Engine Q&A 1990 Lexus LS400

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my LS400? It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. It’s just your LS400 firing up its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.
  • Why is my Lexus LS400 making engine noise? Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Lexus LS400 engine. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.
  • What could damage my Lexus LS400 engine? Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.
  • Can I put water in my Lexus LS400 radiator? While it’s not recommended, you can use water in your LS400 radiator in emergencies. Normally, you should only use a 50/50 mix of coolant and water or a pre-mixed coolant. However, if you are completely out of coolant and must continue driving, it’s better to have water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.
  • Why did my LS400 engine suddenly stop? There are different reasons your LS400 vehicle engine could suddenly stop. You may be looking at a lack of fuel, faulty sensors, issues with the ignition system, engine overheating, electrical problems, or mechanical troubles.
