I have an issue with my es 350. I was traveling on normal mode and there was no issues but when I switched to sport mode, my gear oil spilled on my engine and saw smoke on my exhaust pipE. I was quick to notice it so i stopped the car for a while to cool off.

Continued driving on normal mode and i didn’t notice any spillage again. Figured i will have to top up the gear oil.

What could be the issues?
Re: Club-Lexus by Louiscars: 1:08pm On Jan 01, 2025
Are you sure the tranny fluid hasn’t leaked all the oil out
Re: Club-Lexus by 2cribz: 2:29pm On Jan 01, 2025

You don’t have to speak like a small child or a fool.

I only ask a question. If you can’t give a good advice, move. Bastard.

I was able to still drive the car to my destination. Checked the color of the oil, confirmed that it was the gear oil. So far, I hvnt seen any leakage and the car is working fine.

I m just planning to buy another gear oil and top it up. Hopefully the gearbox is still okay.

Is there any error code when you scan? If no, you may need a zero point calibration on the vehicle.

I finally fixed my knock sensor issue on my ES300 and 5 days later another issue sprung up.

If I start my car and press the throttle to drive out, the car acts like it's about to die and sometimes it does.

If I allowed it to idle for like a minute or two, it doesn't do that.

What could be wrong? I have no check engine light.
Re: Club-Lexus by 2cribz: 11:35pm On Jan 07, 2025
Fuel pump
Expired plugs
Carbon filled knock sensor
Low gas
Vacuum leak
Catalyst block
Tps failure
It doesn't do slow or idle,rather it dies.
Fuel pump
Battery
Alternator
Or patakpata
Engine don sapa

it idles well. I hope it's a vacuum leak cos while changing my knock sensor, the mechanic mentioned the pipe that connects to the air filter has a cut

the culprit was the MAP sensor. All fixed now.

Lexus do not use MAP sensor. They employ the use of MAF sensors. Glad you found solutions to the challenge. If you replaced the MAF sensor, pls replace ethe engine air intake filter. It most likely had been clogged with dust and that would be the most likely reason you had a MAF sensor failure.

Hello all.

My Es 350 check VSC light has been on for some time now.

Then when I am driving on high speed the yellow check light begins to blink and the car begins to idle roughly while driving.

The electrician diagnosed and the problem was coming from cylinder 4.

He interchanged the coil on cylinder 4 with that of another cylinder, fixed a new plug and serviced the nozzle but issue persisted when we test drive on high speed(same cylinder 4).

Then he say the next step is to check the brain box that likely the IC of cylinder 4 in the brainbox is bad.

So we will be testing out with another brainbox tomorrow.

Pls any suggestion regarding this.

Will the issue be most likely from the brainbox ?

It's not the ECU, if you changed the coil and the plug and the misfire persists on the same cylinder, before got touching your ECU, check the injector for the cylinder, if injector is fine, do compression test on the cylinder. If it doesn't have compression, the the cylinder walls, rings or valves have an issue.

Thank you for your input.

We tested with another ECU problem persisted.

The injector was serviced also.

Pls how is the compression test on the cylinder done?

You have to go to a certified workshop that has pressure gauge.

Skip 06, they were prone to transmission issues. These issues were corrected from 2007 models upwards.
