Lexus ES250 Engine Misfire Diagnose:
Scan the trouble code by GTS firstly,there is not any DTCs.
Then tested the cars,but the engine misfire symptoms do not occur during we testing car.
So,our technicians asked the Lexus ES250 owner to record the situation when misfire trouble appearing againt,include:speed,road condition,temperature,weather….
Several days later,the customer called back again and told our technicians that the misfire appeared again.After analyzing the data record by customer.And found the misfire usually happened on rainy day.So technician believe the misfire trouble was related to windshield wipers.
Test car again,and turn on windshield wipers, as expected the Lexus ES250 misfire after a short distance driving,and it was be restarted at several time trying.
It most likely the misfire trouble caused by below reasons:
