It's giving me anxiety just watching, bro! 😆 Those injectors look pretty suspicious. If it were me, I'd probably bite the bullet and buy a whole new set of OEMs. 🤷♂️
Marty makes pretty good LS460 repair videos. He shows you just about every step, I think if I tried to do this same repair I'd have this video on my phone to refer to a little. One of the best things about DIY auto repair, is that you can accomplish several other things while everything is apart. For example, I always put some kind of anti-seize compound on the fasteners while they're removed. I always assume at some point I will have to take it apart again at some point, and even if I never do, the fasteners will not seize or rust. Same thing goes with electrical connections and o-rings, a little bit of silicone grease can make future repair work much easier - Also you can do some cleaning of the engine if you have the time, and desire. At least you can spray some foamy degreaser for times you don't want to be spraying water at the engine. Then just come along later once the engine's back together and rinse off the dried degreaser.
Kudos to you mate for taking this on, quite a big job. I really like this 460 especially because it’s AWD which we don’t get on the ones here. Looking forward to the next video.
I had this job done at the dealership for my LS460. They had my car for nearly 6 weeks. I was mad and pissed. After watching this video, now I know the big job that was done.
Love the videos on the LS. I bought my wife a used 2013 this summer with 75k miles and Lexus gave it a clean bill of health after the purchase. But in past week Heater stopped working(easy fix) and now some of the Climate control lighting isn't working. (Why I am looking at LS fixes) Look forward to seeing your project continue.
How much of the repair work are you planning to do yourself? There are workarounds to a lot of expensive repairs. For instance, lets say your car has the air suspension and it broke down. You have the option of having it fixed, which might cost $3000, or you can just delete the feature by replacing the air shocks with conventional kind for $1000 or less.
Currently in the process of changing a DI Fuel injector that was misfiring it’s a pain in the ass engine. Good news is I found the problem as soon as the air intake came off…A mouse chewed through the DI wire. Wish me luck when it’s buttoned back up
on my infiniti m56 (100% gdi), I was having some DI issues like a p0300 that I could not find the cause to. I ended up buying new Bosch injectors as a part of the parts cannon firing process. As I was pulling the old injectors out, I found that a couple of them came right out along with the rail. Turns out the seal on the tip was no longer good and was likely allowing air to enter the chamber....hopefully it,s something as easy as a bad seal in your case.
I have an 2008 LS600h. Had some noticeable random misfiring going on, only while decelerating. Also excessive grey smoke from the exhaust while idling, and poor mileage. Two DIs were tested dripping. Beyond repair, so they were replaced. I am lucky with a good Toyota Lexus specialist in my area. It took them 10 hours. These engines are very complicated. However, it seems to purr as a kitty again! Btw, for some reason all ls600h cars I drove, report some random misfires during decel. In some cars it's noticeable (vibrations), in some cars not. This seems to correspond to the amount of random misfires being reported. Lexus has no bulletin for this, but I just cant imagine this is not a known issue.
I just wonder if it isnt a wiring issue by the looks of the previous wiring repairs. Are you replacing the injector plug ends while you are in there? It certainly looks like whoever messed with the injectors before had some broken connectors and chose the cheap zip tie fix. I'm tuned in on this one, keep up the good work!
Yea jobs like this seem over whelming before doing it but ends up being not that bad, I had to do knock sensors on my ls430 which they are under the intake manifold similar to this car and I was overwhelmed as I never really dug into a car that far before but after doing it I realized it really wasn’t that bad
Your darn right! Most people seem to be of one mindset on this: "Tag and bag the parts? Oh Pshaw, there's no way I'd EVER forget where this bolt goes!". Then 3 days later - I also take pictures of what i'm working on sometimes and even film it if necessary, when it comes to fixing cars, you cannot really be too thorough in marking where they go!
I cant wait for the new videos on the ls im in the same boat on my gs460, 😅 like everything your doing i have to do thank you in advance for the content maybe a parts list with the numbers if you could , keep the videos coming !!!!!!
I remember seeing a video of lexus mechanic saying, these direct injection injectors cannot be mixed, they are numbered and have to be placed in there original location. Why didnt you just send out the injectors to be cleaned and tested instead of buying new?
Mine were definitely all mixed from the previous repair 🤷♂️ But I’ve read the color is what matters. I will be sending out and having them cleaned and tested instead of buying new
This video gave me anxiety LOL - I was thinking about getting a 460 but after watching this I don't think that is the car for me. I have a 430 and I can do most repairs but the 460 looks way more complex.
They all have the same part number so it mostly goes off the black rings (or brown or yellow etc) For some reason mine were mixed, Black driver side and brown passenger side
I think what you usually do, is you swap the coil packs around til there is no change in the idle. That's how you know its the bad one. Then you go cylinder-by-cylinder and swap the coil packs. If that has no result either, then change the spark plug(s) until you know the problem can't be the plugs or coil packs. Once you eliminated those parts as the source of trouble, that only leaves a bad injector as the culprit.
My brother is looking to have his own channel/account @superchargedisf. We live 40 minutes apart and couldn't get schedules to work for filming due to different careers. Back to me doing my own thing.
@@djardy07 Thanks! Yup life, needs and desires change so always trying to have the best setup. Sequoia is solid and I needed another Lexus in my life. So here we are repairing it 😂

This. You're going thru all that trouble might as well have the piece of mind.
Common sense really. Either get oem or oe.

Cant wait to see what you do bro. I also got a 13 ls460. Dont know what to do with it though

So how did it go, what other things did you find and fix while you in there?
on my infiniti m56 (100% gdi), I was having some DI issues like a p0300 that I could not find the cause to. I ended up buying new Bosch injectors as a part of the parts cannon firing process.

Could definitely be the wiring, I'm going to do all new clips to rule that out!

it will run like new when u put it back together 🤞
Keep working hard bro
Hello, when you remove the bolts you should mark a zip lock bag & put the bolts in the bag different bags for each section of bolts you take out.
Your darn right! Most people seem to be of one mindset on this: "Tag and bag the parts? Oh Pshaw, there's no way I'd EVER forget where this bolt goes!". Then 3 days later -

Can wait to see it fixed

ur gonna change all injectors and are they all same on LS460/600 part number? can u say at the end how long it all take 🫡
Do everything right while you've got everything torn apart.
did you have to buy a specific injector? im seeing that they have a main part number and each has a different part number above
all of mine have black o-rings so i cant tell which one i should buy, i have 2 bad injectors
They all have the same part number so it mostly goes off the black rings (or brown or yellow etc) For some reason mine were mixed, Black driver side and brown passenger side
This engine looks like a pain to work on
Toyotas are easy to work on and never break down everyone knows that and don't depreciate there has never been one in a junk yard that's a fact
They are magic and never break. The injectors also never go bad 😂
Good job
How did you diagnose the bad injector? I got a misfire on Cylinder 2 and changed the plug and coil still misfiring
I think what you usually do, is you swap the coil packs around til there is no change in the idle. That's how you know its the bad one. Then you go cylinder-by-cylinder and swap the coil packs. If that has no result either, then change the spark plug(s) until you know the problem can't be the plugs or coil packs.

Is that a starter under the intake manifold?
I don’t believe so, that should be under the passenger side exhaust manifold
Hey Marty you might want to get in touch with the Car care nut he has a youtube channel as well and he is a Toyota and Lexus specialist
Oh yeah I follow him and he has great stuff! I reached out and didn’t hear back
Or Scotty Kilmer .. if he is still alive 😅 The guy is a legend. I am sure Marty knows but just stating it here .. may help others who knows !
What happened to Misfit Motoring ?
Was that not his brother?
@@AHMEDMOOSAJI
I thought twas them together. Must've had a falling out 💔

Hectic...
Nice
Did you get rid of the ISF for something slower ?
ISF wasn’t very practical and small interior. Sold it in April and built my Sequoia.
Got this LS for the space and comfort, with similar power
@@MartyMotoring I understand! We all have our journey and I’m sure you will make great content
@@djardy07 Thanks! Yup life, needs and desires change so always trying to have the best setup. Sequoia is solid and I needed another Lexus in my life. So here we are repairing it 😂
would you consider a dodge charger I hear the quality of a dodge is far superior to Toyota these days
😂😂😂 said no one but hood ass people that don’t know shit
Lol oh yeah let me go trade it in right now
This cars a money pit you'll be working on this for years to come.
Ran great the other day all back together
