1991 Lexus LS 400. Car will not idle. Starts, then dies instantly. If held over 1000 RPM or so, runs fine.
Car has 125,000 miles on it. Recently, in troubleshooting this problem, replaced (original!) plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap. Problem is very intermittent. Car will run fine for weeks, then has 'no idle' problem for a couple of days. Had it in to shop twice, but they can't find anything wrong. Runs fine for them. Possible computer problem?
Also intermittent transmission problem. Won't shift into second gear. Bypasses second, going directly to third. Overdrive light on dash flashes when this problem is occurring. Is this also a possible computer problem?
