RSilva Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 My 2001 IS300 accerleates very slow, i floor it and it takes forever to accelerate. Ive almost been rear ended because of this. When the acceleration kicks in, it changes gears very hard. Does this happen to anyone else? What is wrong with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartkat Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Sounds like the engine has gone into "limp mode" for some reason. Do you have a Check Engine Light? If so, take the car to a store that will read the code and then find out what that code means. There is also a chance that you have the "snow mode" button pushed. You might want to check that first. Another posibility is that your trac control is causing a brake to come on. or you have a problem with a wheel sensor on the ABS. In any case, there should ba a trouble light lit on the dash. Not to mention you could have your E brake on or one could be stuck, on the rear wheels. Need more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
