jwmcgee1 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 I have had my RX330 for about 2 weeks now and have not noticed any hesitation/jolt. Can you tell me when/under what circumstances the problem occurs? Have they fixed it on the 05 model? Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlisted Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 probably has the updated ecu. use 91 octanne gas and you will also notice a better ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rx330driver Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 probably has the updated ecu. use 91 octanne gas and you will also notice a better ride. ← I used to use the middle octane fuel for my rx330 and it resulted in the jolt. THen my friend told me that the middle one will jolt the car...so i switched to 91 octane and it STILL DOES THAT. dont know what to do now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prydgren Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Agree with jwmcgee1. We have had our Rx330 05 for three weeks. The first gear is rather short and the rpm decrease between 1st and 2nd is taking i little bit longer compared to between the other gears. It is also the way when shifting from 2nd to 1st. Is this the problem everyone is having a problem with? I keep the right to be sensitive with cars. I have an M3 that has an abrupt engaging of the AC compressor. So when driving at 70 mph and the compressor engages it can be felt as the wind turned outside or almost like a beat was missed. But then I am quite focused. No one of my passangers have understood what I am trying to show them. The gear shift on our Rx330 has passed my quality control. And then I was aware of the problem from this forum. It would be interesting to hear someone that is annoyed with their current car if they feel the same problem in a 05. Then I have to focus some more... PeO.

jwmcgee1 Posted June 14, 2005 Author Share Posted June 14, 2005 I am usually VERY sensitive to what my vehicle is doing. I HATE hesitations or jolts of any kind. I haven't felt anything like a jolt or hesitation in the RX. Of course it doesn't shift as well as the LS but then I don't know a car yet that can compare to the LS series and I have had 6 of those including one of the first 10 in the country when they were first introduced.

Husker4theSpurs Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 The hesitation seems to set in over time as well. I had my computer "re-flashed" and the hestitation was better, but consistently became a little worse as I put more and more miles on it after the "re-flashing".

Booyah Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Husker, so it has returned? Hmm I bet is was good while it lasted:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husker4theSpurs Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Yes, it has ... it's not as bad as it was, but is back for sure. Some days are worse than others it seems too or maybe my mood makes me more sensitive to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
