How to Troubleshoot a 2001 Lexus GS300

Introduced in 1991, the Lexus GS entered the midsized luxury sedan market and competed directly with models such as the Mercedes C-Class and the BMW 5-Series. While competing with prominent German made automobiles, Lexus inherited the respect attained from Toyota. Though the 2001 Lexus GS300 is a luxury sedan, it does succumb to the same problems inherent in other automobiles through regular wear and tear. Even with regular maintenance on a 2001 Lexus GS300 problems can arise that would have an out-of-pocket expense if a warranty plan is not available.

Instructions

1

Check both the air filter and fuel filter if your Lexus GS300 engine has difficulty starting. A dirty or clogged air filter or fuel filter can easily be replaced and may not only correct an engine start problem but will also increase fuel efficiency.

2

Inspect the power steering belt in your 2001 Lexus GS300 if you experience difficulty when turning the steering wheel. Power steering belts wear down over time and eventually must be replaced.

3

Inspect the heating core of your Lexus GS300 if a rank odor can be smelled while sitting in your vehicle. Mold and mildew can form from an antifreeze or coolant leak that deposits into the floorboard of your 2001 Lexus GS300.

4

Inspect the distributor cap of your Lexus vehicle if you experience a loss of power while driving. The distributor cap is a device in the engine that manages the wires from the ignition to spark plugs. The distributor cap may be loose, worn out or otherwise damaged, which leads to the spark plugs misfiring, firing out of sequence or not firing at all.

5

Inspect your Lexus GS300s carburetor if the engine undergoes stalling problems while driving. The carburetor may be improperly positioned, dirty, faulty or simply worn out. If the carburetor is dirty, it does not necessarily have to be replaced but can be cleaned instead.
