Lori Ryan Kleinschmidt Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I initially posted several weeks ago with a problem with what our mechanic said was the Mass Air Flow Sensor on my 94 ES 300. That was not the problem. After 3 weeks we had it towed to Toyota/Lexus and they could not find anything wrong with the car although we explained what it has been doing. Car died on me when stopped at a light and when I tried to restart - when I would accellerate the gas the car would spurt and die. We brought the car home from Toyota and now it's doing the same thing and I am afraid to drive it for fear it will break down on me again. We are going to have it towed back in but any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks Lori :whistles: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same problem except my mechanic told me he couldn't find anything wrong but the coolant level was very low. I was experiencing the problem for a few monthes and then it got really bad in the last 2 weeks, intermitantly not starting even though it sounded like it was about to. Good luck, hope this solves your problem as well as mine. Only cost me $16 for coolant. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Could be a number of things......when was the last time the car had a full major tune up? Also possible that there is carbon build up in the throttle body. Did the car throw any codes (IE check engine light etc)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
