I recently bought a 2007 LC5 with a 3.0L D4D engine. Prior to purchase i had a mechanic check the vehicle and he said the vehicle probably needed a minor service so he did the oils and filters the first week i had it. 3 weeks later i am having a very strange phenomena.
1. My car starts and immediately there is an engine check light. The revs do not go up and it has no power. However once the temperature has gone up to just below the squiggly lines for the coolant i I switch off the engine and restart it. The engine check light is gone and the vehicle will rev and has power.
2. When i was on the highway yesterday i wanted to overtake a truck so i flat footed the car and as i was halfway overtaking around 3000rpm the engine switched off and the engine check light came back on. I parked by the the roadside switched the key off and turned engine on once again and the engine roared back to life, this time i went home and didn't dare go above the 2500rpm mark.
When we put it on a machine today for fault codes, the code P1229 (fuel pump system) came on as well as a code for immobilizer (I'm forgetting the code)
What could be the issue.
