Will do, thanks for the suggestion.

I haven’t checked as I had been driving ;) , will try to duplicate while parked.

It is parked outdoors. It gets all the weather.

07 LX470, 195k. Recently, when I use the turn signal, the “R” gear indicator light in the dash turns on and blinks. This is intermittent. Only electrical work done to the truck was bumper, winch, light bar and rewriting turn signals when fog lights were installed. This was 3 years ago. Any...

A short trip the Maze area of Canyonlands NP.

FWIW, my 07 threw a PO420 code last summer. I replaced O2 sensors and did not fix it. Ultimately I read @2001LC s post on spark plugs loosening. Sure enough, one on the driver back had backed out, gas was bypassing it, and my trims were off. Mechanic thought that eventually wrecked the cat...

Drove to the Maze area in Canyonlands. First off road trip of the season!

I had a similar issue, but mine 190k threw a P0420 code. Found some under torqued spark plugs and a coil that was damaged from gases bypassing a plug. Might be worth checking plugs and coils.

This weekend I replaced spark plugs. Two on the right bank came out with very little pressure. On the left bank, one of the coils was filthy. I pulled it and the spark plug was barely in there. There was also a crack running the length of the coil, probably from high pressure blowing past the...

It was warm for sure but nothing crazy. I don’t have torque pro- does that connect via a Bluetooth ODB connection?

Looks like techstream is next. I run high quality 91 all the time so hopefully this is not the culprit. Will probably replace fuel filter while I'm at it…. at least get the easy, inexpensive items done first to rule them out.

Air filter is newish, replaced at 185k, truck now at 190k. Will check MAF and vac lines. I was wondering about fuel pump. The truck did feel sluggish, but at the time I wrote it off to lots of wind resistance, altitude and a full load.

Thanks for that! Looks like I need to connect with techstream

Anyone experienced this before?

hi mud, I could use some advice. 07 LX470, 190k. I've had the truck for 3 years and 20k miles. No major issues until a few weeks ago. Was driving over a mountain pass and noticed that when I accelerated, there was a high pitched whistle from engine bay. Letting off the gas slightly caused the...
