Glad to hear there is another quality repair company in the Valley. I have a 2009 GX and have taken mine to LeksFixIt in South Scottsdale on Hayden, but they could not find the problem. They did say I have random misfires on the driver's side bank, but they couldn't diagnose what the cause is...
I was in Plano, TX this last week and spoke to the owner of Leksfixit for about 40 minutes last Friday regarding my misfires (he owns two shops, the one in Tempe and the one in Plano, TX). My misfires were categorized as "soft" misfires because no codes are generated, but the misfires can be...
AFei, did you try those new aftermarket coils and new sparkplugs? What's the result?
I have a 2009 GX470 with Bank 1 misfires, usually noticeable at idle, but I ignored the issue. RPM drops from 700/800 to about 500. The misfires were noticed by the guys at Leksfixit in south Scottsdale on...

I just got a quote from a mechanic who owns and runs his own shop in Mesa, AZ. For my 2009 GX470, the rear main seal plus labor was quoted at $1070 + Tax. I'll have him troubleshoot the leak as I think it's the rear main seal, but I'm not 100% sure. A few months ago I replaced the passenger side...
I'm replacing all old hoses and tubing. Some are flayed at the ends, others are hard like a rock. All together it probably results in poor performance.
Hi All,
I purchased a 2009 GX with 145,000 miles on it in August. Been going over all preventive maintenance items. I was told by a specialist at LexusPartsNow.com that my 2009 GX470 does not have a PCV valve. When I search for the PCV on Amazon, I find part number 12204-50030 but Amazon tells...
Hi All,
What is the expected idle on a warmed up 2009 GX470?
I purchased my GX two months ago and I'm going through all preventive maintenance items (all fluids changed, greased fittings, check torque on drive shaft bolts, replace leaking valve cover gaskets or at least torque loose bolts to...
