1. The high revs on startup is completely normal it'll settle within minutes. Idle should be smooth once settled (700 -800 rpm) If the rev needle is bouncing around you may have an issue. These cars do take a while to warm up usually about 10 to 15 miles of driving. 2. A transmission Drain and fill will make shifting noticeably smoother overall but nothing like a modern DSG, ZF box etc 2. With the door handle looks like you've got rear child locks activated so check that. 3. Your A/C just needs Regassing, a simple fix 4. TPMS sensors are a nightmare on all older Lexus cars removing them is the best thing you can do. 5. Not sure about the memory seat issue but check the Lexus forums as i think there's a way they can be reset. Do that first before investigating electrics. SOLID cars overall , you've got a clean one barely even broken in at 60k! Should serve you well for a very long time if you keep up with the maintenance. Brake calipers get stuck easily so don't forget to grease the slide pins on the at least once a year, it's the only weak point in this car

You're a Legend bro🤝

Your car don't have a problem u just need to know the mechanics of cars...u seem to be the type of person who just jumps in and drive

I have a 2006 Is250 and I will fill you in on the engine problems: 1. Replace Thermostat, Could be stuck 2. Replace Purge valve under engine cover, may be faulty which can cause high idle and throw a cel. It is a switch that opens and lets exhaust gasses vent from your evap canister. If they cant vent, it clogs up the canister which causes high idle and and sometimes a gas smell, due to the switch not letting the gasses vent slowly. 3. Yes the Is250 can take a bit to reach operating temp ESPECIALLY when its cold outside. Thats normal. 4. For the AC, i believe thats your heater core. Havent had that problem happen to me. 5. I use an aftermarket mirror so thats out of my expertise. Same with the doors. The Is250 is so damn small no one ever sits in the back. There is literally no room back there 😅 P.S. Last thing, when you do maintenance, (especially spark plugs and coil packs) that require the intake manifold and throttle body to be removed, remember to DISCONNECT the battery. Long time ago when I first got the car i almost Ran 12 Volts through my hand because there is lots of parts by the Throttle body that are very sensitive to any sort of metal tools back there. Now I know what Zeus' Lightning Rod looks like. My Lexus IS250 is at 280,000 miles right now, so GOOD LUCK!!!

[@NavsGarage]

Ayy appreciate the help. I haven’t had the car for long so it helps a lot. I’m going to look into it and start working on some of the things.

[@visionnumber7988]

I got lucky with my 250. I now have 319k on it still running smooth. Alot of issues with these are small annoying things like sensors

[@doublleg7833]

@@visionnumber7988 Duuuuuuuuude 315k Hell Yea!! With the way the world is with car prices and such I probably wont buy another car. As much as id like a new sports car, i cant afford one & I almost guarantee both of our cars will outlast em all.(Knock on Wood) My next car will be and ONLY will be an Is-F. If i can ever get my hands on one.

[@visionnumber7988]

I’m 47 years old I’ve had to a good number of cars. And I will tell you that I am pretty impressed with this little car. I was convinced about seven years ago. One of the bartenders had the same car if I’m not mistaken I think it was a 2008 Is250. And he had like 638,000 miles on his with no issues. I thought he was lying to me that the engine was never replaced. But I also know a couple mechanics that told me they have seen these cars come in to the shop with almost 1,000,000 miles. The car was given to my bartender friend from his aunt and before her his uncle had it and bought it used. The whole time I had this car there hasn’t been many issues. Of course I had to buy a couple things for it like my driveshaft was crap. Brakes and rotors. My exhaust was really bad Destroying the little performance that usually comes with the package lol. A lot of people complain about that is not fast but I’m more concerned about these gas prices then speed. So with that being said if I had a choice I would buy this car again and I would not care if it’s a 350 or 250. The reliability is amazing. Anyone interested in these type of cars don’t shy away from high mileage.

[@Firstclasskais]

My car has 113k millage same year and starts at a high rpm as well

[@PatrickJRoland]

Have you checked the fuses in your car? Sometimes that can be a cheap fix for some of the electrical issues in the car.

[@NavsGarage]

I checked them when I first got the car and it looked fine. I’m gonna double check them since a couple more thing have happened since.

[@1manarmyguzman629]

185k on mine n still going! Engine revs high to warm up the engine but it chills out after 5min. I think that's normal on most vehicle's tbh

[@kwang-o]

The 2nd gen IS250 is GDI not port injected. carbon buildup on the intake valves is an issue on these engines and can cause a higher idle RPM. Use a GDI cleaner ($18 CAD) to clear up the carbon and see if that solves your problem. Search up “Lexus is250 sea foam” to see where they spray the formula in the vacuum lines. Lmk if this works!!!!😊

[@dirtomega]

Your 250 is the same color as my 2012 IS 350, except I have the back interior. I love that tan interior though. Man, it sounds like most of you electrical issues might just be fuses. Also, you might want to have your wiring tested. Great vid bro! I love watching Lexus content.

[@NavsGarage]

Yah I checked the fused when I got the car. But I’ll double check it and see what’s going on.

[@p-riff]

I have a 2006 is250 awd that I bought about 3 years ago with 65k also. Now I’m at 95k. The high rpm’s at cold start is normal and so is the clunky shifting. I drove a 2012 250 and they definitely improved the tcu software. I also did a drain and fill at 70k miles on the tranny, not much improvement but some peace of mind. For the carbon build up I was told to use full synthetic oil, premium gas, and change the pcv every 20-30k miles and you’ll be fine. They really don’t build up like vw/Audi 2.0T’s and bmw n54’s. Also make sure your spark plugs have been changed. They’re recommend at 60k on is250’s. When I did mine I looked at the intake valves and they weren’t too built up. My only complaints are the trans and the sticky dash lol. Great car otherwise!

[@NavsGarage]

Yah I run synthetic and try to run 91 but it’s so expensive. I daily a mustang and that has power for the price of 91. But definitely a great car.

[@aleksziolko3900]

i might be wrong, but could the rear right door not open because of the child lock?

[@gunitcruiser]

Replace your thermostat, that will probably fix your engine warm up time, interior heat and maybe your idle as well. Also make sure the child lock isnt on on your back door as well. its on the side of it when you open the door.

[@NavsGarage]

I’ll look into thermostat that could be it. Like I said haven’t looked into it at all yet. And the child lock isn’t on that was the first thing I looked at. It could be stuck on from the inside tho. Thanks for the tip

[@KAYJAYSTUDIOSYT]

How do you replace the thermostat? I know the part itself will probably be cheap but worried it'll cost a bit more for labor. Any ideas?

[@luigivillani3141]

Need to scan the module for the cabin comforts I wouldn't be surprised if you have a fault. A shared fuse even possible

[@NavsGarage]

Yah I’ll have to look into it deeper I’m pretty sure the fuses are fine tho.

[@ZFA1738]

Thinking of buying an is250 for my lady. I heard they’re reliable and comfortable cars to own.

[@ABHIJITHVVIJAYAN]

Any update on you memory seat any fix?? I too have same issue not even one memory seat buttons beeps or work. Checked all the fuses no issues there… ☹️☹️

No update. Mine still do not work

[@Clearly-Ashraf]

For the rear door handle, check and see if the child safety switch is OFF.

[@NavsGarage]

It’s stuck

[@mujib9779]

Did you check if child-lock was on for the back door?

[@NavsGarage]

I did the door is jammed

[@yaboifloat4467]

Same year same model 200k milds starts the same mine has a weird grinding sound that comes from the starter I think it is on start. Also has high rpm starts that’s just the car

[@NavsGarage]

Yah that’s what I was reading. I don’t have any weird noises or anything but high rev start for sure.

[@LexusLabo]

That’s the vvt gear

[@is2fiftyslowfsport744]

Wouldn't feel this way if you had an IS350

[@NavsGarage]

Couldn’t find one when I bought this car. I still like the 250 but even the 350 I’m sure has electrical problems

[@rafidalbotany1109]

Most smaller calls start cold at 1500rpm that’s with my Honda Civic aswell

[@NavsGarage]

I mean it doesn’t depend on the size of the car more of the size of the motor. Which yah the 2.5 in this car is more high strung

[@bortiz5260]

Question I have a is350 2006 I got a vsc check and trac control came on u know what it is ??

Not sure. I’d look it up. I’m sure the forms would have something on it

No heat , I think the coolant level is low

I got a 09 is250. good looking car and i like the interior a lot but i want something faster and a little bigger shit is crammed in the back. Im thinking a infiniti g37 for my next one. And btw i can tell your knowledgeable about cars, how can i learn like u bro? how did u?

[@NavsGarage]

I hear good things about the gs. Yah the Lexus is slow and small. I just learned from watching videos and spending a lot of time with them. But There is a lot more I can learn still.

[@KAYJAYSTUDIOSYT]

If you can afford one, I highly recommend the Lexus GS of around that year. Larger V6 is standard, a quicker V8, and a ton more room. I call it this car's older brother. Lol

[@Sipmeister007]

Change the pcv valve

[@NavsGarage]

Honestly don’t think it’s the pcv. There’s no noises or leaking. I’ll definitely keep it in mind when I look into my problems!

[@AustinsCoins]

@@NavsGarage I think you're supposed to replace every 60k miles, my service history shows Lexus did it for the 60k service. It's a cheap part too, so if you can do it yourself than it won't be expensive. I got mine replaced and it idled a little less. At stop lights it would idle at 800 I think and now it's 700.

[@NavsGarage]

@@AustinsCoins Maybe it is ill look into it and probably do it either way. Ill probably do it myself on a video
