Lexus Repair: LexusRX300, fuel pressure regulator, vacuum leaks
QuestionI have a 2000 rx300. The engine dies right after it starts, once it warms up it runs fine. Any ideas?
AnswerI would look at vacuum leaks on the intake system. Also the EVAP & Fuel pressure regulator hoses also.
Clean the throttle plate, and if equipped, the idle valve & EGR valves. (I don't remember off hand if you v6 has the dual electronic throttlebodies & vvt-i, or the single throttlebody with the said valves.)
If there are any stored ECU codes - the engine light is ON - I would get them scanned for free at someplace like a parts store (Like an Autozone) to see what your own computer says.
