1998 Ls400 Throttle Body

[oohryry]

My throttle body will no longer reset the rpms to 650. They are in the 1200 range and I cant reset them manually from the info on lexls because it was for a 1990 to 1994 model and the sensor doesn't do it, its electronical which sucks cuz thats the reason why these Toyotas are taking off flying. Since there's a problem in my vehicle, it takes over the accelerator and jumps to 2000 rpms when the computer checks the engine. I assume the fail safe keeps it at 2000 rpms, but if the fail safe fails, I assume them Toyotas jumping past 6000 rpms. Just my opinion. but back to my question, I need a throttle body now because I cleaned it and it wont reset. My Lex keeps taking control of the throttle and I have to shut the engine off for a few seconds and restart it to get control of the throttle. Im getting sick of having to do this everytime I get to a stop light. I can mash the gas pedal to the floor to get to the fail safe point but that takes too long to accelerate. Any help because I cannot seem to find anyone with a 1998 thru 2000 throttle body besides the EXPENSIVE dealership. I know, spend the money, but I just finished spending two grand at Len Stoler Lexus on the timing belt, water pump, unper control arm, and spark plugs replacement. Tryna get a break here this summer. geez lol.

try ebay. Do you have a CEL on? For all this to be happening just because you cleaned your throttle body sounds a little weird. Check your codes before you waist your money for unnecessary parts.

Are you trying to buy an entire throttle body, or just the TPS? The sensor itself shouldn't be that much aftermarket, maybe $4-500, maybe even less. I'd also call salvage yards locally and Statewide, and check for crossover to the GS400/SC400, it's probably the same piece.

this does sound more like a TPS issue than a problem with the whole throttle body. I believe ebay has them for like $80ish.
