lloydhowse Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 My 2000 LX 470 has begun to hesitate annoyingly when stepping on the gas from a slow roll. My 1994 Toyota did the same thing before we traded it. When you step on the gas the engine revs a bit before the car moves. It seems like it might be the throttle body needs cleaning?
lx470tuner Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Sounds very familiar to my friend's Volvo. His car would rev 1000rpm-ish from idle before the car would begin to move from stand still. Turns out his transmission was getting on and was slipping. Due to $$$ factor involved in transmission replacement, he decided to just ride the car as is until it dies (He still drives it after 50000 miles have past since we discovered the issue). Hope this isn't the your problem but something to check out.
NicLX470 Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Yeah that for sure seems like a transmission problem if it revs before moving. Get it checked out soon.
