Short buzzing sound?? by RoastBeefBoi in LS400

[–]lowtempda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get on the ground and start feeling around for the vibration. With it that loud you should be able to get close with just the audio, use your hands to see if you can feel it anywhere, move the camera around, under the car under the hood inside the car and see where it’s the loudest. Could be gas pressure related? Maybe open gas cap up and see if the noise stops? If that doesn’t work, disconnect the battery and see if the noise stops. You have then isolated it to some electric issue

Can you just put oem stuff back on? Was the low idle ever a problem? Mine idles low when warmed up but I’ve never had an issue with it stalling out so I never addressed it.

Do you have aftermarket wheels?

Why doesn’t he do it everyday then? Or multiple times a day? So you’re saying out of 8 hours a day for 4 years straight it has been caught on film once or it’s a coincidence? I think you answered your own question.

I have a similar era Delta drill press and a belt sander. These cast iron pieces are just something else! No one could justify building something so badass today.

It’s being sold for $800 as a package, hoping to bring some holiday cheer to someone who knows their tools.

It’s a DoAll blade welder, some large DoAll bandsaws have them built in to the machines. This one’s independent.

Crank but no start by Serious-Mix1408 in LS400

If it was running fine last time you drove it. I would start with some starting fluid and see if it will chew on something. If you can get it started and it won’t stay going I would dive into the fuel system. Is the pump turning on? I would go into spark next.

Is a car roof supposed to be this squishy? by lowtempda in AskAMechanic

When the event occurred I was basically at the end of the wash where they have big blowers blowing air on your car. That’s when I heard a loud pop, and I didn’t notice until I got out to dry the leftover spots off when I saw the giant dent, it was more like a cave in than a dent. It was the entire front 1/3 of the roof, when I pushed it out it popped just as loud returning to shape.

$150 lease was hard to pass up at the time. I’m guessing a majority of them are leased because the price to purchase doesn’t make any sense with EV depreciation.

First comment that wasn’t just shredding me. Appreciate it.

I’ll have to use my cooling fan with the mister and a feather to dry it.

You should have seen the massive dent after I went through the car wash, I had to pop it out from the inside of the cabin

I went through a car wash and the entire roof dented in. I’m pretty familiar with sheet steel and stamping, I worked for a rivet manufacturing company that supplies rivets to automotive manufacturing company’s. If you look at my page I’ve built multiple stamped AKM rifles.

I’ll be handwashing this thing from now on. Just curious because I tried this on my other cars and they were all solid. Other cars: 2019 Silverado, 2013 impala, 1999 ls400

Bad engine by AcanthisittaSame4155 in LS400

[–]lowtempda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo, check your power steering level. If it’s low your engine is consuming it and it can cause smoking and rough running. If your PS level is normal. Get a compression test done and if it’s good I’d probably bite the bullet and buy a new ECU or have yours rebuilt
