left side. Not uncommon on this year and model.

You can get empty key cases on ebay, open the old key case and remove the transponder with the buttons on it and transfer it to the new key case, no programming necessary because you are using the same transponder, al that's left then is to have the key cut to fit the ignition switch.

You don't have to worry much, but it has to be fixed. What was the code #?

Basically, stop driving it until you can get the transmission serviced. If you can safely jack up the vehicle and support it so it cannot fall on you, you can possible save some money by checking all the electrical connections to the transmission. Sometimes the problem is a loose or bad connection. If that does not work, your safest bet is to bring it to a certified mechanic, especially one who specializes in Lexus.

Have you checked the switch on the brake pedal? Need to find out if computer is part of brake light circuit if everything else is working.

The minimum compression required is 95 psi, below this there is no good combustion, incusive the spark plug gets wet in gasoline If this condition exists, you should check the piston rings and cylinder surface

Please see the diagram and yellow color highlighted part is the yaw rate sensor.

Check the pressure in the fuel pump Check the fuel filter for dirt When there is weak fuel pressure, it generates this type of failure Also check the compression on the engine cylinders

if it has only happened the twice when you have went over high snow , it seems to me the sensors have just got wet then sent the signal through to the computer as they normally do , i would'nt worry about it unless it came on constantly ....
