      This is more preventative maintenance and super easy to do. I wouldn't want to be mid-way through a road trip somewhere and your truck becomes crippled. Less than an hour and a couple of cans of cleaner. Done.

      ​@@GXBOBExactly, I clean my MAF sensor every 15k. Takes 10 minutes, why not clean it? Took off the Throttle body completely and cleaned that up like new. It was nasty at 78k with mostly hwy miles.

    For those that do this, the engine struggling to turn on is the cleaner fluid entering the intake. I've had the same issue just cleaning the throttle body with MAF cleaner, the store was out of TB cleaner. Just give it 2 or 3 tries to turn on, and it will turn over on 2 or 3 attempt, don't burn the starter motor by holding the start button. The cleaner will burn off instantly and there should be no issues later.
    GX Bob I just bought my 16 GX with 56k miles on and thanks to your informative videos, I did all the maintenance, brakes, fluids all replaced. It's extremely helpful you referencing part numbers and even torque specs sometimes. I think I say for all who watch this, thank you for your time and effort to teach other diy GX owners. At least until electrics take over by tesla soy boys.

      Always good to take your car to the local auto parts store so they can scan it for free. Use those fault codes so you don’t waste your time with fixing issues that won’t solve your check engine light. Reason why i mention this is because my cel popped back on. My next quest is to replace the gas cap (cheaper fix) then I’m going to tackle the EGR valve.

    I recently had a check engine and track off come on while I was away from home. Had no idea what caused it, after a short panic of how to fix, we opted to go to nearest Lexus dealership. It was about two miles away, they took it in and said it would cost us 150 to have it tested. But if we let them fix what the problem was, the 150 would be included in the overall cost. The problem turned out to be a worn out gas cap. We ended up paying for a new gas cap and installation, just under 50 dollars.

      You threw out any prospects of saving fuel consumption the minute you chose to buy a GX. But kidding aside, not sure about shortcuts but the best thing you can do is to keep regular maintenance on your vehicle. Everything thing you do contributes to your car running lean. Spark plugs, air filter, keep your tires inflated, clean your throttle body or any component associated with reading air/fuel mixture and emissions. There's just too much to cover, but i'm sure you want to get all the easy stuff out of the way first. Just check my video library, there are some easy stuff to do without tearing your whole engine apart. Good luck, my friend.

      Hey Kevin. Looks like a tube connected to your resonator box which is part of your air cleaner assembly. I’m surprised the vacuum leak didn’t throw any codes. Usually that will just cause power loss and hesitation leading to a check engine light. You might want to snoop around for any other vacuum tubes disconnected. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly where your rough idle is coming from but the best thing to do is just start performing certain maintenance you can do at home…EGR….PCV…. Spark plugs….

I am literally tallying up the cost savings from my 49300K checkin at Lexus as they throw in all these gratuitous extra services needs. Turned in the car as i had a definite wheel bearing that is under warranty that needed to get replaced. Ironically the service tech first said that was not covered until i showed him the Powertrain Warranty that also covers wheel bearings. He said he didnt know that...really?!?! Throttle body service was one of the items that i should address for $247. Cha ching. Will be doing this service from your video so thank you! $247..really?? how long did this even take right?. Question though. What code reader do you recommend for the 2020 GX460. i have code readers for my BMW and my older Lexus GX470 (250K miles and running strong!) but havent needed one yet for my 2020 as not any issues so far but would like to have it on hand as the mileage climbs. thanks

      That would be too hard to diagnose because it could be multiple factors. Somewhere your truck is robbed of fuel, air, or spark. But i've seen easy fixes such as replacing MAF sensor or a simple clean fix the issue to more bigger issues such as fuel pump going out. Do the easy one first by unplugging your MAF sensor and start up your truck. If it starts but idles rough, then all you really need was a good cleaning or simple replacement.

      Half the time, My videos are not done in order they are posted. But for this particular video, in order to diagnose any emission system related check engine lights, you have to eliminate any reasons to blame the aftermarket part as the culprit. Process of elimination. I have reinstalled the uni filter since.

    My 2012 gx 460 is showing check engine light after cleaning the spark plugs with the nozzle which had given me random firing now it says bank 1 sensor high circuit I also have 4lo that keeps blinking any idea on these issues thanks.

    • @GXBOB
      @GXBOB  3 роки тому

      I feel like you cleaned your sparkplugs instead of replacing them with brand new ones because they were fairly new to begin with. With that assumption and the assumption that you already scanned your CEL, i'd disconnect all your sparkplug cables and reconnect them to ensure solid connectivity and none of them gone bad. Disconnect all your coil plugs and reconnect them. I say this because i typically point my fingers at the very last job i performed before the check engine light popped on. Also go back to all the hoses and connections you had to move out of the way to do your sparkplug cleaning. Many times i forgot to reconnect only one thing that will set off my CEL. Once all relative items that are sparkplug related are checked and your CEL is still popping on, i'd have to go with my next assumption that is just circumstantial and say that a 10 year old truck finally called quits on your O2 sensor or gas cap seal. That would be my next go-to.

    My 2018 GX 460 has 72k on it and i noticed that when i am at idle and ac kicks on the rpm jumps from 600-800rpm and then goes back down to 600rpm. If i turn off ac it idles steady at 600rpm. I am assuming throttle body and maf sensor?

    • @GXBOB
      @GXBOB  3 роки тому +1

      No not at all. That’s normal. Engine increases rpm when ac is initiated to prevent engine from stalling since ac requires a load at start before it levels out and the rest of your cars system catches up. Not sure if that makes sense but that’s perfectly normal. Has nothing to do with maf sensor or throttle body.

    • @GXBOB
      @GXBOB  Рік тому

      The reason that we disconnect the battery overnight is to fully discharge any capacitors in the ECU. Some have done this in 10-minute increments to an hour and found that the ECU did not reset. There are a lot deciding factors and overnight is not mandatory but more of a failsafe. You're fine either way but its sort of like saying why do you have to drain your cellphone battery completely before charging your cellphone. Nobody discharges their cellphone battery completely all the time but its just better.

    I just had my car at the Dealership for an oil change and they talked me into doing "This"...... Well, This was just cleaning the throttle body and not the MAF. I expected both to be done. I hate the half ass shit they pull their for a quick buck. They said they cleaned the throttle body well but said they never clean the MAF?? Is there a reason why they would say this and not clean the MAF?? I just bought this cleaning kit so me and my buddy can knock this out next weekend and I'm going to make sure they cleaned the throttle body in the first place. If they didn't I will be getting my money back and never going back to the Dealership I use closest to where I live. I wish I lived in Chicago so I could just have the Care Care Nut do all my future maintenance.

      Dealerships don’t make money cleaning the MAF sensor when they can charge you $180 for the part and $80 to install it. Remember they are in the business to make money.
