Do any of you 2000 GS400 owners have the low idle problem? I've searched the topic

and have seen threads that indicate it is inherent to only 98-99's, but just out of curiostiy I wanted to ask. I test drove a 2000 that seemed to have the symptoms.

NT is "no text" I have to do that in another forum I frequent when I reply to a message in the subject line only. Here you can just reply in the message body and not fill in the subject line.

Default 2000 GS400s do have low idle problem. At

least this is my experience, but this is based on only 2 cars, a car I test drove several times and the one I just bought. The symptoms are that when the car is in drive and at a stop, there is a noticable shake to the car, but when the AC is turned on it goes away. What a pain in the ***.
