Thank you @2001LC!! The amount of time, detail, and dedication you have put into figuring out this problem is absolutely remarkable. I'd like your thoughts on one more aspect of this stumble and stalling issue in the hot afternoon summer sun, when idling at a stoplight. I've had the stumble &...

@2001LC I finally got through reading several of your other threads going back several years, the Snowy resto, etc. Only took me a year to get to it. Based on your descriptions, I'm about 98% certain the SAI filter under the manifold on my '06, is probably disintegrated and gone. I'll need...

Thanks for sharing your experience @j3cub. Whenever I read about this issue, it almost always seems to be with a 2006 or 2007 LX, which is when they added the Variable Valve Timing (VVT-i) to the engine. Maybe that has something to do with the issue? It definitely seems to be a more common issue...

I have an '06 LX and have been contemplating installing and ARB front bumper on mine. Where did you buy yours?

Thanks again for the continued insight. I've been trying to read through the entire S.A.I. mod thread this week but it is taking me some time. I'd also classify myself as a very novice mechanic, so I often have to read things multiple times and even then I don't always understand what i'm...

@2001LC I truly appreciate all your input, experience, and expertise with this issue. It's been a huge thorn in my side for the past several years. If you are saying the 06-07 fuel pump is a known issue then I will add it to the top of my list of parts to replace. My 2006 LX is completely...

I also have a 2006 LX and I've been dealing with this exact issue every summer since I bought the vehicle five years ago with 150,000 miles on it. The LX drives great all year but at least 2 - 4 times every summer, when the weather here in Las Vegas gets near 100F and higher, and I've been...

Thanks. I had a few mechanics scan it for error codes a few summers ago and they told me it wasn't giving them any codes, which was the case until a few more misfire and stall events and the CEL came on, and only then did it throw a code - P0430 (bank 2 efficiency issue) - whereby they told me...

I bought it in May 2019 with 153k miles and have not changed the fuel pump since I bought it. Regarding this issue, I've read a variety of proposed solutions including replacing the MAF sensor, ignition coils, fuel pump, egr valve, fuel filter, and charcoal canister. I'm hoping to narrow down...

2006 LX - 202k miles: I have been dealing with the exact same issue for the past 4 summers in Las Vegas, since I bought the vehicle. At least 2 - 5 times each summer, when the afternoon temps are nearing or above triple digits and I've been driving it around town and on the freeway (staying on...

I'm joining the club. Drove my '06 LX up to Utah with my family this past month and my wife was complaining that her feet were freezing. Here's my question: Is there not a heater vent in the passenger footwell like there is in the driver footwell??

@lehiguy What did you end up doing with this issue? I'm in Las Vegas and my 06 LX470 stalled last summer when temps were above 100, check engine lights came on and stayed on. Error code is P0430 (bank two cat). I replaced the fuel filter in January and replaced the bank 2, downstream O2...

Thanks @2001LC! Do you think the CAT going bad (for situations like mine) is more from the misfire/stalling issue than from the SAI issue you expertly outlined? NOTE: My CEL only came on (and stayed on) after the first couple of times it misfired and stalled. Also, would a bad fuel pump only...

Hey cruiser friends, I'm dealing with what I believe is the exact same issue that @OEMGUY0720 had a few years ago, along with several other 2006 LX owners. My cruiser (2006 LX - 183k miles) is my daily driver and generally runs great, I've always filled it with premium fuel, and I generally...

Which bluetooth setup did you go with and how do you like it? How well does it work with outbound and inbound phone calls, as well as playing other audio. Does it integrate with the oem phone system?
