2013 GX460 145000, all oil changes on time, good maintenance
8 months ago, got lights. Mechanic said misfire on number 7 coil. Replaced it. Running fine.
It happened again a month later. Found that if I disconnect battery it worked fine for a few weeks.
Happened again, mechanic thought itcwas the coil again. replaced, ran fine.
Fast forward after 5 coils…
The last mechanic spent some time checking it out and he thinks that it's the ECM. He replaced spark plugs (with correct), used all factory coils, coil plug connector, diagnosed/checked the fuel injector) He's not a Toyota mechanic (but a really good, honest mechanic).
I'm taking it to Lexus, but wanted to see if anyone is/has had these same symptoms. I've seen a bunch of threads about cylinder 7.
