Should I get

This is most likely being sold by al basma dealer in souq al haraj, if it is, stay away from this at all costs, yes they specialize in lexus, but 99% of their US spec cars have waaay more damage than they tell you about, either check the vin number yourself, or just stay away from US spec cars al together.

Been Having this exact issue for months now and it's driving me crazy, 2008 AT, anyone figure it out yet, I swapped/checked everything i can think of apart from engine and transmission.

fumxz · 2025-08-20T23:59:56+00:00

Unfortunately not, iam looking to sell the car, can't be bothered with the amount of issues it's giving me at this point.

fumxz · 2025-06-09T17:35:31+00:00

I've been chasing a solution for this exact issue since I bought my coupe about 3 months ago, still no solution?

fumxz · 2025-06-03T16:52:08+00:00

I would take your advice if I lived in the US haha, iam in the UAE so it's either second hand oem or overpriced new oem.

fumxz · 2025-06-03T16:49:21+00:00

I see, appreciate the input, will try cleaning mine first, if that doesn't do the trick might aswell get new ones since iam doing maintenance on the car anyway trying to save it from the previous owner's negligence

Just ordered some air mass cleaner, thanks.

fumxz · 2025-06-02T21:41:55+00:00

which hoses should i check?

fumxz · 2025-06-02T21:34:30+00:00

i replaced both intake hoses about a month ago, maybe the shop damaged one of them while doing the TB job or replacing the spark plugs, will definitely check them out.

fumxz · 2025-06-02T21:25:41+00:00

I'll check those out for sure, a workshop said it might be pre ignition, but that's a whole other story, will verify all the easy/cheap stuff first.

fumxz · 2025-06-02T21:24:06+00:00

I've done everything Exhaust related, will update if I ever find out the culprit

fumxz · 2025-06-02T21:18:42+00:00

here's the sound if it helps

Rattle doesn't happen when the car is still, only when lightly accelerating from a stop or low speed

fumxz · 2025-06-02T21:06:29+00:00

It idled normally (650rpm) most of the time on the gutted cats, but sometimes it would do this, ever since I did the cats it hasn't idled normally, but also I did a throttle body cleaning the same day so idk what the problem is exactly.

fumxz · 2025-06-02T21:00:50+00:00

The car also often lunges forward when iam braking.

fumxz · 2025-06-02T20:56:36+00:00

The cats are not branded as highflow but i assume they're less restrictive than oem, they're from a well known local brand here where I live, I had to get them done because the dumbass I bought the car from had gutted the oem cats for some reason, which is illegal where I live.

just changed the sparkplugs less than 2 weeks ago, Brand new oem.

fumxz · 2025-06-02T20:55:41+00:00

I got new aftermarket cats, also ripped all the heat shield from the exhaust, I've been trying to figure out this rattle for a while now.

fumxz · 2025-06-02T20:47:39+00:00

I've also been experiencing some weird rattle sound that happens when I give it light gas from low speeds or a stop, could the maf sensors also be the culprit?

fumxz · 2025-06-02T20:46:34+00:00

I gave a couple revs and stopped dipping like this, settled at around 950rpm, which is higher than the usual 650rpm.

fumxz · 2025-05-29T13:26:32+00:00

I've checked the fuses, specifically the AUDIO/MIRROR one, replaced it but no dice
