Default Engine Pulsing

Hey Guys,

I'm having problems with my 95 ls400, my entire car is pusling and the engine light and service indicator are both on. The engine sounds great, the shifts are still very smooth (i had my transmission/brake/oil changed 3 weeks ago) I have no idea why it's pulsing like this!! I've NEVER had a single problem with my car for the past 10 years. I feel terrible driving by baby around like this.

Sharp96LS was very kind and gave me a contact number for a shop in Costa Mesa, but it looks like they're closed this labor day weekend.

Do you guys have any idea what's wrong with my car? Or do you guys know of any shops I can take my car to? (Cerritos Lexus quoted me 16,000 for repairs!!!) Thanks in advance, I would appreciate any feedback!

Regards,
Michael

BTW (This is my first day posting!!! I've been a big fan of this website for the past few years-)

I suspect a pollution control device, perhaps the EGR valve. Take it to the dealer or a qualified service source and have the computer codes checked.
