I took my 2002 Toyota Landcruiser to the dealer because the steering had a lot of play and was wandering all over the road. They gave me a long list of repairs but I had them fix the rack and pinion and a new radiator. I took it to an independent mechanic and had the shocks and struts repaired along with a tune up, alignment and new coils. All of this work cost $3000 and today, the second time I’ve driven it, the VSC, TRAC and Service lights all came on and the idle is rough. It’s idling at 800-1000 RPM but kind of sputtering. I had no engine problems until I took it to the dealer, only the steering issue. Any ideas what could be going on?

Marlene, Sounds as if there are multiple issues going on and instead of just returning to your service shop or dealer it would pay you to do a bit of self-diagnosis if your willing. Can you Isolate one and describe the symptom(s) that best describes what's going on . . . For check engine / service lights (Monitor Indicator Lamps - MILs) get an OBD II code reader and plug into the diagnostic port (under the dash below the hood release lever). Replying with the active fault codes will help. Steve
