I don,t know what it,s problem is. It runs ok most of the time only when I slowly
push the gas it dies. If I slam the gas it takes right off?

what have you checked under the hood? i would take a look at all your vaccum hoses for cracks and wear. and if its not that for sure, then take it down to autozone or pepboys for a free diagnostic check where they look for codes

Default Tail Lights ?

Thanks for the info.
My 92 es is a work in progress. The left side is a little rough and engine needs work but I love
the car. I got it 4 years ago. Everything stock and little by little I have put stuff on it. I got 17s on it,
new paint ( all one color no two tone ), new sound ( cd player two 10s in trunk ) and window
tent. I got the left side banged up and now need to fix the door and fender. The car has 164000 miles
and I realy want to find a new engine for it but for now fix what I got. It,s a great car and I am happy
to find a site to talk to people with lexus cars. By the way, would say 97 / 98 tail lights fit my 92 es ?
