Wubbman Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 I've had my '95 ES300 for about a month and sometimes the trans does strange things. When I have the cruise on and am going down a hill it seems to lurch the car back and forth very slightly. It has around 103000 miles on it. Is this happening with anyone else? Also, today in a parking lot it would lurch the car forward whenever I took my foot off the brake. Not at all violent mind you, but it doesn't seem normal though. Also, do those transmission treatments that you find at WM work? Just wondering. Thanks for any info anyone can provide.
SKperformance Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 my 94 used to do that also i too it to lexus and they found nothing wrong with it when i still had a warrenty the problem has gone away since i added a cold air intake i think it was a problem with the throttle controller and vacum sensor which was being fooled by the car speeding up but it giving no additional fuel so the ecu was all confused as to why the car was going faster should be no problem with the tranny
amf1932 Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 Just a thought: By any chance do you have your climate control turned on? The reason being, if the air conditioner compressor cycles on and off that can make the car lurch slightly. ;)
SKperformance Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 it is not an a/c issue as i rarely used mine atleast on my car but a good thought besides mine was also a short and quick lurch 1 second intervals maybe if i remember it right
Wubbman Posted September 9, 2003 Author Posted September 9, 2003 Yeah, its a quick, soft lurch. And it only lasts for a few seconds. Its like the car figures out what to do midway down a hill.
