Hey all, I am having some issues with my AHC including bumpy, pogo stick ride that has been going on for about a month. I am located in the Phoenix, AZ area. Now that most of us are sitting at home with a lot of free time, I was wondering if any knowledgable members in the Phoenix area would be...

Im thinking its the coolant that was leaking and running down the brake hose. When I dropped it off at the dealership, i noticed the temperature gauge would rise fairly quickly every time I pressed the gas pedal. I also knew the leaking fluid was pink. I recently changed all fluids which...

It appears to be coming from this hose

The steering rack was recently changed as well, I'm hoping its just a hose or clamp. I own 2 LX470. I recently changed all fluids on both. I compared with the other vehicle and both the power steering and suspension fluid are lower on this leaking one. It appears that the suspension fluid is...

Noticed that there is some fluid leaking on the passenger side front suspension. Fluid appears to be a reddish pink and appears oily to the touch. All fluids recently changed at mechanic less than 6mo ago (transmission, diff, radiator, etc.) Also had an oil change in Oct and the mechanic did not...

yes iridium. If you have the time to answer some questions, what wear and tear parts should I have him look at on a 00 LX w/ 133k miles? I have a pregnant wife driving this car and really wanna avoid all headaches. I realize its a 20yr old car. Last service I did was 110k miles and it was timing...

Thank you for the very informative post! You are a wealth of knowledge. I replaced the spark plugs 1 yr ago (approx 23k miles) w/ Denso spark plugs. What fuel do you recommend generally Chevron Premium, or are all Premium the same (Costco for instance)?

"Specific Gravity" takes me back to my biochemistry degree and medical school days lol. It sounds like you and a lot of other posters maybe right on the money about the order I added it. The other car I put it in (my 99 LX) seems to be doing fine, the only thing I noticed is in idle it'll be at...

The distributor recommended added to full tank then topping of when 1/2 tank. I added it to a full tank. But liquid mixes pretty well none the less whether you add it first or last. I don't think it would be that drastic of a difference.

No I put in the BG44k the night before on a full tank and the next morning on my wifes drive to work all of these issues started to happen. No problems for 2 years driving prior to this. Deff related to the 44k, even if it may have been non-symptomatic issue that was pre-existing. I know 44k is...

So what I haven’t mentioned since the first post, and why my wife called me in the first place was not really the light. Which is Cel, vsc off, and vsc trac. But that the car shakes violently anytime the gas peddle is pressed. She had to drive to work and home at 30 miles an hour. I filled up...

You were right on the money throwing P0300, P0303, P0304, and P0306 misfire codes. Spark plugs were changed a year ago with water pump and timing belt at approx at 110k miles, currently 132k. Why would adding this to the fuel tank cause a misfire? Is it an underlying issue I had thats been...

I did tighten the gas cap myself, I'll run the codes with my OBD when she gets home. I deff do not think its possible to be a coincidence as she's driven this car for 2yrs without a hiccup and last night I add this stuff and first ever check engine/engine problems arise. Maybe it burning hotter...

So I added bg44k on a full gas tank to my wife’s 00 and my 99 lx last night drove 5 miles home and we both went to sleep. She calls me in panic on her way to work saying the check engine light is blinking and it’s making bad engine noises at high speeds. She got off the highway and drove 35mi to...
