Harvey, give us a bit more detail if you can please and we'll see if we can suggest something. I have an '04 LC5 that's been chipped so we're on the same wavelength! _________________ '04 KDJ120R LC5. Died 17th Dec 2010. RIP. |

Could it be a leak? The rubber pipe coming out the intercooler on mine was loose and had some blowby.
The loss could be this or the ECU trying to go into limp mode but chip is stopping it? _________________ Cheers,
