gotparts?

just got in my car today, drove it to work, about 20 mile drive. got to my driveway at work and the transmssion "M" light is blinkin and the car aint moving that much. any ideas? i turned the car all the way off and started it back up and it was fine. second time its done this to me. any ideas? fluid is good. not black, still red. no smell of anything burnt. car shifted fine all the way to work. weird. i did notice when i started the car up, it made a weird whine noise for a second after it started and went away.

gay.....i cleaned the maf sensor yesterday and double check the voltage on the tps. also double checked and smelled the trans fluid. double checked the voltage coming off the alternator and also the battery. everything checked out good. runs great. im guessin low voltage from banging my system. who knows, ill keep this updated if it happens again.

hopefully that will solve ur prblem. I jz got the car back today and my door lock is acting up too. My boy at the body shop told me thats my battery was really weak.

I've heard that the stock battery from lexus dies out quickly and especially if you have systems or lighting ran off of it.

Better to just ugrade your battery...My gs300 its completly stock and the car sometimes feels like the cars being "weak". And its just because your battery its not putting out enough voltage for the whole car! I'm probally going to have the battery changed out tommorow.
