    Got misfire on ALL driver side bank cylinders (1-3-5-7)

    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...

    Got misfire on ALL driver side bank cylinders (1-3-5-7)

    Just to confirm, are you saying that Macs missed this clogged CAT? And that you discovered it on your own or elsewhere? What was the cost? Thanks…

    Got misfire on ALL driver side bank cylinders (1-3-5-7)

    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...

    Got misfire on ALL driver side bank cylinders (1-3-5-7)

    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...

    rear main seal?

    i had my RMS done a few weeks ago (2009 GX470 with 150k miles). Cost was about $1,000 for seal and labor. RMS was leaking more and more over the last few months and now it no longer leaks. While my mechanic had the tranny out, he replaced the tranny seal as a preventative measure. Don't have the...

    Lighting for night repair

    Hi All, What lighting do you use for the unfortunate nighttime repair? I have a pocket flashlight, LED headlamp and small magnetic LED work lights. Do carry or use anything different like a large portable flood light on a stand or a battery powered LED strip or something else? If you really want...

    rear main seal?

    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...

    PCV Valve for 2009 GX470?

    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.

    PCV Valve for 2009 GX470?

    I totally agree with you. I'm probably going to replace the current one just because I don't know how old it is. Thanks!

    Here's the pic. either this is the correct part and LexusPartsNow.com and Amazon are wrong or a prior owner had this installed by mistake.

    PCV Valve for 2009 GX470?

    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...

    2009 GX470 - What is normal idle spec? My idle swings from 700 to 500 back to 700

    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...
